Now the Chinese smartphone brand seems to be testing the next version of its custom Android interface — HyperOS 2.0 — on a limited number of devices. Xiaomi is yet to announce a release date for HyperOS 2.0 which is based on Android 15, but internal builds of the user interface have been discovered on several Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones, including the upcoming Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.
According to a GizmoChina report, internal builds of HyperOS 2.0 were spotted on the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro with firmware version OS2.0.1.5.VOCCNXM and OS2.0.1.2.VOBCNXM, respectively. The publication also shared an image of the testing version installed on a Xiaomi handset.
