Xiaomi has started rolling out a new update, we can call the HyperOS 1.5, for flagship smartphones. Why do we call this update HyperOS 1.5? Because Xiaomi is rolling out an important update that brings new features and improvements to many devices. This is actually an important indicator that Xiaomi is finished with HyperOS 1.0 and is preparing for HyperOS 2.0 to be introduced in the near future.

Xiaomi says goodbye to the “old couplet” and prepares for HyperOS 2.0

Xiaomi announced that it would say goodbye to “old boring changelogs” and improve HyperOS updates with new testing methods. Today, Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Redmi K60 Ultra received a surprising new HyperOS update. The new HyperOS update released had a very detailed changelog. This confirms Xiaomi’s previous announcement and shows that the first steps are being taken for HyperOS 2.0.

We refer to the new update as HyperOS 1.5. Xiaomi often adds long changelogs to important UI updates. This update for the 4 flagship smartphones also had a very detailed changelog. Considering the brand’s traditional update release policy, this update is actually HyperOS 1.5. Of course, Xiaomi does not specify that this update is HyperOS 1.5.
