The new version of the Xiaomi system is already crossing borders and HyperOS 3 begins to arrive in Spain as part of the global rollout. It is a major update based on Android 16 which touches on the interface, performance and features with artificial intelligence, so it is no wonder that many users are waiting for the update notification.
The process is not instantaneous: The company releases the OTA in batches and in a staggered mannerIt will initially reach a small group of devices and regions, and then gradually expand if no faults are detected. Spain is joining the European Union (EEA/EUXM), so the first compatible units will be those receiving the signal over the coming days and weeks.
Availability in Spain: first batches and models
According to Xiaomi's plan, the first Global Betas have started to be compiled for Europe and international markets on these devices: Xiaomi 15 (OS3.0.2.0.WOCEUXM), Xiaomi 15 Ultra (OS3.0.1.0.WOAEUXM) and Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro (OS3.0.1.0.WOYMIXM / OS3.0.1.0.WOYEUXM). These firmware references with EUXM and MIXM suffixes make it clear that the arrival in the EEA region —which includes Spain— is underway.
Along with these betas, Xiaomi has confirmed a first group of models that will begin receiving the HyperOS 3 OTA before the rest in the global market, including Spain: Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 14T Pro, Xiaomi 14T, POCO F7 Pro and POCO F6 Pro. This start-up serves to measure stability and real performance before expanding the range.
- First wave (Global Betas EEA/Global): Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro.
- Stable OTA launch in Spain: Xiaomi 15, 14T Pro, 14T, POCO F7 Pro and POCO F6 Pro.
- Expansion in the following weeks: Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro, MIX Flip, Redmi Note 14/14 Pro/14 Pro+ 5G, POCO F7, F7 Ultra, X7 and X7 Pro, in addition to Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad Mini.
This phased schedule allows that if any problem arises, be corrected before impacting the entire fleet of mobile phonesThat's why you'll see that your friend gets it today and maybe you'll get it in a few days.
How to speed up the update on your Xiaomi mobile
Wang Le, Head of Application Software at Xiaomi, has detailed that the distribution system prioritizes those who search for the OTA manually when each phase begins. In Settings > Updates, manually checking at the right time is more likely to show the download sooner.
There are no secret shortcuts or special lists: There is no “VIP list”Compulsively repeating the search doesn't help either; Xiaomi itself recommends checking once or twice a day and being patient before entering the next batch.
The deployment starts with a very small and reliable group, then It expands to a small percentage (1%-2%), and from there it increases if telemetry data confirms stability (reboots, app closures, battery consumption, etc.). This is why the OTA may take a little longer in your case, even if your model is compatible.
Important: To receive HyperOS 3 via OTA your device must be running an official ROMIf you're using a modified ROM, you won't be able to connect to Xiaomi's servers and the update won't appear. You can check this with tools like HyperOS Updater or, if you prefer, restore the official ROM at an authorized technical service.
Key new features of HyperOS 3
The layer introduces a cleaner design and smoother animations, along with a reorganization of settings and quick access to make everything more intuitive. It also debuts the so-called Hyper Island, Xiaomi's proposal to manage announcements and ongoing activities from the top of the screen.
- AI Features: Notes with AI, automatic descriptions of what is on the screen, AI voice translation and intelligent search in the system.
- Gallery: search by description of photos and dynamic wallpapers generated from your images.
- Performance: faster openings, better resource management and more stable multitasking even in mid-range devices.
- Game: Game Turbo improvements for maintain FPS and temperature under control with greater energy efficiency.
There are also changes in the background that help the system respond better and consume less in everyday scenarios: smoother transitions, fewer hanging processes, and a more consistent experience across apps.
What to do if the OTA still doesn't appear
If you have checked manually and the download does not appear, the most sensible thing to do is wait a few days and try again. Hitting the search button doesn't change anything; it's better to match the next percentage increase in display.
Make sure you have enough battery and free storage, use Stable WiFi and keep the correct region (EEA) if your firmware is European. As soon as your model enters the batch, the download option will appear without any additional tricks.
With the arrival of HyperOS 3 in Spain, The first models are already paving the way with EEA and Global firmwares while the rest await their turn. If your device is on the initial list (Xiaomi 15, 14T/14T Pro, POCO F7 Pro, or F6 Pro), it's a good idea to check manually daily; if it's your turn later, the phased rollout will reach you in the coming weeks. A more streamlined interface, the new Hyper Island, and a good batch of AI features that bolster the experience are on the table.
