HyperOS 2 is exempted in the case of update eligibility for the Xiaomi Pad 6, as the company has already announced that this tablet will not get the Android 15 update. Instead, its last software update is scheduled as the HyperOS 2 based on Android 14, which is expected in May 2025 or even earlier.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 will only see one major software update-the HyperOS 2, based on Android 14. And this will bring a number of changes, including:

  • Improved User Interface: Enhancements to improve the user experience in terms of usability and easier navigation.
  • Performance Optimizations: Tweaks to make it run smoother and utilize resources more efficiently.
  • Security Enhancements: Security patches updated to protect user data and privacy.

A scummy move by Xiaomi. Even with google and SOC manufacturers making it easier to update devices. We have Manufacturers pulling this move.

That’s the hard part. You can only unlock the bootloader once per year per user.
