Xiaomi HyperOS Will See a Release in India on February 29

Xiaomi announced that the HyperOS interface will arrive in India last month. Now the company has revealed a launch date. Ahead of the much-awaited introduction of the Xiaomi 14 model in the country, the company’s new HyperOS skin will be unveiled. Recently, the company confirmed a list of devices that will get the HyperOS update in H1 2024. Xiaomi had also previously confirmed the models that would first receive the stable version of the update in India. However, Xiaomi 14 will still be the first phone from the company in the country to ship with this user interface.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Xiaomi India announced that the company’s new HyperOS will be unveiled in the country on February 29 at 12pm. This is a few days ahead of the Xiaomi 14 India launch, and it runs HyperOS out-of-the-box.

Notably, the company has previously confirmed that the Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 6 will be the first in India to receive the HyperOS update. Both phones ship with Android 13-based MIUI skin.

Recently, Xiaomi revealed that the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13T, Xiaomi 12 as well as the Xiaomi 12T series will get a stable update of HyperOS by June this year. Even Redmi Note 13 5G and the Redmi Note 12 5G lineup are confirmed to get this update by H1 2024.

Meanwhile, the HyperOS-running Xiaomi 14 will launch in India on March 7. Like its global and Chinese counterparts, the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC paired with 12GB of RAM. It is backed by a 4,610mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. 

The Indian variant of the Xiaomi 14 is expected to feature a 6.36-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera unit, and a 32-megapixel front camera. It is confirmed to be sold in the country via Amazon and it will come in black, green, and white colour options.

Xiaomi to Launch MiOS as Replacement for 13-Year-Old MIUI Android Skin, Tipster Claims

Xiaomi is tipped to replace its MIUI Android skin with a new interface. Thirteen years after the Chinese smartphone maker launched the first version of MIUI for its smartphones, a tipster has claimed that the company will announce a successor called MiOS. The latest version of the skin available for eligible smartphones is MIUI 14. It is currently unclear whether MiOS will be a new Android-based operating system like Huawei’s HarmonyOS, or whether it will be an Android skin like MIUI, OxygenOS, ColorOS and Funtouch OS.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) claims in a Weibo post that Xiaomi has decided that MIUI 14 will be the “last official major version” of MIUI. The tipster goes on to state that the only shortcoming of the smartphone maker’s popular Android skin were the animation effects. Xiaomi first introduced MIUI in August 2010 and the company has released 14 major versions of the operating system so far.

The Chinese smartphone maker has not announced any plans for a new operating system so far, but back in August, tipster Ice Universe (X: @UniverseIce) posted a screenshot stating that the “mios.cn” domain and MiOS trademark was issued to Xiaomi. At the time, Ice Universe has speculated that Xiaomi’s “highly customized self-developed operating system” could be on the way.

However, it is currently unclear whether Xiaomi plans to launch its own “standalone” operating system based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) — just like Huawei did with the release of HarmonyOS — or whether the purported MiOS will be released as a software layer on top of Google’s Android that is offered to manufacturers along with Google’s services.

Even if MiOS is a redesigned version of Xiaomi’s Android skin for its smartphones, the refreshed branding could help the company shed the perception that its MIUI skin features advertisements — Xiaomi’s skin has not displayed advertisements or promotions for several years, but some customers still associate the software with ads.  

Xiaomi released MIUI 14 in December last year and the company also supports previously launched devices that are running on the older MIUI 13 version but still receiving security updates. MIUI 14 dropped support for smartphones running on Android 11, while introducing small refinements to the interface and a Photon Engine that was claimed to offer improved performance compared to previous versions of MIUI.
