Xiaomi recently announced its new user interface, the HyperOS. The aim was to address the existing issues of MIUI and to replace it. The HyperOS was meant to give Xiaomi’s software a new identity. While the first version of it was great, it has some same issues that were prominent on the MIUI as well. As a result, a lot of users expressed dissatisfaction with the product.
However, the story doesn’t end here. Xiaomi is working on the successor of HyperOS 1.0, the HyperOS 2.0. The craze of HyperOS 2.0 has started to build up on the internet. It’s been reported that HyperOS 2.0 is already out for testing on some selected devices. This confirms that we are not too far from the official arrival of it now. But before that, here’s our detailed post about it that discusses everything from expected launch dates to features in a single go. Keep reading until the end!
HyperOS 2.0 Release Date
As per reports, the test build of HyperOS 2.0 is already out for some selected Xiaomi devices such as Xiaomi 14 Pro. The testing phase will take some time as it is meant to eliminate all the “raw” defects present in the build. But given that testing has already started, we can say that we are not too far from the official release now. Xiaomi may announce the HyperOS 2.0 officially along with the Xiaomi 15 series, that scheduled to launch in Q4 of 2024.
Update: A tipster on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo has now claimed that HyperOS 2.0 will be officially announced on the first anniversary of HyperOS 1. To give you a reference, HyperOS 1.0 was launched back in October 2023, alongside the Xiaomi 13 series. It’s first anniversary will be held on October this year; therefore, we can expect both the Xiaomi 15 series and HyperOS 2.0 to be announced in the same month only.
Soon after that, beta testing will be carried out for all the eligible devices. The broader rollout is expected to happen throughout 2025. A specific timeline for the release of HyperOS 2.0 is still undercover. So take the information with a pinch of salt. Xiaomi won’t delay the release and that’s more or less confirmed.
