Xiaomi Picks 9 Devices For Rollout in Early 2024

Highlights

Xiaomi officially announces the upcoming HyperOS update, initially featuring on the 14 series, with a wider release expected in Q1 2024.
HyperOS, based on Android 14, is being tested on nine Xiaomi models, suggesting a synchronized debut with Google’s latest OS.
The update list focuses on Xiaomi smartphones, including the 13, 12T series, and the 11T, with the Xiaomi Pad 6 soon joining.

Xiaomi new HyperOS UI had been revealed alongside the company’s 14 series of smartphones which were the first to be equipped with the innovative platform.

Now Xiaomi is looking to bring the HyperOS update to a broader range of devices shortly.

A selected array of devices is forming the vanguard of Xiaomi’s global strategy for the dissemination of HyperOS.

The notable aspect of this new interface is that it is grounded in Android 14, suggesting a simultaneous launch with Google’s upcoming operating system version.

Users already on the Android 14 beta using MIUI 14 are poised to receive the stable Android 14 update before the shift to HyperOS.

Reports from Gsmchina reveal that at least nine Xiaomi smartphone models are earmarked in the international testing phase of HyperOS.

Currently, the list exclusively comprises Xiaomi branded phones, leaving out Redmi and POCO models.

Nonetheless, given the historical trend of updates, there’s optimism that these models may also benefit from the new operating system in due course.

A close look at the ongoing rollout strategy of Xiaomi’s HyperOS includes these models:

Xiaomi 13 series including the standard, Pro, Ultra, and T versions
Xiaomi 12T and its Pro variant
The Xiaomi 11T
The forthcoming Xiaomi Pad 6

As mentioned, these devices are currently undergoing internal trials of the HyperOS, indicating that a public release is on the horizon.

While the official timeline indicates a Q1 2024 release, there are hints that the update may arrive earlier, potentially by the close of the current year.

FAQs

What is HyperOS and how is it related to Android 14?

HyperOS is Xiaomi’s latest user interface that builds on the upcoming Android 14 platform. It represents an integration of Xiaomi’s design philosophy with the newest features and security enhancements of Android’s latest version. As such, devices on the Android 14 beta, particularly those with MIUI 14, are expected to transition seamlessly to the stable release of HyperOS.

Which devices will initially receive the HyperOS update?

According to the rollout roadmap, Xiaomi’s HyperOS update will be initially tested and launched on a select group of smartphones. This includes the Xiaomi 13 series (standard, Pro, Ultra, and T variants), the 12T and 12T Pro models, the 11T, and the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 6.

Are Redmi and POCO phones going to receive the HyperOS update?

While the current testing phase includes Xiaomi branded phones, the historical trend of how updates are managed suggests that Redmi and POCO devices could also receive HyperOS. Given their shared architecture with Xiaomi models, it’s likely that these devices will follow in the update path in the future.

When can users expect the public release of HyperOS?

Xiaomi’s official schedule points to a Q1 2024 release for HyperOS. However, the ongoing internal tests hint at the possibility of an earlier rollout. Optimistically, the update could be made available to the public as early as the end of the current year.

Highlights

The Indian smartphone market records 44 million shipments in Q3, maintaining year-on-year stability.
Samsung tops the market share at 16.2%, albeit with a slight year-on-year decline.
5G smartphones gain momentum, accounting for 58% of the total shipments in the Indian market.

The Indian smartphone market has exhibited a consistent performance with 44 million units shipped in the third quarter of the year, marking a stable year-on-year growth.

During this period, Samsung led the Indian smartphone market share, despite witnessing a slight decline when compared to its standing in the third quarter of 2022.

According to IDC, the International Data Corporation, September 2023 experienced the lowest smartphone shipment numbers since 2019, a trend that’s been put down to reduced consumer demand and the elevated pricing of devices.

The Indian smartphone market’s average selling price (ASP) was reported at US$253, approximately Rs 21,000, representing a year-on-year growth of 12 percent and a 5 percent increase from the preceding quarter.

Growth in the Indian Smartphone Market’s 5G Segment

Indian Smartphone Market in Q3 Powered by 5G Growth

The 5G smartphone segment within the Indian smartphone market has shown a significant upturn, capturing 58 percent of the total smartphone shipments in Q3 2023.

The quarter saw 25 million 5G devices shipped, with the ASP of 5G smartphones declining by 9 percent year-on-year.

Leading the 5G charge were models like the Samsung Galaxy A14, Apple iPhone 13, and Xiaomi Redmi 12.

IDC’s insights also highlighted that the introduction of budget-friendly 5G smartphones and numerous discount offers were pivotal in the growth of this sector.

The prevalence of 5G smartphones in the mass budget category (priced between US$100 to US$200, approximately Rs 8,300 – Rs 16,600) surged from 34 percent in Q2 to 52 percent in Q3.

Dominance of Samsung in Q3 2023

Within the Indian smartphone market, Samsung retained its prime position with a 16.2 percent market share, although this represents a 12.2 percent year-on-year decline from its 18.5 percent market share in the same quarter of the previous year.

Other significant players in the Indian smartphone market included Realme with a 15.1 percent share, Vivo with 13.9 percent, and Xiaomi with 11.7 percent.

Year-on-year growth was observed for Realme and Vivo, whereas Xiaomi saw a decline of 32.4 percent.

This positions Realme and Vivo as gaining traction within the Indian smartphone market, while Xiaomi appears to be receding.

Indian Smartphone Market's 5G Segment — Indian Smartphone Market’s 5G Segment

Surge in the Premium Smartphone Segment

The premium segment of the Indian smartphone market, encompassing phones priced between US$600 (about Rs 50,000) and US$800 (about Rs 66,500), achieved the highest growth rate at 52 percent.

The quarter’s success was largely due to sales of high-end models like the Apple iPhone 13, Samsung Galaxy S23/23 FE, and Moto Razr 40, contributing to this segment’s three percent market share.

The Indian smartphone market’s super-premium segment, featuring phones priced above US$800 (approximately Rs 66,500), also saw significant growth at 43 percent.

Apple’s iPhone 13/14/14 Plus and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold5/Flip5 alongside the Galaxy S23+/S23 Ultra spearheaded this segment, which now claims a six percent share, an increase from four percent in the third quarter of the previous year.

Festive Diwali offer provides BSNL subscribers with an extra 3GB of data.

In a strategic move to bolster its telecom services, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is enhancing customer connectivity by offering a no-cost upgrade from 2G and 3G to 4G SIM cards.

Confirmed by BSNL Andhra Pradesh through a communication on the social platform X, the initiative paves the way for the telecom giant’s ambitious 4G services expansion set to span across its Indian circles by mid-2024.

Subscribers of BSNL’s legacy networks are in for a treat with the company’s latest offering, which not only includes a free upgrade to a 4G SIM but also comes bundled with an additional 4GB of data.

This data boon, valid for three months, has been highlighted as a gesture of goodwill to encourage users to transition to the faster network.
Insights into this development were initially picked up by Telecom Talk, which noted the announcement on X.

For those keen on harnessing the power of 4G, BSNL has streamlined the process.

Customers are encouraged to visit their closest BSNL customer service center or connect with a franchise, retailer, or Direct Selling Agent (DSA) to make the switch.

While the ongoing deployment of 4G is a current focus, BSNL is not resting on its laurels. The network provider has its eyes set on the future with the anticipated rollout of its 5G network following the complete establishment of 4G services by June 2024.

Despite initial projections by Union IT and Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for a 2023 upgrade to 5G, BSNL’s CMD P.K. Purwar had clarified at the seventh Mobile India Congress that the 5G transition is expected post the 4G rollout completion next year.

This new technology was showcased in a live demonstration to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the IMC 2023.

BSNL is also infusing the festive spirit into its offerings.

A special promotional deal surrounding the Diwali festivities has been announced, where users will benefit from an extra 3GB of data across various recharge plans.

This additional data is over and above what subscribers already receive with plans valued at Rs 251, Rs 299, and Rs 398.

The complimentary data can be availed through recharges made via BSNL’s Self-care app or its website.

FAQs

How can BSNL 2G or 3G users avail the free 4G SIM upgrade?

BSNL customers with 2G or 3G connections can visit any BSNL customer service center, franchise, retailer, or Direct Selling Agent to get their free 4G SIM card. The upgrade process is designed to be smooth and straightforward to ensure all users can enjoy faster connectivity with ease.

What benefits come with the BSNL 4G SIM upgrade?

Along with improved network speeds and connectivity, BSNL is offering an additional 4GB of data valid for three months as part of the upgrade. This is intended to provide users with a sample of the enhanced experience that 4G offers, at no extra cost.

When is BSNL expected to launch its 5G services?

After the full deployment of 4G services by June 2024, BSNL is expected to begin its 5G services rollout. This transition to the next-generation network is set to offer even faster speeds and more reliable service to BSNL subscribers.

What are the Diwali offers from BSNL?

In the spirit of the festive season, BSNL is giving away an additional 3GB of data on top of the usual data benefits with its Rs 251, Rs 299, and Rs 398 recharge plans. This offer is available to customers who recharge through the BSNL Self-care app or website.

Features ergonomic, thicker design with a seamless nib for comfortable, prolonged use.
Lacks battery and Air Command functionality, focusing on tilt sensitivity and drawing precision.

Samsung has expanded its lineup of stylus inputs with the introduction of the Samsung S Pen “Creator Edition,” designed to enhance the digital artistry and productivity for users of its Galaxy range of devices.

Priced at $99, this iteration arrives as a more robust tool tailored for the artists and notetakers who prefer a more substantial feel akin to a traditional pen.

Catering specifically to the needs of creators who use Galaxy smartphones and tablets, the Samsung S Pen Creator Edition boasts an ergonomically thicker form factor.

This design choice aims to provide a more comfortable and stable grip, making it ideal for extended drawing or writing sessions.

The stylus also features a redesigned nib that integrates more fluidly into the pen’s structure, thereby offering a sleeker look and feel.

Samsung Unveils New S Pen Creator Edition

Available solely in an elegant white finish, the Samsung S Pen Creator Edition is simplified with a single button, conceived to facilitate interaction with Galaxy devices‘ suite of software features.

Samsung emphasizes that this accessory is the most tilt-responsive S Pen to date, promising an intuitive experience that closely mimics the natural act of drawing or writing.

Despite its advanced sensitivity, it notably omits some of the smart functionalities previously incorporated into Samsung’s stylus offerings, such as the Air Command features.

This is largely due to the absence of an internal battery, which also means that the stylus does not require charging.

Samsung New S Pen Creator Edition

One of the convenience features retained is the magnetic capability, allowing the S Pen to attach effortlessly to the back of compatible Galaxy Tab models for secure storage.

However, this Creator Edition does not support the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, a decision that may surprise some enthusiasts, as it restricts its use to non-folding Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and laptops that are equipped with S Pen functionality.

This product launch coincides with the S Pen Pro being phased out from direct sales on Samsung’s official website, though it remains accessible through third-party retailers like Amazon.

FAQs

What is the Samsung S Pen Creator Edition?
