Will your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone get Android 15 and HyperOS 2.0? MeinMMO explains how you can find out with minimal effort. You only need a free app that you can uninstall after the check.
Xiaomi is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world, alongside Samsung and Apple. In mid-2023, a major change was announced: Xiaomi planned to replace its old software interface MIUI with the new system HyperOS. HyperOS also relies on Android, but it is just a different interface and offers different personalization options compared to the old MIUI.
If you want to know whether your Xiaomi phone will receive Android 15, you only need a free app and don’t have to do more than one click.
Free app allows you to check if your phone will receive HyperOS 2.0 and Android 15
What kind of app is it? It is the HyperOS Downloader app (via PlayStore.com), which you can find and download from the official PlayStore. The app comes from a private provider and is not officially from Xiaomi. The app analyzes your device and operating system and shows you which model you have and which version you have installed.
Much more importantly, you can directly see in the app’s menu whether your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone will be updated to the next version of HyperOS. This only works if Xiaomi has already announced the update and the app also has access to the relevant information.
And in our opinion, that is also the most useful function of the app, to see with one click whether you will receive the update to Android 15 or not. After that, you could theoretically uninstall the app again, as the system upgrade is offered directly through Android.
What else can the app do? The app offers additional options and tools:
- You can search for information about ROMs from other regions, but this is usually not very relevant.
- You can update system apps, which can also be done through the PlayStore without the app.
- Furthermore, the app provides details about some experimental and hidden features in the system.
Is there criticism of the app? Yes, many users complain in the reviews on the PlayStore that the app is quite ad-ridden. According to the latest update, the developers claim to have reduced the number of ads, but the criticism remains.
Additionally, some complain that system apps cannot be updated or that this app is not needed for that purpose.
