Which Xiaomi devices will not experience HyperOS?
The world’s flagship phone owners can prepare for rollouts beginning early next year, with the newest models receiving priority. Xiaomi has unveiled its exciting HyperOS update, a stable release built on Android 14 for its top-of-the-line devices. However, there is a twist: not all Xiaomi devices will unlock the full spectrum of HyperOS features.
Xiaomi has decided to tailor the update based on different Android versions. Some lucky phones will jump straight to the Android 14-powered HyperOS, while others will receive a version tailored for Android 13.
The selected devices set to experience the Android 14-based HyperOS include Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2, 12X, Mi 11X, 11i / Hypercharge, Pad 5, Mi 10S, Redmi K40, Note 11 Pro 5G, Note 11 Pro+ 5G, Note 11 NFC, Redmi Note 11S, Redmi 10 / Prime, Redmi 10C / 10 Power, Poco X3 GT, Poco X4 Pro, Poco M4 Pro 5G, Poco M4 Pro 4G, Poco F4, Poco F3, and Poco F3 GT. This strategic approach ensures that users of specific devices will receive an optimized HyperOS experience tailored to the capabilities of their device and the Android version it operates on.
Xiaomi HyperOS global rollout in early 2024
Xiaomi recently began to roll out HyperOS 1.0, a stable update based on Android 14. This is a major software innovation step forward, bringing a plethora of new features and optimizations. While the initial release of HyperOS was restricted to five particular Xiaomi models in China, the global rollout is scheduled for mid-2024, with a primary focus on the newest flagship devices.
But not every Xiaomi device will go to HyperOS goodies. Xiaomi decided to divide the update according to Android versions, so some devices will get the Android 14-based HyperOS, while others will only get the Android 13 version. This separation is because some HyperOS features require the more sophisticated features that Android 14 brings.
These are the Xiaomi devices that will miss out on HyperOS

- Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2

Android13 was a challenge
Good news for owners of older Xiaomi devices: the company plans to release an update called HyperOS, which is based on Android 13, for these devices sometime in the second quarter of 2024. However, if your device receives this version, it will not have all the features that come with the full HyperOS package.
Nevertheless, while some devices will enjoy the full Android 14-based HyperOS experience, others will have to settle for a slightly scaled-down version. Despite the excitement surrounding the future of smartphone technology, not everyone will get to experience it in its entirety.
Hopefully, Xiaomi continues to push boundaries, ensuring that future updates are inclusive, bringing innovation to all corners of their extensive user base. Fans of Xiaomi are eagerly awaiting the HyperOS update, but the split based on Android versions adds some complexity to the situation.
