Xiaomi’s HyperOS update coming to more devices: check out the eligible phones
HyperOS — Xiaomi’s new skin for Android smartphones — has been rolling out to several eligible smartphone models since the update was rolled out in the country in late February. The company has now announced the next phase of the HyperOS update for eligible Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones and tablets in the country. The Chinese smartphone maker’s new handsets, smart home devices and electric vehicles — such as the new Xiaomi SU7 — are all expected to run on HyperOS.
The company shared its HyperOS rollout plan for Q2 2024 via a message on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday. The list of eligible smartphones includes the Xiaomi 11 Lite, Xiaomi 11i, Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge, Xiaomi 11T Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 10, Redmi K50i, Redmi 12, Redmi 11 Prime, along with the Redmi 13C series and Redmi Note 11 series. The Xiaomi Pad 5 will also get the HyperOS update, the company said.
When the HyperOS update arrives for these Xiaomi and Redmi devices, users should see improvements in system performance, task switching, and message delivery. Meanwhile, the amount of inbuilt storage occupied by the system has also been reduced, the company says. Even tasks like downloading and installing over-the-air (OTA) updates should take up less space and complete much faster than MIUI 14.
You also get access to lock screen customizations after updating to HyperOS, while the Control Center, icons and fonts have been revamped. New productivity features include a Workstation Mode (for tablets) and interconnectivity features, including the ability to view your phone’s screen through your tablet. The Xiaomi Smart Hub lets you view and control individual smart home devices.
The company said that it has already rolled out the HyperOS update to the Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 12 Pro, the Redmi Note 12 and Redmi Note 13 series smartphones, along with other Redmi phones. Both the Xiaomi Pad 6 and the Redmi Pad have also been updated by the company. More handsets and tablets are expected to get the HyperOS update later this year.
