Xiaomi ends its 14-year beta update program
Xiaomi ends its 14-year beta update program? Leader in innovation and technology worldwide Xiaomi has revealed one of the most significant adjustments to its strategy for user involvement and software development. With Xiaomi preparing to switch from HyperOS 1.0 to HyperOS 2.0, the firm will shortly stop testing through public beta releases. This may be one of Xiaomi’s strategic shifts, pointing to a larger trend in the industry toward more regulated and reliable software releases.
With its MIUI interface, Xiaomi has been attempting to engage its user base almost everyday for more than a decade in an effort to create an engaged community of testers and developers. The business began limiting these test releases to a select group of people and devices two years ago, and updates are now being sent on a weekly basis.
Even though HyperOS 1.0 is drawing to an end and HyperOS 2.0 is currently being developed, Xiaomi has said that public beta upgrades will no longer be released.
Starting in 2024, this will put an end to Xiaomi’s fourteen-year public beta program. The betas will only be used for testing by internal Xiaomi staff members in the future. Xiaomi simply kept the initial testing in a more restricted setting as a reflection of their desire to make the software more dependable and stable.
OS 1.0.24.7.28.DEV Xiaomi has published what would be the last public beta version, OS1.0.24.7.28.DEV. By now, downloads are available for a large number of devices, including:
- Xiaomi 14 Pro, Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13
- Redmi K60 Pro, Redmi K60
- Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2
- Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Xiaomi 12S Pro, Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro Dimensity
- Redmi K50 Ultra, Redmi K50 Gaming Edition, Redmi K50 Pro, Redmi K50
- Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro
This update, which is going to be pushed out before midnight tonight to our users for an upgrade, shows them the latest enhancements.
Key Update Notes
- Improved System Stability and Fluency: The update focuses on boosting system stability and optimizing fluency, ensuring users have a smoother experience.
- Changeover Guidance: Those who read in posts claiming to update from the development to the official version and are receiving “update package verification failed”, should suspend updating immediately and wait for the official version’s security patch to surpass that of the development version.
- New Beta Version Mode: Given today’s industry trends and in an attempt to upgrade the user experience, Xiaomi decides to name the “Beta version” mode as so—this had been the name given for this new version of the system that is solely for the early internal testers. This would, at some point later, give Xuân the avenue to two independent versions of Xiaomi HyperOS—the internal “Beta version” and the “official version” for all users.
It is an event that attests to Xiaomi’s commitment towards provision of quality, stable software updates to its users. At the same time, by internalizing beta testing and further streamlining the update process, Xiaomi is setting a new benchmark for software development best practices,. The company is thus showing its gratitude to all developers and Mi fans who have supported and engaged with their beta programs throughout these years. As Xiaomi turns a new leaf with HyperOS 2.0, rigorous internal testing will end up offering software that is ever more resilient and reliable for the global user base.
