Xiaomi is preparing for the release of HyperOS 2.0 (Pengpai OS 2.0), which is expected to be released in October. Mi fans are eagerly waiting for this update, but not every device will get it.

Xiaomi has not yet revealed what changes will be coming to HyperOS 2.0, but according to leaks, the new version of HyperOS may allow users to detect hidden cameras using WLAN signals. If this is true, Xiaomi devices may have an advantage over competitors in terms of user privacy and personal security.
Some leaked screenshots show that HyperOS 2.0 may redesign the settings home page. It may provide a card-like experience instead of being divided by thin lines. This change is expected to be warmly welcomed by Xiaomi fans.
The new Settings homepage in the leaked images looks modern. It not only offers better aesthetics but also ensures smoother navigation and fluidity.
HyperOS 2.0 may allow up to 16GB of virtual memory, up from 6GB by default. Of course, not all Xiaomi devices will be able to have 16GB of virtual RAM due to hardware limitations. Therefore, it will most likely appear on high-end phones with ample storage space.
Xiaomi is also said to be working on letting users turn off the lock screen editor in HyperOS 2.0. For those who are not familiar, long pressing on an empty space on the lock screen activates the screen editor. Users who don’t like it can probably turn it off through 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 to see new AI features.
The release of HyperOS 2.0 is still a few weeks away. According to recent leaks, Xiaomi may start rolling out the version to eligible devices in the second week of October. Recent flagship models will be the first to support the version, followed by mid-range and budget devices.
