HyperOS 2.2 is now rolling out to selected global Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO users. Xiaomi began seeding the update to beta testers outside China, targeting specific devices. This version aims to polish the user experience rather than revolutionize it; with smoother animations, cleaner UI tweaks, and long-awaited bug fixes.
For now, the update is available only to a limited number of models and users. If you’re enrolled in the Mi Community beta program, and your device is on the list, you’re in. Others will need to wait a few weeks before the update hits stable channels.

What Changed in HyperOS 2.2?
HyperOS 2.2 focuses on refining user interaction, trimming bugs, and making visual elements more consistent. Xiaomi didn’t overhaul the system, it carefully sanded rough edges.
- Smoother animations: Especially when switching orientation to landscape mode, transitions are now fluid and jitter-free.
- Gesture reliability: Swipe gestures respond more consistently. No more ignored swipes or awkward flicks.
- Camera redesign: The camera app now has a refreshed UI. Menus feel simpler, watermark placement is flexible, and the look is cleaner.
- Bug fixes: Screen flickering and lag when opening apps have been addressed. Users report significantly fewer crashes or forced restarts.
Performance and Stability: Better Than Before?
Beta users say yes. HyperOS 2.2 brings visible improvements, especially for those who were already on an earlier version of HyperOS. If you’re still on MIUI, the jump will feel more dramatic.
No new bloatware or surprise system ads have been spotted yet. The system is responsive and appears lighter under daily use. Apps load smoothly. Multitasking feels more fluid. Xiaomi kept it minimal, with meaningful upgrades.
Camera UI Overhaul in HyperOS 2.2
Xiaomi’s camera app received special attention. Changes include:
- A simplified settings menu that puts key tools upfront
- Relocation of watermark tools, now users can drag watermarks anywhere on screen
- Faster shutter performance and reduced preview lag
- Compatibility improvements with third-party filters and lenses
Should You Update to HyperOS 2.2?
If you’re already on HyperOS, the answer is yes. The changes are subtle but meaningful. HyperOS 2.2 smooths the rough edges and fixes several annoying glitches. For users still on MIUI, the decision depends on your comfort with change, because moving from MIUI to HyperOS feels like switching operating systems.
Beta testers get first access, but the stable build should arrive in the coming weeks. If stability is your top concern, it’s safer to wait for the official stable release rather than flash the beta.
How to Join the HyperOS Beta Program
If your phone is eligible and you’re feeling adventurous, here’s how to try HyperOS 2.2 early:
- Install the Mi Community app
- Create or log in to your Xiaomi account
- Search for HyperOS beta registration
- Follow on-screen steps to apply
Expect bugs, restarts, and minor annoyances but you’ll be ahead of the curve.
Hidden Details in Build Numbers
The version codes (e.g., 2.0.201.0.VNOEUXM) reflect update generation, regional targeting, and device specificity. “EUXM” confirms the build is intended for European users, while the number before that shows internal sequencing and release stage.
This level of detail ensures updates don’t brick devices or introduce region-specific bugs. Xiaomi’s rollout is controlled and timed.
What’s Still Missing in HyperOS 2.2?
While the update improves stability and interface, users report:
- No major battery optimization yet
- No changes in notification handling logic
- No AI-based personalization or new assistant features
Xiaomi seems focused on incremental refinement. Big features might land in future releases possibly in HyperOS 2.5 or HyperOS 3.0.
Final Thoughts: A Calm Step Forward
HyperOS 2.2 doesn’t promise big things and that’s its strength. Xiaomi listened to feedback and removed pain points without breaking what works. Users finally get a smooth, reliable update that doesn’t disrupt their routine.
If you’re eligible and don’t mind a few wrinkles, go beta. If you prefer polish, wait for stable. Either way, HyperOS 2.2 is a clean, confident stride forward; not a leap, but a solid step.
