Purported list of the first devices getting Xiaomi HyperOS 2 internati
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Xiaomi unveiled HyperOS 2 in China yesterday, and along with the new software came a list of devices that will be receiving it as an update and a rough timeline of when it will hit each model.Today a purported list of the first international devices to get HyperOS 2 has been leaked.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Last week’s poll shows that the Oppo Find X8 series has strong potential but also several hurdles to overcome in its fight with other recent flagships.
