Xiaomi has announced that its HyperOS 2 software has now reached every device on its promised list, 116 phones, tablets and foldables across eight regions, within about six months. It is a quiet milestone in a familiar human pattern: a maker reaching across its own catalog, from the newest flagship to the humblest budget handset, and carrying its promises down into older hardware. Yet every such reach also marks a boundary, and for a set of older models the new software is ending its journey, leaving only a trickle of security patches behind.
Xiaomi Says HyperOS 2 Now Reaches 116 Devices Across Eight Regions in Six Months
116 devices, eight regions, six months, and some phones' last major update
Mark
Why does a number like 116 matter to someone who just owns one phone?
Mimi
Because it shows how far down the price ladder the update went. It wasn't only flagships. The Redmi 13C and POCO M6 got it too.
Mark
And the newest phones are included as well?
Mimi
Yes, the Xiaomi 15 series, the Redmi K80 line and the POCO F7 Pro and Ultra are all named.
Luke
Worth saying that 116 and six months are Xiaomi's own figures. The list shows lots of models, but it doesn't say when each one received the update or in which region.
Mark
So 'eight regions' doesn't tell us where?
Mimi
No, the regions aren't named, and it's reasonable to assume availability varied.
Mark
What about people whose phones are on the end-of-line list?
Mimi
They keep minor security patches, possibly, but no new feature updates. That includes the whole Mi 11 family and the Redmi K50 Pro.
Luke
'May continue' is soft wording. Nothing here commits Xiaomi to a patch schedule for those devices.
Mark
And what's next?
Mimi
HyperOS 2.1 and 2.2 later this year. Xiaomi says development is underway.
Luke
But no dates, and no device list for those versions yet. That's still unknown.

Xiaomi has announced that its HyperOS 2 software has now reached every device on its promised list, 116 phones, tablets and foldables across eight regions, within about six months. It is a quiet milestone in a familiar human pattern: a maker reaching across its own catalog, from the newest flagship to the humblest budget handset, and carrying its promises down into older hardware. Yet every such reach also marks a boundary, and for a set of older models the new software is ending its journey, leaving only a trickle of security patches behind.
Xiaomi has announced that its HyperOS 2 rollout is complete, reaching 116 devices across eight regions in about six months. The company calls it one of its most ambitious software pushes, and the list is long enough to cover nearly everything it sells, from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Mix Fold 3 down to budget models like the Redmi 13C and POCO M6.
The newest hardware is included, among them the Xiaomi 15 family, the Redmi K80 series and the POCO F7 Pro and Ultra, while the list also reaches back several generations to the Xiaomi 12 and 13 lines, tablets like the Pad 6 and Pad 7 series, and a broad spread of Redmi Note models. Xiaomi presents this as a sign of sharper attention to long-term software support.
Not every device has a future on that list. A number of older phones and tablets, including the Mi 11 series, Redmi K50 Pro and several POCO and Redmi budget models, have received their final major update. Their owners can expect minor security patches, but no new features. Xiaomi advises checking support timelines before buying.
Attention now turns to HyperOS 2.1 and 2.2, expected later this year with refined optimizations and new features. No dates have been given, and which devices will qualify remains the open question.
Xiaomi has announced that it has finished rolling out HyperOS 2 worldwide, reaching 116 devices across eight regions in about six months. The company describes it as one of the most ambitious software pushes it has attempted, and the list of recipients is long enough that it takes in nearly everything the company sells.
The range runs from the top of the catalog to the bottom. At one end are the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the Mix Fold 3. At the other are budget models such as the Redmi 13C and the POCO M6. Tablets, flip phones and foldables are in the mix, along with devices from both the POCO and Redmi families. Xiaomi frames this as a sign of sharper attention to long-term software support, with the promise of better performance, updated features and tighter integration across devices at every price point.
The named list includes the newest hardware: the Xiaomi 15, 15 Pro and 15 Ultra, the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro, and the POCO F7 Pro and F7 Ultra. It also reaches back several generations. The Xiaomi 12, 12S, 12S Ultra and 12 Pro are on it, as are the Xiaomi 13 series, the Xiaomi 14 line, the 14T and 14T Pro, and the Mix Fold 2, Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip. Tablets include the Xiaomi Pad 6, Pad 6 Pro, Pad 6S Pro 12.4, Pad 6 Max 14, Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro, plus the Redmi Pad SE and POCO Pad. Redmi Note owners are covered broadly, from the Note 12 family through the Note 14, in several 4G, 5G and NFC variants.
Not every device on that list has a future, though. Several older models have now received what is described as their final major OS update. These include the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4, the Xiaomi 12 Pro Dimensity Edition, the POCO F4 GT and Redmi K50 Gaming, and the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE and Mi 11 LE. The POCO F4 Pro and Redmi K50 Pro, the Xiaomi Pad 6, and the POCO X5 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition are also on it. So are the Redmi K60E, the Redmi Note 12 Explorer, Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+, the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra, the Redmi Note 12 and Note 12R Pro, the Mi 11, and the POCO X4 GT, X4 GT Pro, Redmi K50i, K50i Pro and Note 11T Pro and Pro+.
For owners of those phones and tablets, minor security patches may continue to arrive, but no new feature updates are planned. Xiaomi advises people to check support timelines when deciding on a future device purchase.
The company is already looking ahead. HyperOS 2.1 and 2.2 are expected later this year, bringing refined system optimizations and new features for compatible devices. Xiaomi has not given release dates, but says development is underway.
The 116-device figure and the six-month window come from Xiaomi's own account of the rollout. What to watch next is the dates for 2.1 and 2.2, and which devices make the cut for them.
