The Poco F7 Ultra has begun receiving Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 update based on Android 16 — at least for European models. The rollout brings a fresh interface, performance improvements and better battery and memory management.
What’s in the new HyperOS 3 build?
The European firmware lands as OS3.0.3.0.WOMEUXM and weighs in at a sizable 7.6GB over the air. Expect Xiaomi’s latest skin on top of Android 16: a cleaner, iOS-inspired visual refresh, snappier performance, smarter background process handling and optimizations that aim to extend battery life.
How to check and prepare for the update
If you bought your F7 Ultra in Europe (look for "EU" in the current firmware build), you can manually check for the update by going to Settings > About phone > System update. Because the download is large, only start it on a fast, stable Wi‑Fi connection or while on an unlimited mobile plan to avoid interruptions or excess data charges.
Quick checklist before updating
- Confirm your build includes "EU" in Settings > About phone.
- Back up important data — big updates can still run into hiccups.
- Charge your phone to at least 50% or keep it plugged in.
- Use a fast Wi‑Fi network for the 7.6GB download.
Why this matters
Major OS upgrades like HyperOS 3 are more than cosmetic: improved memory management and background process control can make a device feel noticeably faster and more reliable over time. For F7 Ultra owners, the update brings the latest Android features plus Xiaomi’s refined interface tweaks — a meaningful refresh if you’ve been waiting for a smoother experience.
If you don’t see the update immediately, don’t panic — rollouts are often staged regionally and by device batches. Keep checking System update or wait for the OTA notification.
