Xiaomi has shared new details about its upcoming HyperOS 2.2 mid-year update. This came from an official post on the brand’s Weibo page. It was the ninth post in a series called “Xiaomi HyperOS Answers Netizens’ Questions.” This update will bring new features, more ways to customize your phone, better camera options, and improved AI tools. Xiaomi also explained which devices will get the update and when.
When Will Your Xiaomi Device Get HyperOS 2.2?
Some top Xiaomi devices will get the HyperOS 2.2 update very soon. The list includes:
-
Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra
-
Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro
Xiaomi says these devices will get the OTA (over-the-air) update within a month. The update will roll out once the testing phase is complete. Xiaomi wants to make sure everything works smoothly and the phones stay fast and stable.
More Customisation Options for Lockscreen Shortcut
HyperOS 2.2 now makes customizing your lock screen a lot better. For example, users can now choose their shortcuts. This makes accessing your favourite tools a lot easier and simpler. Other shortcuts users can now add to their lock screen include:
- Flashlight
- Camera
- Video recording
- Calculator
- Notes
- Voice recorder
- Alarm clock
- Compass
- Music Recognition
- Xiaomi smart card features
- Stop watch
It is worth noting that these shortcuts can only work with two themes for now. Users can only customize shortcuts with the Classic and borderless lockscreen themes. To customize your lockscreen, go to Settings>Lock screen > Customize Shortcut functions.
New Features in the Status Bar
This update also gives you more control over the status bar. You can choose which icons always show. Options include:
- Bluetooth
- Internet speed
- Alarm clock
- Battery status for paired devices (like earphones, tablets, and smart cars)
You can also hide or rename carrier info and clean up the status bar look.
To try this, go to: Settings > Notification and status bar > Icon display customization
AI Gets Smarter with Super XiaoAi Memory
HyperOS 2 also brings a powerful new AI feature called Super XiaoAi Memory. It helps you remember important stuff like:
- Addresses
- Calendar events
- Web pages
- Personal info (like ID numbers)
You can store things using voice or text commands. It can even read what’s on your screen and save it for later. To use this, update Super XiaoAi to version 7.4 or higher from the App Store.
Want even more hidden features? Download MemeOS Enhancer from the Play Store. It helps you unlock extra options, update system apps, and even tweak settings not normally visible.
Camera Upgrades and UI Tweaks
The camera also gets a refresh. If you’re using an older model, the color theme will stay the same. But newer phones will see yellow highlights in the camera UI.
You can also change these colors by going to: Camera > Settings > General > Color
The update adds automatic night mode, too. Your phone will detect dark scenes and switch to night mode on its own. You can still switch it on or off manually from the camera screen.
Final Thoughts
Xiaomi is working hard to give users more control over their phones. This new HyperOS 2.2 update shows the company’s commitment to useful features, smoother performance, and smart design. With better AI, camera tools, and personalization, Xiaomi is stepping up its game.
If you have a newer Xiaomi phone or tablet, you can expect this update soon. Keep an eye on your system updates and get ready for a better experience.
