What is HyperOS 2.1 and why you’ll want to update your Xiaomi phone
HyperOS 2 has arrived to change how you use your Xiaomi phone. This new update brings improvements to animations, new features, and makes your device faster. Now, several REDMI and POCO models can already receive this update, which also brings Android 15 to some devices.

How do Xiaomi updates work?
Before we talk about the devices, it’s important to understand how Xiaomi releases its updates. There are three main phases:
- Test version: Only a small group of people who have enrolled in the testing program can update.
- Partial release: Some users start receiving the update via OTA (over the air). In this phase, you can already force the manual update if you don’t want to wait.
- Public release: All users receive the update normally.
When an update is in “partial release,” you can wait up to 48 hours to receive it automatically or you can download and install it manually.
