Just as planned, Xiaomi has started rolling out the HyperOS update for the Mi 11 series – including the Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra.

The update carries the version number 1.0.2.0.UKACNXM, and weighs in at a hefty 5.3GB, so make sure you’re on stable Wi-Fi before diving in. Alongside, it also comes bundled with the latest April security patch for added protection.

Most importantly, the update brings Android 14 and not Android 13 which we were expecting for older flagships, along with Xiaomi’s all-new HyperOS skin.

It’s important to note that this isn’t a wider public release. Xiaomi is currently limiting the update to internal testers, which is likely to gauge performance and iron out any bugs before a larger user base gets access. 

Here’s the complete changelog of the Xiaomi HyperOS update for Mi 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Ultra (translated from Chinese):
