Xiaomi Starts Testing HyperOS 2.0, Its Latest Custom Android Interface
In a move that is sure to excite its fan base, Xiaomi has been spotted testing the next iteration of its custom Android interface, HyperOS 2.0. The company released HyperOS in October last year alongside the Xiaomi 14 series as a replacement for its MIUI skin. Now, HyperOS 2.0 is being tested on a limited number of devices, including the upcoming Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.
According to GizmoChina, internal builds of HyperOS 2.0 have been discovered on several Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones, with firmware versions ranging from OS2.0.0.16 to OS2.0.1.5. The publication also shared an image of the testing version installed on a Xiaomi handset.
While Xiaomi has yet to announce a release date for HyperOS 2.0, which is based on Android 15, the report claims that the update will initially roll out to devices such as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi Mix Fold, Xiaomi Mix Flip, Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro, and Xiaomi Civi 2. Internal testing has also started for other devices, including the Redmi K70, Redmi K70 Pro, Redmi K70 Ultra, Redmi K60, Redmi K70E, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 13R.
HyperOS 2.0 is expected to bring several new features and AI-powered functionality to Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices. The update is expected to include a revamped Game Turbo mode with personalisation options, as well as optimisation tools for enhancing gaming performance. It is also likely to support the detection of hidden cameras through wireless local-area network (WLAN) searches.
Xiaomi plans to unveil HyperOS 2.0 later this month in China, after the original HyperOS was first launched in China in October 2023. The update is expected to arrive on the Xiaomi 14 series, with updates released in India earlier this year.
With HyperOS 2.0, Xiaomi is poised to deliver an even more seamless and intuitive user experience to its customers. The company is known for its innovative approach to software development, and HyperOS 2.0 is likely to further solidify its position in the competitive smartphone market.
