The full changelog is available in the screenshots below. It's huge, so we won't go into all of it here. But suffice to say, everything Xiaomi promised in its HyperOS 3 release is there. Expect a ton of performance enhancements, along with cleaner and more refined visuals, a redesigned home screen grid, a cleaner status bar design, unified rounded corners across the system (really), as well as comprehensive optimizations for built-in apps.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra HyperOS 3 update changelog

You can now mirror your screen content to an iPad, and open multiple phone apps simultaneously and adjust their window sizes on a Mac. You can also unlock your Xiaomi phone using Touch ID, Face ID, or your password on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Finally, advanced data protection now uses post-quantum encryption to keep personal data even more secure.

As always with software updates like these, it might take a few days for the rollout to reach every single device out there, so fret not if you haven't received the notification yet - it is on the way.
