Xiaomi Redmi 12 is receiving its second Android OS upgrade in eight months. The Android 14-based HyperOS update arrived early this year, and with the HyperOS 2 now available, the device has started getting the much-anticipated upgrade which brings Android 15.
The Redmi 12 arrived in June 2023, running Android 13. In April 2024, Xiaomi upgraded the OS version to Android 14 with a stable HyperOS 1 update. As expected, the Chinese company has started rolling out the Redmi 12 Android 15-based HyperOS 2 update. It is a global release limited to a few users for preview.
Xiaomi is rolling out the upgrade with a build version OS2.0.3.0. VMXMIXM. It comes in a 4.5 GB package with all the expected features. Of course, you should not expect the AI features because they require more resources, which Redmi 12 is not designed to give. Nevertheless, expect an improved performance, security, and stability after installing the upgrade.
In addition to the new changes, the update bumps the Android security patch level to November 2024. Of course, your device’s Android OS version moves to 15 after the installation. We recommend installing the update when prompted to enjoy the new features and optimizations that come with it.
