Emir BardakçıThe entire Xiaomi 13 series has now received the eagerly-awaited HyperOS 2.2 beta update, which is a major milestone for Xiaomi’s software development journey. With the beta release, Xiaomi 13 series customers are being offered the first chance to enjoy the latest features and functionality before they arrive on the stable channel. This update serves to further leverage the already strong HyperOS 2.0 foundation and adds a number of refinements to advance overall performance, battery runtime, and user experience. This release plan is part of Xiaomi’s focus to provide its flagship-grade devices with timely updates and guarantee the software stability through comprehensive beta tests before releasing it to a broader audience.
All Xiaomi 13 Models Beta Update Information
The HyperOS 2.2 beta update has been rolled out for the entire Xiaomi 13 series in China under the Mi Pilot program. The respective update versions and information for every model are:
- Xiaomi 13: Version 2.0.200.7 BETA
- Xiaomi 13 Pro: Version 2.0.200.7 BETA
- Xiaomi 13 Ultra: Version 2.0.200.7 BETA
All three upgrades are Android 15 based and are a major advance for Xiaomi’s software development. The package sizes for the upgrades are large, and it is an indicator of the extent of the changes and features bundled into this release.
Installation Requirements and Availability
This beta release is currently only for users based in China, and they must be subscribed to the Mi Pilot program. However, users outside the program and who have an unlocked bootloader can still manually update, but this involves technical know-how and poses certain risks.
For those who would like to follow the deployment of HyperOS updates, the MemeOS Enhancer from the Play Store features update availability monitoring tools. This application also has hidden features from Xiaomi, system application upgrades, and screen update adjustments to help make the user experience better.
Major HyperOS 2.2 Enhancements
The HyperOS 2.2 beta update adds a number of significant improvements:
- Enhanced overall system stability for all applications
- More efficient battery management software for extended usage
- Smooth animation transitions across the interface
- New Xiaomi HyperConnect features for smooth device connectivity
- New Xiaomi Camera 6.0 interface
These changes are intended to refine and enhance the Xiaomi experience but retain the unique HyperOS appearance and feel that users have grown accustomed to.
Global Rollout Timeline
Whereas the beta for now is only available for the Chinese region, we anticipate the stable version to arrive for users globally after beta testing and fixing glitches is over. Xiaomi generally adopts the phased implementation method, and it first releases upgrades to flagships and then to other models within its product line.
