Both Fonarena and tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore have shared images of their POCO F5 units receiving the HyperOS update. The update has a firmware number 1.0.5.0.UMRINXM. The file weighs 5GB in size which is quite large. Hence users are advised to download it over WiFi or a stable internet connection. The update changelog mentions that it also includes the December 2023 security patch.
