Xiaomi Time writes about it.

Devices that will no longer receive HyperOS 2.1 and 2.2

According to available information, the following models will remain on the current version of HyperOS and will not be updated to versions 2.1 and 2.2:

  • Xiaomi 11 series (all models);

  • POCO M5 line;

The HyperOS 2.1 version offers significant improvements to the Xiaomi system. The main focus is on optimizing and smoothing animations. Users of compatible devices will notice smoother transitions between menus and an overall improved phone experience.

What to expect from HyperOS 2.2

Currently, details about HyperOS 2.2 are kept secret, and there are practically no official details about new features from Xiaomi. According to preliminary information, the update may be presented in March. Then, owners of compatible devices will be able to see for the first time what features version 2.2 will bring.
