Since official release dates for a number of flagship models have been revealed, brand fans who have been eagerly awaiting the debut of HyperOS 2.2 can now relax. This significant upgrade adds new AI functions, interface adjustments, and other performance enhancements to Xiaomi’s premium lineup. The information was taken directly from the Xiaomi community forums, where an odd story about how community input influenced the rollout was told. This is one of the most well-planned rollouts the company has ever witnessed, with multiple device series distributing the update around one another.
Schedule updated
The timelines for HyperOS 2.2 have been confirmed for three significant device families:
- REDMI K80 Series: May 12th, Monday
- REDMI K70 Series: May 13th, Tuesday
- Xiaomi 13 Series: Thursday, May 15th
According to DaWangLe, a reliable source from the Xiaomi community, the first goal was to highlight the K80 and K70 series. However, the company changed its approach and eventually released upgrades for all three device lines consecutively as a result of enthusiastic voting and feedback from Xiaomi 13 consumers.
These first 200 beta versions have undergone an exceptionally rigorous testing procedure that has required additional time and resources. In order to synchronize with internal testing and have the updates ready for public release, the Xiaomi team reportedly worked through the weekend.
Beta recruitment
For customers willing to use the new update, the process will function as:
- REDMI K80/Pro users can begin applying for beta recruitment from next Monday
- Upon approval, the selected individuals will get the update immediately Redmi K70/Pro consumers will have direct availability from Tuesday
- The owners of the Xiaomi 13 series will get their update this Thursday
It’s worth noting that these update dates are applicable only to devices in China. Schedules for international rollouts have not yet been released but are usually several weeks behind the China release.
Update available for more devices
Besides the principal release timeline, two additional flagship devices already have update bundles in place:
- Xiaomi 15 Ultra: HyperOS 2.0.201.0.VOACNXM
- Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4: HyperOS 2.0.201.0.VNXCNXM
These models are slated to become part of the update lineup soon, although there are no confirmed release dates.
