It’s Here! HyperOS 2.1 and 2.0 Finally Arrive for Redmi and Poco Smartphones
The moment millions of users have been waiting for has finally arrived! HyperOS 2.1 is being officially released for dozens of Redmi and Poco smartphone and tablet models. This is one of the biggest updates of the year and could completely transform your device experience.
Xiaomi’s new system version has already begun rolling out to more than 40 different models worldwide. This means you could be among the first lucky users to receive this revolutionary update that promises to make your phone faster, more secure, and smarter.
What is HyperOS and Why This Update Changes Everything
HyperOS is the operating system created by Xiaomi to replace the old MIUI. Think of it as your phone’s “brain” – it’s what makes everything work faster and more intelligently.
When we talk about HyperOS 2.1, we’re talking about a much more modern and efficient version. It’s like replacing your car’s engine with a more powerful and economical one. Your phone will be faster, use less battery, and have new features that will make your daily life much easier.
This update is especially important because it brings the most recent security fixes, including the latest patches, ensuring your device is protected against the most current threats. Imagine your phone is like a house – these fixes are like upgrading to more secure locks, better protecting your personal information, photos, and messages.
Additionally, the system has become much more accessible for people with different needs. If you wear glasses or have difficulty reading small text, the improvements will make a huge difference in your daily usage.
Which Phones and Tablets Are Already Receiving Updates
The list of included devices is impressive and includes some of the most popular models in Brazil and worldwide. Let’s organize by brands to make it easier to understand:
Redmi Smartphones Updated to HyperOS 2.0
The Redmi Note 12 Pro is among the first to receive the update in various regions worldwide. This model, very popular in Brazil, can already be manually updated by more experienced users.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro has also entered the list, receiving important performance and battery improvements. The Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G, one of the most recent launches, has also been included with all the system’s new features.
Other models from the Redmi Note family receiving updates:
- Redmi Note 12 5G
- Redmi Note 12S
- Redmi Note 13 5G
- Redmi Note 12 NFC
Poco Line in the Spotlight
Poco F6 users have plenty of reasons to celebrate. This device, known for its excellent price-performance ratio, is receiving HyperOS 2.1 in practically all global regions.
The Poco F7 Pro, the line’s most advanced model, has also been included in the update. For those with the Poco C75, the good news is that the model is receiving both HyperOS 1.0 and 2.0, depending on your region.
Xiaomi Pad Tablets Weren’t Left Out
The Xiaomi Pad family received very special attention in this update round. The Xiaomi Pad 6 received updates in all regions – Europe, Russia, India, Indonesia, and Taiwan.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro are also being updated, ensuring users of these tablets have access to the system’s latest functionalities.
How the Update Release System Works
It’s very important to understand that there are three phases for updates to reach your phone:
First Phase – Internal Testing: Updates are tested with a very small group of users and company employees. It’s like a “dress rehearsal” before the official launch.
Second Phase – Partial Release: The update is released to more people, but not yet to all users. This is exactly the phase we’re in now with HyperOS 2.1 and 2.0.
Third Phase – Complete Release: All users of the model receive the update automatically through their phone, without needing to do anything.
Currently, most devices are in the partial release phase. This means you might not receive the automatic notification yet, but you can try searching manually in your device settings.
Key HyperOS 2.1 Improvements That Will Change Your Daily Life
Better Accessibility for Everyone
The system now works much better for people with different special needs. For example, those who use TalkBack (a tool that “speaks” what’s on the screen) will have a much more fluid and natural experience.
Large fonts have been completely optimized, making reading much easier for those with visual difficulties. It’s like having reading glasses integrated directly into your phone.
Fundamental Security Fixes
The update brings the most recent security patches, including the latest fixes, ensuring the most advanced protections available in the market. This is essential to keep your personal data, photos, conversations, and banking information protected against virtual threats.
Smarter and More Responsive Interface
The system has become much smarter at understanding when you actually want to activate the virtual assistant. Before, it was sometimes activated accidentally when you held the phone – now this happens much less.
Animations have become smoother and more beautiful. Every time you open an app or navigate between screens, everything becomes more fluid and pleasant to use.
The Near Future: HyperOS 2.2 and What’s Coming Next
The launch of HyperOS 2.1 is just one chapter in the continuous evolution of Xiaomi’s operating system. For users who like to stay ahead of the news, it’s important to know that the update journey doesn’t stop here.
Xiaomi is already working intensively on HyperOS 2.2, with releases that promise even more optimizations and fluidity improvements. The system will include a Poco Launcher 2.2 that ensures a smoother and more responsive user experience.
More than 76 different devices are already being tested with HyperOS 2.2, including models up to 3 years old. This shows Xiaomi’s commitment to keeping their devices always updated, even the older ones.
Preparing the Way for Android 16
Xiaomi’s ambition goes far beyond the 2.x versions of HyperOS. The future already points to HyperOS 2.3, which will bring complete integration with Android 16.
This transition to a new Android base not only guarantees Google’s latest innovations but also opens doors for even deeper customization and advanced functionalities. It will be a significant leap in how we interact with our devices.
How to Check if Your Phone Has an Available Update Right Now
The process is very simple and you can do it right now while reading this article:
- Open your phone’s “Settings”
- Look for “About phone” or “System”
- Tap on “System update”
- Wait for the phone to check if updates are available
If an update notification appears, it means your device has been selected to receive HyperOS 2.1 or 2.0. Make sure you have sufficient battery (at least 50%) and a stable Wi-Fi connection before starting the process.
Important Tips for a Problem-Free Update
Always connect the charger during the update. Even if the battery is at 50%, it’s safer to keep the phone charging throughout the entire process.
Always use Wi-Fi connection to download updates. They are large (usually more than 1GB) and can consume a lot of your mobile data plan, resulting in high bills.
Close all apps before starting. This frees up memory and makes the process faster and more stable.
What to Do if Your Phone Hasn’t Received the Update Yet
Stay calm and patient! If your device hasn’t received the update yet, this is completely normal. Companies do this gradually to ensure everything works perfectly for all users.
Some models are still receiving older versions of the system (like HyperOS 1.0) before jumping directly to 2.1. It’s like climbing stairs – sometimes you need to go through all the steps to reach the top.
Xiaomi has until the end of June 2025 to make updates available for all compatible devices. So, if you have a Redmi Note 12 Pro or Poco X5, for example, your update is still coming in the next few weeks.
Essential Care Before Updating Your Device
Back Up Your Data
Always make a backup of your important data before any major update. It’s like making copies of important documents from your house before a major renovation.
You can use Google Drive, iCloud, or even a USB drive connected to your phone to save your photos, contacts, and most important documents.
Prepare Your Device
Make sure your phone has at least 50% battery. Updates can take a long time and power interruptions can cause serious system problems.
Free up at least 5GB of storage space. Delete old photos, videos you don’t use anymore, or apps you haven’t opened in months.
Differences Between Regions and How This Affects You
It’s interesting and important to note that the same update can arrive at different times depending on your geographical region. For example, users in Russia might receive it before users in India, or vice versa.
This happens because Xiaomi tests updates region by region, ensuring they work perfectly with the local specificities of each market, including languages, carriers, and regulations.
In Brazil, we generally receive updates from the “global region” or “MI region,” which are usually more stable and well-tested before reaching our devices.
