Security-Focused Enhancements
The December 2025 patch prioritizes closing vulnerabilities at the system and framework level. Several of the addressed issues were classified as high-risk, including exploits that could allow malicious software to interfere with lock-screen behavior or gain unauthorized access to sensitive files.
To counter these threats, Xiaomi has improved permission enforcement, refined background execution limits, and enhanced internal security controls within HyperOS. These changes provide stronger protection against modern Android malware without introducing noticeable performance slowdowns.
Update Rollout and User Guidance
Because the update is being delivered gradually, some users may not see it immediately. Once available, it can be installed through the standard HyperOS OTA updater.
Xiaomi also advises users to regularly update built-in system applications, as many security improvements depend on coordinated updates between the operating system and core services
