For months, we have been speculating about Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0, its features, and its release date. Now we have an official word on when the next version of the company’s Android skin will be official, and it is sooner than expected.
On Thursday, Xiaomi’s Founder and CEO Lei Junshared a teaserfor HyperOS 2.0 on X. This was followed up byanother post. Here he mentioned, he will be live tweeting about HyperOS 2.0 along with the production version of their new EV,Xiaomi SU7 UltraonOctober 29at 7PM CST.
This means HyperOS 2.0 will launch on the same date as theXiaomi 15, the company’s next flagship phone. This will be the first of thephones running Snapdragon 8 Eliteprocessor. We’ll also get to see the launch of other devices like theXiaomi Pad 7series and theWatch S4.
As for the HyperOS itself, Lei Jun’s post tells us that it will have an improved HyperConnect framework withsystem-level AIcapabilities that will power its HyperAI. Other than that, we only know a few things about the upcoming version such as it will be based on Android 15, have smoother animations,iOS style recent menu, andAI image editingfeatures.
While we are not expecting any major changes to HyperOS 2.0 in the first place, given it already received a major facelift in the last version. But it will be bringing minor design changes and improvements to the current functions along with a bunch of AI features, as is the trend this year. I talked about a wishlist ofwhat I want to see in HyperOS 2.0, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed, hoping some of those features do come to reality.
