For well over 13 years, MIUI has been there for Xiaomi smartphones, but now things are changing. After multiple rounds of rumors, the Xiaomi HyperOS will be replacing the MIUI. Xiaomi has announced a second batch of devices that will get the latest HyperOS update. The first batch had a mixture of all Redmi, Xiaomi, and Poco phones. Meanwhile, the second batch has a mix of Redmi, and Xiaomi phones and tablets totaling over 80 devices. In this article, let's dive into discussing the upcoming list of second-batch phones that will get the updates, and check whether your devices get the update or not if you have one.
As such, the HyperOS is here to support Xiaomi's wide range of products spanning over 200 different categories. Regarding the ubiquity of their new OS, Xiaomi's CEO — Lei Jun says that this new OS will take them closer to realizing their milestone of a “full ecology for people, cars, and homes”. Looking at the recent developments, it appears that HyperOS is walking in the footsteps of Hauwei's HarmonyOS.
Despite all the tightening measures, the bootloader isn't totally inaccessible — just difficult. Users will have to request permission through Xiaomi's community forum to unlock the bootloader. Similarly, there are additional China-specific restrictions such as reaching “level five” on Xiaomi community forums, time-sensitive unlock permissions, and limiting bootloader access to three devices in a year. It is unsure if these restrictions will be placed on HyperOS-powered Xiaomi devices in the rest of the world.
Xiaomi HyperOS Overview
What is Xiaomi HyperOS?
The Xiamoi HyperOS is a new operating system with a combination of an advanced Android base and Xiaomi's self-developed IoT (Internet of Things) platform — Vela. The company introduced this proprietary platform a few years ago, aiming to provide support for a wide range of smart devices, including smartwatches, speakers, home appliances, and even sensors.- You may also like:

What's new though?
Upon questioning whether it is a case of simple rebranding, Xiaomi officials clarified that HyperOS is written in a completely new architecture. Likewise, it is unclear if Xiaomi HyperOS will follow the annual Android version upgrade to keep the software up-to-date, like OxygenOS, One UI, or Funtouch OS.Whatever it might be, Xiaomi claims that the devices running on their OS can perform tasks faster than Android's native kernel. Furthermore, the HyperOS has a streamlined phone firmware, that is the smallest in the industry at just 8.75 GB. It also supports over 200 processor platforms while boasting minimal performance degradation over 50 months. Lastly, the Xiaomi HyperOS also improves the latency of WLAN while allowing multiple devices to network dynamically in real-time, and work together as a whole.No more custom ROMs — Is Xiaomi forgetting its roots?
Xiaomi phones have been widely regarded as one of the most customisable devices with easier access to the bootloader allowing for custom ROM installation, and advanced user operations. However, it appears Xiaomi is considering tightening the access to the bootloader.These rumours are based on the recently surfaced hidden “Bootloader Unlock Beta” option in Xiaomi Community China. Furthermore, unlocking the bootloader is turned off by default in the recently launched Xiaomi 14 series. We do not exactly know why Xiaomi is doing this. However, they previously cited security, data protection, and user experience as reasons for taking these measures. In addition, Xiaomi also said that users who unlocked their bootloader will not receive Xiaomi HyperOS updates. You can, however, regain updates by relocking your phone.Xiaomi HyperOS Availability
The HyperOS debuted with the Xiaomi 14 series in China only. However, now the entire globe will get to experience the highly awaited HyperOS. This operating system will run on Xiaomi, Redmi, as well as POCO phones. Furthermore, it will roll out in the first quarter of 2024.
