Jakarta, July 1, 2025 Xiaomi has officially launched the HyperOS 2.2 system update for over 130 Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones. However, if you’re a Xiaomi user, don’t rush to update HyperOS before understanding the risks and recent warnings shared within the user community.
List of Phones Eligible for the HyperOS Update
Devices receiving the HyperOS 2.2 update include flagship models like the Xiaomi 15, 14, and 13 series, as well as mid-range and budget phones like the Redmi Note 12, 13, and 14. Included are POCO models including the F, X, and M series. Xiaomi has also expanded support to tablets like the Xiaomi Pad 6 and POCO Pad.
Many users are starting to receive update notifications (OTA), but Xiaomi urges users not to install the update immediately without proper checks or preparation.
Major Issues After Update: Black Screen Problem
Recent reports have revealed a critical bug in HyperOS versions 2.0.5.0 and 2.0.7.0, causing Xiaomi 12T users to experience a total black screen after updating. Xiaomi has since paused the rollout of these versions after confirming at least two cases.
Interestingly, both affected devices had third-party screen replacements, which caused compatibility issues with the new firmware. This highlights that devices with non-original or modified components are at higher risk of malfunction after the update.
Old Xiaomi Devices Need to Be Extra Cautious
Owners of older Xiaomi phones like the Mi 10 and earlier Redmi models have also been wondering if their devices are eligible for HyperOS. While models like the Mi 10 were reportedly updated to HyperOS 2.2 in China, there is no official confirmation for global markets, including Indonesia.
If you’re using an older Xiaomi device, don’t throw it away or rush to install the update manually. The official rollout is done in phases and may take months to reach devices outside China.
What Is HyperOS and What Are Its New Features?
Xiaomi’s new operating system, HyperOS, takes the place of MIUI. Although still based on Android, HyperOS is designed to integrate the entire Xiaomi ecosystem, including smartphones, tablets, electric vehicles, and smart home IoT devices.
Key features of HyperOS 2.2 include:
- Improved performance and power management
- A more modern and lightweight user interface
- Integration with Xiaomi Vela for smart device control
- Enhanced privacy and security features
However, the update is not entirely bug-free, especially for devices repaired with unofficial components.
Safe Tips Before Updating to HyperOS
Before installing the update, here are important tips to consider:
- Visit Xiaomi’s website to get the official list of devices that qualify for HyperOS.
- Back up all important data to prevent data loss in case of update failure.
- Avoid manual updates from unofficial sources to steer clear of malware or corrupted files.
- If your device has had unofficial repairs (e.g., screen replacement), hold off on updating and wait for further clarification from Xiaomi.
Conclusion
Although HyperOS 2.2 brings many exciting new features, Xiaomi phone owners should not rush to update. Bugs have been identified on several devices, particularly those with non-original parts.
Make sure you follow official guidance and wait patiently for the stable release suited to your device. With a cautious approach, you can enjoy Xiaomi’s latest innovations without risking system damage.
