The HyperOS operating system from Xiaomi has started to be released for Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphones in Europe. The 5.8GB update installs the most recent December security patch along with HyperOS 1.0.3.0 on top of Android 14.
On the other hand, anyone anticipating a significant divergence from MIUI might be let down. Rather than being a major makeover, HyperOS feels more like a polished version of MIUI. With a few small adjustments and enhancements, the general appearance and feel remain the same.
Not that there isn’t anything new, mind you. Along with improvements in battery economy and signal reliability, Xiaomi also says that the update will optimise performance for each individual device.
There are now more customisation choices for the lock screen, including a variety of styles and effects. Upgrades have also been made to the multi-window interface and home screen icons. The update also includes all of the most recent enhancements from Google’s Android 14.
Users of the Xiaomi 13T Pro should receive the update in the next several days due to the progressive deployment. Four years of significant OS updates are assured for the device, with three more to come after the release of Android 14.
In brief, the Xiaomi 13T Pro is equipped with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that features a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. Moreover, the smartphone has IP68 certification for water and dust resistance.
A triple camera arrangement with a 50MP primary sensor with OIS under the Leica brand is located on the back. A 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50MP telephoto lens with a 50mm focal length are attached to it. There is a 20MP selfie camera on the front. In addition to supporting 10-bit LOG recording, the smartphone can capture 8K videos at 24 frames per second.
A MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ CPU powers the apparatus. It has 1TB of storage and up to 16GB of RAM. The smartphone has a 5,000mAh battery that can be charged quickly—up to 120W. Additionally, a heat dissipation device is included to manage the phone’s temperature.
