What To Expect from HyperOS 2.0?
Xiaomi has not revealed the changes we’ll see in HyperOS 2.0, but thanks to leaks, we already have some details. The new HyperOS version might allow users to detect hidden cameras using WLAN signals. If this is true, Xiaomi devices might have an edge in user privacy and personal safety over their competitors.
Some leaked screenshots have revealed that HyperOS 2.0 might get a redesigned Settings homepage. It could offer a card-like experience instead of the thin line-separated segments. Since Xiaomi has kept the same design for the Settings app for nearly a decade, this change would be much appreciated by Xiaomi fans.
The new Settings homepage in leaked images looks modern. It will not just provide better aesthetics but also ensure smoother navigation and fluency.
HyperOS 2.0 might allow up to 16GB of virtual memory, with the default being 6GB. Of course, not all Xiaomi devices can have 16GB of virtual RAM because of limited hardware. So, it’s likely coming to high-end phones with ample storage.
Xiaomi is also said to be working on allowing users to turn off the lock screen editor in HyperOS 2.0. For those uninitiated, the screen editor is activated when you long-press a blank space on the lock screen. Those who don’t like it will probably be able to switch it off via the Settings app in HyperOS 2.0.
Besides these changes, the upcoming HyperOS 2.0 is also expected to have smoother animations, better performance, and privacy. You can also expect to see new AI features as every other smartphone brand is working to bring the best of AI features, and Xiaomi wouldn’t want to miss out on that.
HyperOS 2.0 release is still a few weeks away. According to a recent leak, Xiaomi might start rolling it out to eligible devices in the second week of October. As you may already know, recent flagship devices will be the first to join the party, followed by midrange and budget devices.
