Devices That May Miss Out on HyperOS
While there is excitement and anticipation surrounding the HyperOS update, it’s essential to recognize that not all devices will receive this update. Xiaomi has made it clear that certain devices will not be included in the update rollout, citing compatibility and other factors as the reasons. Here’s a list of devices that might not receive the HyperOS update:
Redmi K30 Series
The Redmi K30 series, encompassing Redmi K30, Redmi K30 5G, Redmi K30 Racing, Redmi K30i, and variants like Mi 10T, Pro, and POCO F2 Pro, is unlikely to be part of the HyperOS update. While Xiaomi has officially mentioned their exclusion, it’s a combination of hardware constraints and strategic decisions that suggest these devices may not receive the update. Users of these devices should prepare for the possibility of not receiving the latest MIUI update, which could limit their access to new features and improvements.
Redmi Note 9 Series
The Redmi Note 9 series, including Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 9 5G, Redmi Note 9T, Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, and Redmi Note 9S, is not expected to receive the HyperOS update. Although the exact reasons for their exclusion are not specified, it’s likely that factors such as hardware capabilities and performance limitations play a role. Unfortunately, users of these devices may have to continue using the current MIUI version and will not be able to enjoy the enhancements and optimizations brought by HyperOS.
Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X 5G
The Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X 5G are also unlikely to receive the HyperOS update. Various factors, such as hardware limitations or strategic decisions made by Xiaomi, may contribute to their exclusion from the HyperOS rollout. While it’s disappointing for users of these devices, they should be aware that they may not have access to the new features and improvements introduced in HyperOS.
Redmi 9 Series
Regrettably, the Redmi 9 series, consisting of Redmi 9, Redmi 9C, Redmi 9A, Redmi 9 Prime, Redmi 9i, Redmi 9 Power, and Redmi 9T, will not receive the HyperOS update. Xiaomi has decided to exclude these devices from the update rollout, potentially due to hardware limitations or strategic considerations. Users of these devices may need to continue using the current MIUI version, missing out on the new features and optimizations offered by HyperOS.
POCO M2, POCO M2 Pro, POCO M3, and POCO X2
The likelihood of the POCO M2, POCO M2 Pro, POCO M3, and POCO X2 receiving the HyperOS update is low. While Xiaomi has not officially confirmed their exclusion, factors such as hardware capabilities and performance considerations may influence this decision. It is unfortunate for users of these devices, as they may not have the opportunity to experience the latest features and enhancements introduced in HyperOS. One of the primary reasons is the outdated System-on-a-Chip (SoC) in these devices.
POCO X3 and POCO X3 NFC
Surprisingly, even though the Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Mi 11 Lite use the same processor as the POCO X3, the POCO X3 series will not receive the HyperOS update.
Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Lite
These popular mid-range devices from Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi, are strong candidates for the HyperOS update. However, they did not even receive the Android 13 update, leaving users uncertain about their prospects for HyperOS.
Redmi A1, POCO C40, and POCO C50
The Redmi A1, POCO C40, and POCO C50, being budget devices with dedicated fan bases, have generated speculation regarding their potential to receive the HyperOS update. However, it’s worth noting that these devices didn’t even receive the MIUI 14 update. This raises doubts about their chances for HyperOS. An important factor contributing to the uncertainty is the devices old and outdated System-on-Chip (SoC). This aging hardware may pose limitations in terms of performance and compatibility with the latest MIUI updates, making it less likely for users of these devices to benefit from the latest features and improvements introduced in the upcoming update.
Conclusion
The HyperOS update is generating considerable excitement among Xiaomi users, but there is still a shroud of uncertainty surrounding the devices that will receive this update. Xiaomi has not officially confirmed the list of compatible devices and the decision is influenced by several factors, including hardware capabilities, performance considerations, and user demand.
As the launch of HyperOS nears, Xiaomi is expected to make an official statement regarding device compatibility and provide much-needed clarity to its customer base. Users of devices that will not receive the update should be prepared for the possibility of missing out on new features and improvements offered in HyperOS. While the anticipation is palpable, Xiaomi’s final word will be the ultimate determinant of the devices that will benefit from the HyperOS experience.
