Xiaomi has finally rolled out the highly anticipated HyperOS 2.0 global beta update to registered Xiaomi Pad 6 users enrolled in the beta testing program. The major software update marks a major development milestone in the life of the hit tablet and brings it in sync with the latest Xiaomi operating system based on Android 14.
The update has the build number of OS2.0.2.0.UMZMIXM and has a whole lot of improvements in the user experience that the tablet users had been awaiting since the original HyperOS 2.0 released for the Chinese models a month ago.
Xiaomi Pad 6 HyperOS 2 update is ready: Arriving in mid-February
The global beta marks the final testing period leading up to the availability of HyperOS 2.0 among Xiaomi Pad 6 users worldwide. The update comes with improved multitasking capabilities, improved management of the interface with regards to the arrival of notifications and a simpler interface that adheres to Xiaomi’s revised design language. Performance has also been improved with quicker application launching and smoother transitions that many users experience.
It should be noted that while several flagship models will receive future iterations such as HyperOS 2.1 or 2.2, it has been suggested by sources that the Xiaomi Pad 6 will be the final major update that will be supported with the use of HyperOS 2.0. This aligns with Xiaomi’s typical update cycle with regards to the company’s series of tablets that normally brings a major Android version update.
What Is the Xiaomi Pad 6 with HyperOS 2.0
The Xiaomi Pad 6 also sees a comprehensive set of improvements and optimizations with the update of HyperOS 2.0. The update based on Android 14 and not Android 16 (which has not yet been released on any device) and focuses on refining the experience of the tablet and not making wholesale changes.
There will be an updated control center with better instant setting management and better split-screen capabilities that will further boost the abilities of the multitasking. The system also has better battery optimization programs that will further extend the battery life of the tablet that has been exceptionally good till date.
Also included with the addition of HyperOS 2.0 are tighter privacy capabilities including finer-grained permission management and improved management of the notifications. The camera application has also seen improvements in image processing, although the limitations of the hardware will keep the improvements minimal.
Beta testing program and schedule of final rollout
Currently, the Beta testers are testing the OS2.0.2.0.UMZMIXM build and helping Xiaomi identify and resolve any issues that pop up before the stable build goes live. The pre-registered users receive the limited beta program and the addition of new users has been put on hold temporarily while Xiaomi stabilizes the build.
Following Xiaomi’s usual patterns of release, we should be able to expect the stable public rollout within 4-6 weeks if no critical issues arise during the beta testing period. The phased update will allow certain areas to get the update a few days in advance of the rest of the world as Xiaomi closely tracks the rollout.
Is This the Final Important Update for Xiaomi Pad 6?
Based on reports from trusted sources, the Xiaomi Pad 6 will probably get the last major system update with the release of HyperOS 2.0. This may be a disappointment for users who expected a long period of software support, but it aligns with the company’s previous strategy of updating tablets.
The Xiaomi Pad 6 will also receive regular security patches and incremental upgrades for a period of time following the stable availability of HyperOS 2.0, making the device operational and secure. Users who need a longer life of the software will either need to utilize Xiaomi’s Pro series of tablets or wait for future models that may offer a longer update cycle.
For those who want the ultimate Xiaomi Pad 6 experience with the power of HyperOS 2.0, diving into Xiaomi’s supported library of apps and services will help them get the most out of the device’s productivity and entertainment capabilities.
