Emir BardakçıGood news for POCO X7 and Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G users as Xiaomi has started internal testing of the May security patch upgrade for the popular devices. The new upgrade promises to improve the security and stability of the system and is being tested by Xiaomi employees at present before wider rollout. This is a continued commitment by Xiaomi to release timely security patches for devices under the POCO and Redmi series so that users can stay up to date with the latest Android security features.
Update Versions Being Tested
As per internal sources, Xiaomi is now beta-testing two respective versions of the May security update on the POCO X7 and Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, which go by the codename “malachite”.
- POCO X7, Redmi Note 14 Pro Global – OS2.0.6.0.VOOMIXM
- POCO X7, China Redmi Note 14 Pro – OS2.0.11.0.VOOCNXM
These various build numbers suggest that Xiaomi is rolling out region-specific builds of the update to fit the various software features and requirements of Chinese and global markets. The higher build number on the Chinese version is a possible indicator that it has extra features or is optimized for that region.
Expected Rollout Timeline
It is being tested internally with Xiaomi employees at the moment, but based on the company’s usual update cycle, it should be made available to Mi Pilot program participants within a couple of days from now. The Mi Pilot program provides pre-release software to a group of chosen customers for them to use and comment on prior to the public release of the update.
After Mi Pilot, provided there are no serious issues, the upgrade should then start rolling out for the regular POCO X7 and Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G users in waves. This staggered rollout allows Xiaomi to provide a seamless upgrade experience while limiting the risk of common issues.
What is Included in the Update
Though official details regarding the contents of the update are yet to be made public, the May patch usually covers:
- Patches for newly discovered security vulnerabilities
- System stability improvements
- Performance optimizations for HyperOS
- Bug fixes for issues that have arisen
For those who are keen to get this update, it is possible to download it either from the HyperOSUpdates.com website or by downloading the MemeOS Enhancer from the Play Store. The MemeOS Enhancer app provides other perks such as the unlocking of hidden Xiaomi features, upgrading of system applications, and screen update settings that are not present within the default interface.
