Xiaomi starts development work on HyperOS 3 for the Xiaomi 14 series

Xiaomi has kicked off internal testing for the stable release of HyperOS 3 on the flagship Xiaomi 14 series. This signals that the next major OS update is progressing toward a public rollout. As usual, though, it’s stirred up debate among users worldwide over how the company handles its beta testing process.

HyperOS 3 update for the Xiaomi 14 series is being tested

Right now, internal testing is sitting in what they call an “internal stable beta” phase—a few internal testers have already gotten their hands on the new firmware. If you’re tracking versions, here’s the breakdown:

Xiaomi 14’s EEA build is OS3.0.0.1.WNCEUXM; India has OS3.0.0.1.WNCINXM; Xiaomi 14 Ultra sees OS3.0.0.1.WNAEUXM for EEA and OS3.0.0.1.WNAINXM for India. Xiaomi 14T gets OS3.0.0.1.WNEMIXM globally and OS3.0.0.1.WNEEUXM for the EEA. So, yes, it’s being tested across major regions.

But here’s the catch: Chinese users are the first in line for these internal and beta builds, while international fans literally millions of users in Europe, India, everywhere, are solidly in wait mode. And people are definitely voicing their frustration. More users are asking for public beta access, pointing to Samsung and Apple’s beta programs, which allow folks worldwide to preview and help shape the new releases.

This illustrates the core challenge Xiaomi is facing as it grows globally. With such a big international user base, they’ve got to smooth out the process and close the gap between Chinese and overseas testing. Opening a global beta program would let users stress test on more devices across more markets, help root out region-specific bugs, and just generally improve OS stability at launch.

For now, internal testing confirms that HyperOS 3 is actively being developed for the Xiaomi 14 series. Users outside China are just left refreshing their feeds and waiting for any official word about the global beta or the final stable release. Until then, the anticipation continues.
