A leaked image of the new Settings homepage shows a more modern and intuitive design. This improvement will enhance the aesthetics and enhance navigation and user experience.

HyperOS 2.0 might also support up to 16GB of virtual memory, with a default of 6GB. However, this feature is expected to be available only on high-end devices with sufficient hardware capacity. Additionally, Xiaomi may allow users to disable the lock screen editor, a feature that some users find inconvenient when activated by pressing a blank space on the lock screen.
