Okay, I know I will be downvoted to oblivion, but is there anyone else who also finds Hyper OS 2 bad? I have come from One UI 7 and Oxygen OS to a Xiaomi 15, and compared to them, I find Hyper OS 2 very lackluster and lacking in attention to detail. I know I will get hate for saying this, but the finesse and the polish that’s present in One UI 7 and Oxygen OS are just missing in Hyper OS 2. To name a few, widgets take up much more empty space on the home screen, can’t see battery stats properly, can’t combine notification and control center together, and much more. Does anyone else feel the same or just me?
I just came from One UI 7 and I find that Hyper OS2 has all things right that Samsung ruined in their update.
The software experience is just so smooth and fast with Xiaomi, it makes Samsung look like they just don’t have their act together. I love Good Lock and use lots of the modules, but I really don’t miss anything.
Yeah your right, from all chinese OS hyperos is the unoptimzed OS, the menu very confusing and full debloated, a lot of bugs. If i compare it with last Miui before hyperos, it was ok, but hyperos have many issues
-RAM Management
-battery drain
-removed a lot of settings like dolby atmos presets and Fingerprint icon settings etc
Im very tired of Xiaomi, i would in the next time dont buy another Xiaomi or Poco again
Same here.. its just that i don’t understand that Xiaomi and One plus fall under the same BBK Electronics yet how is Xiaomi lagging so behind from Oxygen OS. Xiaomi 15 hardware is good but the OS just ruins everything.
OP is right regarding HyperOS in comparison with One UI7. Lots of features in One UI which is unavailable in HyperOS such modesand routines, scrollable screenshot that works on every app, dual audio, better customisation, widgets, folders in app drawer etc. Nothing majorly wrong with HyperOS, just lacking quite a lot of features.
I’m fine with it but a bit mad the global version is lacking in most of the cool stuff like AI and super wallpapers, etc
Hate? Bro half of the posts are hyperos bad lol
I just love the hardware xiaomi is giving on the 15, but damn the software is just sorry…..
Exactly my thoughts
Yeah well it’s lacking for sure. But I don’t find it unusable myself, especially since I know where it came from… The way I see it, If one can deal with the quirks Xiaomi does provide good prices in many countries. If not, u gotta pay a bit more and get something else. In the end it’s the customer’s opinion that matters.
I have a s25.. and its just hard to ise hyper os after one ui7
Why did you get X15 if you had the S25 in the first place tho? I thought u sold it.
I always have 2 phones…for my second one i bought a xiaomi 15…and the os is a pain coming from one ui 7
It’s great for me, no complaints really
Samsung flagship phones are still getting oneui7 android 15 update. Do we need to say anything more ? And nonsense op oxygen os with absolutely pathetic camera in name of hasselblad.
Well if you have a backup device already, you can sell it to buy something else as a second. No point in holding on to something you don’t like. Updates will surely make the device better, but not to the extent it’ll deter your opinion I think.
Xiaomi is not part of BKK. Vivo and Oppo are.
Ahh okk sorry.. i just wish the software was good like the hardware om xiaomi
That is incorrect. Samsung is generally OK with updates except for one UI 7 which is a massive update so they took about longer. Most devices that qualify have got one UI 7 already. And yes it is much better than HyperOS.
Fingers crossed for further updates to improve the software. Let’s see
Exactly my thoughts. I maybe miss Samsung’s now bar, but everything else I came to like Xiaomi’s approach more than Samsung’s.
Massive update nobody is giving this kind of lame excuses for Samsung lack of commitment towards its loyal customers.
Lol, one long delay and this conclusion? Seriously? I would give them the benefit of the doubt and see if One UI 8 has similar delay before jumping to conclusion.
Bro i wait since my first xiaomi redmi 4 prime for better user experience but not happend until yet 😂
They push so many useless features for next versions of hyperOS but dont care about it its neccasary or not to get good software. The sellingpoint from xiaomi is hardware and not software.
They selling so much phones its incredible. If you look manufacture timeline they release every month 3 new phones…. Its not a good omen for the next years. Xiaomi only interested in your money
zero complains from me. everything is working fine.
same here, from s24u and rejected the lack of value in the s25u.
perhaps more customization with goodlock on samsung ui, but i found Hyper OS2 more efficient if used as intended – very much stock android with a few more features.
also a lot features in the interconnectivity between Hyper OS2 devices. looking forward to the day i will replace my tab 9 with a xiaomi.
Can you explain? My global has both of these features.
For a simple user the android skin is just fine.
I’m with you on this. Especially on the attention to detail part THE UI is fucking triggering to look at. Status bar icons don’t even align and the spacing between them is atrocious some are closer together and others have more space between them? Like why?.
Widgets takes up unusually large space for such small one. It feels like it’s compensating for being small 😭
UI elements are so inconsistent. Weird placements and off aligned objects. Totally useless ios lookalike control centre which lacks basic functionalities. Like holding the wifi icon brings up the pop up menu but holding the mobile data icon takes me to the settings?
media controls on the control centre is so ass like holding it down doesn’t do anything? At least take me to the current media playing app instead of just sitting there and occupying space which can fit 4 more usable buttons.
We will be downvoted for saying anything against miui/hyperos for God knows why. *Eh is a budget device you should complain about it* my guy stock android feels miles better on a low end device than this slop of a battery draining ROM in my mind range device. I had to debloat almost like 60 apps to get the so called decent experience.

Edit: after trying to customize my new xiaomi 15 for like 15-18 hours.
I must say the phone has a nice camera, charging speed and fingerprint scanner BUT it doesn’t matter when the phone itself has a bad Ui Software.
I even tried to put samsung APK’s without luck and google apps is choosing color palette from wallpaper that you can’t change, unless you change your beloved wallpaper to xiaomi’s own themes or wallpapers.
Therefor i will return it and just buy samsung again.
Orginal:
I agree it’s not good but I believe it’s not that bad. I feel to go case less on my new xiaomi 15 and if Samsung someday releases a good phone I’m moving back.
I find it hard to customize things.
Lockscreen and home screen are 2 different places if I want to customize with different wallpapers.
In order to put a different wallpaper for home screen I have to go in gallery app and set wallpaper.
You can’t customize Lockscreen fully by choosing size of clock. You have sizes and types to choose from.
The arrow up is wasting space when you have app drawer.
You can’t create folders in app drawer. You have to make categories.
I find super hard to find a good gallery and calendar app. Samsung is the king here software wise.
When you clear opened apps it always keep 1 for some reason.
And last. I wish they had notification and control panel together.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY LIVE CAPTIONS XIAOMI? SCROLLING SCREENSHOT? SENSORS OFF FUNCTION? BETTER BATTERY STATS? BATTERY CYCLE STATS? ACTUAL RAM USAGE INSTEAD OF FAKE ONE TO SHOW THAT HYPEROS IS LIGHT?
My brother at least they’re giving new features to them instead of taking away the existing ones like xiaomi does. One UI 7 is a major update and explains why it takes time and i don’t even like one UI but I can appreciate they’re doing something different instead of badly copying iOS. What’s xiaomi doing for their loyal customer i may ask?
i am done with xiamo for life
I have the note 13 pro plus with hyperos 2.0.8 and I have no complaints, in fact it improved a lot after this last update, the touch sensitivity increased along with the fluidity, the icons can be adjusted again as before
media controls in the media centre does take you to the app though, you need to press on it once and then click on the thumbnail in the expanded version
Chinese rom by any chance? Mine does absolutely nothing
Xiaomi 15 global rom.

Nice to hear, dont support this trash money greedy company
Live captions work simultaneously in English and French for me
My battery stats work and include cycle info
I have the Poco X7 i misread the OP sorry.
Same.. tried using one plus apks.. didnt work.. good hardware dosnt matter much when software is siht ..99% of the time i am intersecting with the software l, not the hardware.. hyper os is trash
I was very surprised the APK’s didn’t work. I litterally just bought a base s25+ 128gb and i’m already happier 🙂
P.S i won’t miss the 10 sec pop-up warning on xiaomi. For factory reset i had to wait 2 times 💀
Lfmao same. Sold my xiaomi 15 2 hours back.. have an s25 plus too.. getting a base s23 against the xiaomi as a secondary phone..
And same lnao.. the 10 second siht.. like xiwomi thinks we r kids 🤣
Then this guy saying samsung ui 7 sucks
https://www.reddit.com/r/ask/s/cOVyfS3OwS
It does… The question isint who is the best, th question is who sucks less. One ui 7 sucks a LOT less than hyper os
I had a typo. I have normal s25 128gb now. And I had s25+ 512gb to begin with.
Literally waiting for s26 🫡
Same…25plusn512.. .
Also waiting for s26…but if it comes out to be exynos i am skipping it tho.
Are you sure you’re not confusing closed captions with live captions?
Screen on time status is more reliable and accurate than total usage time.
Nop i don’t have that. Guess it’s only for flagship devices
lol it works on my redmi note 13 pro+, been using it forever
So you have 2 phones?
yep
Oh noice! Enjoy 🙂
No, it is live captions. Turn on “AI Captions” and any audio being played on the device will be converted to text in real time.

Device and rom? I don’t have any AI features
15U Global ROM in EU
Oh nah. EU ROM is not global rom it’s different
Chinese Rom
EU Rom
And lastly global rom.
Global is the one with less features.
But scrolling screenshot is a thing?
Yes. Even stock android has it.
I’ll never understand these arbitrary distinctions
When I take a screenshot I can hit Scroll under the preview which makes a scrolling screenshot. I’m on hos2 but even miui 14 had it
It ruined my Bluetooth earbuds (soundpeats) all I hear or listen to, have a terrible delay image/sound.
Rocking hyper os 2 on my xiaomi 15, flagship hyper is better I guess, I have s24u with one ui 7 as secondary device, cuz I don’t like it and my father uses a oneplus 13, and diff. between hos and oos is mid, oos is polished on most of their devices, where as hos is polished for flagships mostly, also hos does lack some features which are crucial, but we can expect hos 3 to add them, think positive 💪
Just you? Certainly no. User compatibility is a subjective matter, you cannot, once again CANNOT, make a single ROM that suits everybody. Unfortunately, with the ongoing landscape of Android development where custom ROMs are doomed due to evergrowing needs for more secure platform, you can no longer buy a phone then slab a different ROM other than what the manufacturer gives. So your choice is either to adapt (everybody can, given enough time) or to switch phone (for the impatient).
Never use live captions so I can’t comment on that.
Scrolling screenshot is there, unless blocked or improperly implemented by the app itself. There is an escape by using 3rd party app such as Screen Master, the built-in respects what each app wants. Otherwise, just swipe 3 fingers down (activate the gesture if you haven’t) then tap Scroll.
Sensors off? Never heard of it.
Battery stats and RAM usage are indeed shit on Global, that’s why I use EU which is based on China. Reason? No idea, but to show HyperOS is light isn’t one. If that’s true, China won’t have it either.
Mainly local/regional regulatory compliance for certain features, e.g.: call recording, local apps inclusion, preinstallation of Google apps and services, etc.
Others face the same problem, just using different approach to solve it, or the same when the alternative approach is not possible. For instance, Samsung use one unified ROM globally with runtime switch decided by Country/Carrier Specific Code, except in China where they also ship a totally separate un-Googled ROM.
Both approaches have pros and cons from manufacturer POV, each company simply finds what they’ve chosen more maintainable for them.
Live captions are an absolute need for someone like me who has trouble understanding speeches. It’s very useful.
Ah EU rom I see. They didn’t implement the scrolling screenshot in the global rom.
Sensors off function is introduced in android 12 as a safety mechanism that prevents suspicious apps from stealing your sensor data.
Just try using a 3rd party ram usage app and compare it with the one that xiaomi shows in the recent page. You’ll see about 1.5 to 2 gigs of difference between them.
