Today, there is good news for POCO X8 Pro Max users. The HyperOS 3.1 update has started rolling out in India for this device. It is reaching the early users as Mi Pilot Release. For those using this phone, this update brings many minor and major improvements – especially in the camera and recorder apps.
POCO X8 Pro Max HyperOS 3.1 Update Details
The version of the update is OS3.0.301.0.WPLINXM (HyperOS 3.1). It is based on Android 16. The file size is around 1.5 GB and the security patch level is May 2026. The update is being released in India in phases starting from May 20, 2026.
What’s New in This Update
The most exciting part is the new support for Xiaomi Super Island. It now works directly with the File Management app and shows the real-time progress of Super Document processing. Transport cards and access cards can be swiped from the lock screen.
You will see some improvements in the Camera app. In professional video mode, you can now download the “Mi-LOG to Rec.709” LUT file with one click. A preset management page has been added, from which batch import-export is possible. As a result, shooting professional videos has become easier than ever.
Now, automatic summaries are generated inside the recording, and intelligent Q&A can be done about that recording with the help of Super Xiao Ai. Problems that occurred with long recordings or duplicate recordings have also been fixed.
In addition, more traditional festivals and memorable days have been added to Calendar. Family Guardian has a new “Elderly Care” page, where you can set font size, icons, ringtone volume, and scam call blocking in one place. Xiaomi Phone Transfer can also migrate more data (including system app settings).
Security & Privacy has also been improved, as you can see the latest security patch updates. Auto password saving, smart filling, and end-to-end encryption support have been added.
How to install?
The update is now released for Mi Pilot users, so it will take a few days for everyone to receive the update. If you don’t get a notification, check manually in Settings > About Phone > Software Update. Before installing, be sure to take a full backup and charge it on stable Wi-Fi. After the update, the phone may heat up for a while and optimization will take place – this is normal.
Overall, this HyperOS 3.1 update will make the POCO X8 Pro Max smoother and more productive. It will be especially useful for those who use the camera and recording a lot.
