Step by step guide to installing HyperOS 3 on Xiaomi smartphones

Xiaomi has introduced HyperOS 3, the latest version of its operating system for devices in China, bringing notable improvements in speed, visuals, and usability. According to the company, the update makes everyday tasks smoother and more responsive, while adding an iPhone-inspired dynamic island feature for notifications.

Users looking to try HyperOS 3 can access the latest builds via HyperOSUpdates.com or through the MemeOS Enhancer app. This tool unlocks hidden system features, allows app updates, and provides screen-based update management options.
