What does the HyperOS 2.0.16.0 update bring for the Xiaomi 15 series?
Animations can now be interrupted when focus notifications are touched, so faster interaction can be achieved without waiting for the animation to end. Transitions are now smoother when minimizing apps with full-screen gestures.
Apart from system animations, there are also some improvements in the Photo album. A new feature has been added in the album editor that allows improving the quality of a photo from within the app. In addition, with artificial intelligence-supported photo enhancement tools, it is now easier to enlarge photos without deteriorating their quality and to remove unwanted objects from photos in the album editor.
As for the camera improvement, the new HyperOS 2.0 update optimizes the telephoto feature for better zoom. Video filters have also been optimized for more vivid and realistic video content. On the AI side, the texts and recommendations provided by Xiao AI have also been improved.
The Xiaomi 15 series is among the first phones to use the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which provides significant improvements in performance and efficiency. In addition to the new processor, battery capacity has been significantly increased and heat dissipation has been improved. The Pro model now has a 5x periscope telephoto camera. With advanced imaging hardware, optimized super telephoto functionality and new AI-powered editing tools in the gallery app, Xiaomi 15 Pro will be among the best smartphones of 2025.
