We were waiting for MIUI 15 before Xiaomi confirmed its next Android skin will answer HyperOS. The rollout started in China before rolling out to the international models.

However, we expect a new iteration of the Xiaomi HyperOS, and we could see it start seeding for eligible users soon.  We understand that Xiaomi is already working on HyperOS 1.5. It is probably a minor upgrade to improve stability and performance before the arrival of…

A new Android Auto update that brings it to V12.2 is currently rolling out. It is a staged rollout, meaning not everyone has received the update.
