Redmi 12C Receives HyperOS Update
Xiaomi has begun rolling out its latest HyperOS to compatible devices in global markets. However, the rollout has been slow, with only the Xiaomi 13 Pro and 13T Pro receiving the update in the Indian and European regions. Surprisingly, a budget Redmi smartphone, the Redmi 12C, is reportedly also receiving the HyperOS update.
A user on the X (formerly Twitter) platform shared a screenshot of the Redmi 12C receiving the HyperOS update. This news is surprising as budget devices usually receive updates after other phones in Xiaomi's portfolio. It's important to note that the update may be rolling out in phases, so it may take some time to arrive on all devices. Additionally, it is recommended to download the update over WiFi due to its large file size.
The HyperOS update on the Redmi 12C comes with firmware version 1.0.2.0.UCVINXM and weighs 4GB in size. This update also includes the January 2024 security patch. The changelog reveals similar information to the HyperOS update on the Xiaomi 13 phones that was released earlier this month. Some notable changes include new animations for more intuitive interactions, a redesigned weather app for a more sensory experience, streamlined notifications focusing on important information, and a new system font supporting multiple writing systems.
HyperOS is a lightweight operating system developed by Xiaomi that relies on Linux and Xiaomi's self-developed Vela system. It offers a range of features that can be explored in detail. Additionally, it has been confirmed that the Xiaomi Pad 6 will also receive the new OS later this month.
