Contrary to what everyone expected, it appears the Xiaomi 15 Series is not going to be the first device with HyperOS 2.0 to enter the Indian market.
As per recent reports, it is going to Poco X7 Pro instead to introduce the latest HyperOS 2.0 to Indian consumers.
Here’s the complete story.
We all know that HyperOS was announced by Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi in 2023 as an upgrade to the MIUI 14.
Exactly one year after that announcement, the company introduced next-generation HyperOS 2.0 with multiple spec upgrades and performance enhancements.
While the Xiaomi 15 Series is the first smartphone to come out of the box with HyperOS 2.0 outside of the Chinese market, this will not be the case for India.
The issue arises since the Xiaomi 15 Series will not be available in India before 2025, which means HyperOS 2.0 will be introduced by some other smartphone much before that.
A recent Smartprix exclusive report has confirmed that is POCO X7 Pro will be the first smartphone to launch in India with HyperOS 2.0 software.
Interestingly, we have seen the POCO X6 Pro become the first smartphone to come in India with first-gen HyperOS last year as well.
While the Smartprix report has no update on the specifications of the POCO X7 Pro, it does suggest that the X7 Pro is actually a version of the Redmi Note 14 Pro+.
Some reports earlier suggested that X7 Pro was renamed version of K80E, but it appears the model has been now cancelled officially.
We can also confirm that the POCO X7 Pro is expected to be launched in India this December after a recent confirmation from official sources.
In response to a Tweet inquiring about the launch date of the POCO M7 Pro, POCO India Head Himanshu Tandon replied, “December.” It can now be expected that both the POCO X7 Pro and the POCO M7 Pro will be launched in December 2024 together.
