Emir BardakçıWith the rollout of HyperOS 2.1, Xiaomi has introduced an innovative and user-friendly update to QR code scanning, making the process seamless and effortless for users. Though Xiaomi devices have always had a dedicated app for scanning, many users found it irksome to open the app just to scan a QR code. That’s where HyperOS 2.1 resolves it by simplifying the experience significantly.
How the New Scanner Feature Works
If your Xiaomi smartphone is running HyperOS 2.1, like in the case of the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 14 Series, you can scan the QR code directly without opening the Scanner app. Here’s how it works:
- Hands-Free Scanning: Just put your phone near the QR code, and let the system itself find and scan it for you.
- Easy Application Integration: The device then, after scanning something, will always ask to choose an application to finally perform an action related to it and provides flexibility for different use cases.
- No App Removal: The Scanner app would still be available for the end-users who prefer manual scanning or need advanced scanning features.
Why This Matters
This feature changes the game for people who regularly have to scan codes everywhere, from restaurants to shops to events. It does away with extra steps for interaction and saves time in the process. HyperOS 2.1 continues to drop updates; these keep users’ convenience in mind, keeping Xiaomi at the very leading edge of innovation with regards to the design of mobile OSs.
