Xiaomi is introducing a significant update, referred to as HyperOS 1.5, for its flagship smartphones. This update brings new features and enhancements to several devices, marking the completion of HyperOS 1.0 and paving the way for HyperOS 2.0.
Xiaomi Bids Farewell to Old Changelogs
Xiaomi has declared its departure from “old boring changelogs” and is enhancing HyperOS updates with innovative testing methods.

This aligns with Xiaomi’s previous announcement and indicates the initial steps towards HyperOS 2.0.
The update, which we refer to as HyperOS 1.5, includes a very detailed changelog for the four flagship smartphones. Given Xiaomi’s typical update release policy, this update is essentially HyperOS 1.5, even though Xiaomi hasn’t officially labeled it as such.
