Xiaomi has now given HyperOS update to older phones like Redmi K40, Xiaomi 12X and Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G. However, Xiaomi still sticks to its MIUI tradition, where the software is tied to different Android versions. These phones are getting the update with the older Android 13 and not the latest Android 14. This way, users can still enjoy the great features of HyperOS and keep up with what other companies are doing in the tech world.
What is Cool and what is Not?
So, HyperOS was supposed to be a brand new thing for Xiaomi’s software. But surprise, surprise – it’s still pretty much like MIUI, which isn’t a bad thing, but it’s a little unexpected. Here’s the twist: The update for these older phones is based on the latest Android 13 instead of the latest Android 14.
Some people are saying that Xiaomi could have done better, especially when other companies are doing some really great things with their software. But here’s the thing – Xiaomi never promised three Android updates to these old phones, so technically, they’re not breaking any promises.
Good News for Some Phones
If you have a Redmi K40, Poco F3, Mi 11X, Xiaomi 12X, or Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G (which is the same as the Redmi Note 10 Pro), guess what? You are getting a HyperOS update.
Wrapping it Up
So, Xiaomi is giving a taste of the new HyperOS by keeping some old things in the old phone and surprising everyone. Whether this is a good move or not, only time will tell. But hey, if you have one of these old phones, get ready for something new!
