By In a major stride away from its MIUI legacy, Xiaomi gears up for the HyperOS platform’s debut across its mobile lineup, marking a new chapter in its technology narrative.
A sneak peek into the upcoming version has already whetted the appetites of Xiaomi loyalists, teasing a glimpse of the exciting features awaiting users. After an initial rollout to key Xiaomi and Redmi models in December 2023, the roster of devices slated for the January 2024 HyperOS update has been unveiled. Here’s the comprehensive list:
- Xiaomi 13
- Xiaomi 13 Pro
- Xiaomi 13 Ultra
- Redmi Note 12
- Redmi Note 12S
- Xiaomi Pad 6
The selection notably spotlights Xiaomi’s premium and widely acclaimed devices, catering to markets across China and beyond. The inclusion of the Xiaomi 13 series, encompassing even the less widely launched Xiaomi 13 Ultra, signifies a strategic move. Moreover, the addition of the Redmi Note 12 and Xiaomi Pad 6 in the January 2024 update promises excitement for regions like India, where these products have made their mark.
However, uncertainty looms over whether upcoming Xiaomi releases in India will adopt the new HyperOS or continue with the existing MIUI interface. Similar to other brands adopting a dual-UI strategy, this ambiguity hints at a potential divergence in Xiaomi’s approach between markets supported and unsupported by Google.
Vivo, for instance, boasts OriginOS for its Chinese consumers while opting for Funtouch OS for its Indian clientele. Likewise, OnePlus has adhered to HydrogenOS for its Chinese market while retaining OxygenOS for devices sold in India and worldwide.
Simultaneously, Xiaomi primes for a significant splash in India with its early 2024 debut — the much-anticipated Redmi Note 13 series, spearheaded by the Redmi Note 13 Pro+. This launch signifies the company’s ongoing commitment to captivating its global audience with innovative offerings.
