What to expect from HyperOS 2.0?

Xiaomi hasn’t revealed the changes we’ll see in HyperOS 2.0, but we already have some details thanks to leaks. A new version of HyperOS could allow users to detect hidden cameras using Wi-Fi signals. If true, Xiaomi devices could have an advantage over their rivals when it comes to user privacy and personal security.

Some leaked screenshots have shown that HyperOS 2.0 could feature a revamped main settings page. It could offer a card-like experience instead of thinly-lined sections. This change will be well-received by Xiaomi fans as Xiaomi has been keeping the same design of its Settings app for almost a decade now.

The new settings homepage looks modern in the leaked images. This will not only provide better aesthetics but also smoother navigation and fluidity.

HyperOS 2.0 can allow up to 16GB of virtual memory; the default value is 6GB. Of course, not all Xiaomi devices can boast 16GB of virtual RAM due to limited hardware. So, it will most likely appear on high-end phones with enough memory.

Xiaomi is also said to be working on allowing users to disable the lock screen editor in HyperOS 2.0. For those who don’t know, the screen editor will be activated when you long-press an empty space on the lock screen. Those who don’t like it will likely be able to turn the feature off via the Settings app in HyperOS 2.0.

In addition to these changes, the upcoming HyperOS 2.0 is expected to have smoother animations, better performance, and privacy. You can also expect new AI features as all other smartphone brands are working to provide the best AI features and Xiaomi would not want to miss out on these features.

HyperOS 2.0 is just a few weeks away from launch. According to a recent leak, Xiaomi could start rolling out the feature to eligible devices as early as the second week of October. As you know, the latest flagship devices will be the first to join the group, followed by mid-range and budget devices.
