Emir BardakçıThis is an important news development for both Xiaomi and POCO users: the POCO F6 Pro has begun receiving a much-anticipated update to Global HyperOS 1.5. The first device in the world to be upgraded to the HyperOS 1.5 update was the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra. This is an important update for Xiaomi customers, as it represents a great number of changes, which should provide a new experience with new features and increased security.
Progress Update
The update to the HyperOS 1.5 for the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra was actually available two weeks ago in China under other names (OS1.0 and OS0.0 alone). This is now being streamlined into one version as part of the global roll-out, named HyperOS 1.5, accordingly making the update more manageable and probably setting a precedent for other devices in the Xiaomi ecosystem.
Launch of Global Rollout
POCO F6 Pro HyperOS 1.5 will be released globally, but only for the beginning of distributions in the European Economic Area. This RoW release is to secure that there will be no cannibalization of new OS features and security updates in different regions that might confuse a consistent user experience.
How to Install Update
Here are two ways in which users of the POCO F6 Pro can update their devices with the latest HyperOS 1.5:
- Auto Update: This would be the most straightforward way. That is, do it automatically where the user can turn on their device to download and install updates via the settings option.
- Manual Installation: For those who want to have more control over the update process or take this opportunity to be able to update not just one device, Xiaomi gives you the luxury of getting an installable file to be downloaded for manual installation.
