Emir BardakçıXiaomi has officially announced that several new features, initially debuting on the MIX Flip 2’s external screen, will be extended to upcoming foldable devices and, where possible, to existing models. The company is already piloting these enhancements on earlier-generation hardware, with broader availability planned alongside the rollout of HyperOS 3.
Key additions include an advanced external task manager, customizable widgets and shortcuts, and interactive AI-based pets integrated into the secondary display. The goal is clear: Xiaomi is investing in transforming the external screen into a robust platform for productivity and user engagement. For professionals monitoring updates, Xiaomi’s roadmap is available at HyperOSUpdates.com, while additional utilities can be explored via the MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play.
Key Enhancements Delivered with the Update
Highlights of the external display upgrades:
- Three pre-installed AI pets, providing interactive and engaging user experiences
- Enhanced task manager and control center widgets
- Broader support for third-party applications
- New desktop editing and customization tools
- Full compatibility with Office Automation (OA) apps for meetings and remote printing
- Improved support for camera and entertainment apps
These improvements are designed to position the external display as a genuine productivity tool, far beyond its original glance-based utility.
Productivity and Office Integration
The MIX Flip 2’s external screen now offers deep integration with leading productivity solutions, including comprehensive office suites, conferencing tools, and printer management applications. Notably, Xiaomi has prioritized compatibility with proprietary OA solutions widely adopted by Chinese enterprises. These developments may help establish foldable devices as a practical option for mobile business workflows.
Enhanced Entertainment and Camera Support
Beyond productivity, the MIX Flip 2’s updated external display supports ticketing applications for concerts, sports, and live events. Camera app integration has also been expanded, enabling users to capture photos or videos directly from the exterior screen and synchronize them instantly with their devices.
Rollout Timeline and Device Compatibility
While MIX Flip 2 users will benefit first, Xiaomi has confirmed their intent to bring most of these features to earlier foldables, subject to hardware compatibility and adaptation to the new Android core. These upgrades are expected to be finalized and delivered with the official HyperOS 3 update later in the year. The MIX Flip 2 is currently available in China, starting at CNY 6,999 (approximately $960).
