HyperOS 3 is just around the corner, most likely arriving by the end of the year. However, while it arrives, Xiaomi continues to release updates to HyperOS 2, and its newest version, 2.2, is increasingly available on more devices. Now, you can also get the HyperOS Launcher, which offers some interesting improvements.
HyperOS 2.2 is still at a stage where it has only reached some of the brand’s devices, and this version of Xiaomi’s operating system is still in its infancy. What is available for a much wider range of phones is the Launcher or desktop that the version uses, which can be downloaded and installed on any POCO, REDMI, or Xiaomi mobile . This is a very interesting version, with several new features and improvements.
The new HyperOS 2.2 Launcher is ready for your phone.
The latest version of the HyperOS 2.2 Launcher implements several new features, including more efficient optimization , so our phones will run more agile and fluidly thanks to the more refined implementation.
Additionally, it will allow you to have grid configurations on your desktop like those that older versions allowed and that were removed: you can return to 5×9, 4×7 or 4×6 if you prefer, organizing your icons however you like. Xiaomi also brings us a new feature powered by artificial intelligence that handles application search, in addition to greater customization of the wallpaper.
To install this new launcher, simply download and run it like any other app. Then, restart your smartphone to launch the new version. You’ll quickly notice how the new desktop’s animations are smoother and your phone takes less load, something that’s especially noticeable and appreciated on lower-end devices.
