    Xiaomi 14 Series First to Receive HyperOS 2 Update

    A leaked screenshot reveals Xiaomi 14 running on HyperOS 2.0.240703. Xiaomi initially introduced this device with HyperOS last year, and it is now undergoing tests with the HyperOS 2 operating system, suggesting an imminent release.

    Internal Testing in August

    HyperOS 2 is anticipated to be another successful custom skin from Xiaomi, built on Android. Since its debut, HyperOS has garnered considerable interest among Android users. According to industry insiders, HyperOS 2.0 will bring significant enhancements over its predecessor, addressing notable issues and introducing a range of exciting new features.

    The Xiaomi 14 series, Xiaomi's latest flagship, is expected to be the first to receive the HyperOS 2 update. Reports indicate that internal testing will commence in August.

    Upcoming Releases

    The Xiaomi 15 series, slated for a late October release, will come pre-installed with HyperOS 2. The global version of HyperOS 2 is anticipated to launch in late December or early next year. Besides the Xiaomi 14 series, the Redmi K80 series, and Poco F6 series are also among the first devices to receive this update.

    Although Xiaomi has yet to disclose specific improvements, the update is likely to enhance system functions, smoothen operations, and improve the overall user experience. Expectations are high for better system animations and the inclusion of some AI features.

    For those unfamiliar with Xiaomi’s HyperOS, it has a notably lighter footprint, occupying only 9.14 GB compared to the 12.53 GB required by a recent MIUI version. HyperOS also provides a simpler user interface, emphasizing a minimalist experience with its custom skin.

  • Xiaomi 14 Lite Certified by India’s BIS, Expected Launch Soon

    Xiaomi 14 Lite Certified by India’s BIS, Expected Launch Soon

    Recently, an upcoming Xiaomi phone, potentially the Xiaomi Civi 4, was approved by China's MIIT authority under the model number 24053PY09C. Speculations suggest that this device might be making its way to the Indian market with a rebranded name, Xiaomi 14 Lite.

    Xiaomi 14 Lite Receives BIS Certification

    An alleged Xiaomi 14 Lite device, identified by the model number 24053PY09I, has surfaced in India's BIS authority database. This model number closely resembles the CMIIT-certified 24053PY09C phone, believed to be the Xiaomi Civi 4. This hints at a possibility of a modified version of the Civi 4 targeting the Indian market.

    To recap, a revised Xiaomi Civi 2 was introduced globally as the Xiaomi 13 Lite. Therefore, it is conceivable that the Civi 4 may also undergo rebranding or modifications for its Indian release, potentially as the Xiaomi 14 Lite.

    Lite Series Expansion for India

    Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G in October 2021 but had not introduced a "Lite"-branded smartphone in the current year. While models like the Xiaomi 12 Lite and Xiaomi 13 Lite were launched in other regions, they were not brought to the Indian market. It seems that the company might be reintroducing a Lite-branded phone with the upcoming 14 series for Indian consumers.

    In terms of specifications, the Xiaomi Civi 4 is anticipated to sport a curved-edge OLED display boasting a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is likely to feature a dual front-facing camera setup with an LED flash and a 50-megapixel main camera on the back, engineered by Leica with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) support. The device is expected to house a 5,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging capabilities.
