Xiaomi officially starts testing Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0

Xiaomi has officially started testing HyperOS 2.0. New information spotted by the XiaomiTime team shows that HyperOS 2.0 is officially being tested. There have been some leaks about HyperOS 2.0 for a few weeks. But we weren’t sure if they were true. Now, the XiaomiTime team has found important information confirming that HyperOS 2.0 is officially being tested. We will now announce this important information. HyperOS 2.0 will be officially introduced in October.

Xiaomi officially starts work on HyperOS 2.0

Xiaomi has officially accelerated work on HyperOS 2.0. A new extension called [OSBigversion] has been discovered on the Xiaomi OTA server. This new extension specifies HyperOS versions. For example, if you are using HyperOS 1.0, this extension will be shown as [OSBigversion] => 1.0. Or, say you’re using HyperOS 2.0, this extension will be shown as [OSBigversion] => 2.0.

Previously there was no OSBigversion extension, instead, there was a [Bigversion] extension for major MIUI versions. This Bigversion extension specified the major MIUI versions. For example, if you were using MIUI 14, it would show up as “[bigversion] => 14”. Xiaomi has been using this type of extension for years. Now we see that a special “OSBigversion” extension is used for HyperOS.

This extension is added to the OTA server to differentiate between new HyperOS versions. With the new extension, new HyperOS versions will arrive safely on your device without any problems. This indicates that the HyperOS 2.0 development has officially started.

Also, HyperOS versions have build numbers starting with V816. MIUI was first released on 16.8.2010. Therefore, Xiaomi has set the build number to V816. Actually, there are different situations related to this build number.

Before HyperOS 1.0 was released, this new version had build number V15. This indicates that HyperOS 1.0 is a rebranded MIUI 15. Some people were speculating that Xiaomi was making a new operating system. But this is not true. At the moment you don’t even know that you are using MIUI 15.

HyperOS 2.0 is expected to be announced with the Xiaomi 15 series in October. Xiaomi usually announces a new user interface with a big launch and gradually starts to release the new update. All we have to do now is to wait patiently for HyperOS 2.0.
