Xiaomi introduced HyperOS in mid-2023 as the evolution of the operating system used by your mobile devices. HyperOS is the platform with which the company replaces MIUI and unifies its entire product ecosystem, including mobile phones, wearables and cars.
HyperOS 2.0 will be the first major update to the operating system, It is based on Android 15 and includes significant changes in the interface and new functions, but unfortunately not all of the company’s phones will have this update: Xiaomi has already confirmed six models that will not receive it.
These six Xiaomi phones won’t get HyperOS 2.0
The update to HyperOS 2.0 will reach recent phones and tablets such as the Xiaomi 14, Redmi Note 13 Pro, and POCO M6 Pro, among others. However, some older phones will not be part of this updateespecially if, in addition to having arrived on the market several years ago, they also have more limited hardware.
Xiaomi has added more models to its list of products that have reached the end of their life cycle. These devices will not receive any further operating system updates, including the new version of HyperOS. If your smartphone is on this list, it will no longer receive software updates:
The list includes one of the company’s most popular mid-range models in 2022, the POCO F3. This mobile has already reached the end of its update cycle.
This does not mean that the models that are part of this list will no longer work, however, they will not receive new versions of the operating system and will soon stop receiving security updates. Over time, this also means that they will not be able to receive app updates, but for that, it will take several years until the apps are no longer compatible with the first version of HyperOS based on Android 14 or Android 13, depending on the device.
Regarding the launch of HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15, the update is estimated to reach compatible devices later this year.
