Features That We Wish Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0 Gets
While we have talked about some confirmed new features, there are some we wish Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0 gets.
Material You Theming
Since all the other Android skins like One UI or FunTouchOS have implemented Material You Theming, it is high time Google should also start doing it.
Lock Screen Widgets
Since Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0 is taking inspiration from iOS, it can also bring lock screen widgets like a QR Code payment scanner for quick and easy online payments.
Customized Status Bar
The status bar should be customized to include options like showing/hiding various icons which will keep the status bar clean and make room for another important notification.
Detailed Battery Stats
There should be detailed battery health stats and health monitoring. This includes checking the last usage percentage, the time since the last charge, how much time the current charge will last, and more.
How many of these Xiaomi actually adopts, remains to be seen.
