POCO X6 Pro Xiaomi HyperOS 

POCO X6 Pro will launch with Xiaomi’s Android 14-based HyperOS out-of-the-box globally, the brand has officially revealed. The phone is launching on the same date globally and in India, so it can be assumed that the Indian variants will get the OS too. Xiaomi started rolling out HyperOS in India just this month, and even the newly launched Redmi Note 13 series is getting the update later. So this would make the POCO X6 Pro one of the first phones to offer HyperOS.

For those unaware, HyperOS is Xiaomi’s new operating system for its devices. The official rollout began in December last year for a select number of devices. HyperOS offers several improvements under the hood, faster app boot times, UI tweaks and animations.

As for the POCO X6 Pro, the brand has been teasing the phone revealing some key specs about it. So here’s what we know so far about the POCO X6 Pro.
