The official community of Xiaomi Surging OS issued an announcement, saying that to further improve the version quality of the Xiaomi Surging OS system, the development version will be canceled and replaced by a beta version. In the future, Xiaomi Surging OS will only provide a beta version for early beta users, as well as an official version for all users.
Compared with the previous development version, the Xiaomi Surging OS Beta version has two major advantages, one is that there is no need to clear data for upgrading between the beta version and the official version, and the beta version system can also receive push updates from the official version, which is convenient for users to flexibly choose the system version.
The second advantage is that the beta version of Xiaomi Surging OS will not have a fixed release rhythm like the previous development version, but will be flexibly recruited and released according to the actual project needs. This also means that Xiaomi's engineers do not need to push dispensable updates to users in order to catch up with the fixed release rhythm of the development version, which can free up more time to really solve system bugs and improve fluency.
It is worth noting that the Xiaomi Surging OS development version is expected to officially stop being released in August 2024, and users of the development version can directly upgrade to the official version without clearing their data. However, if you want to switch to the beta version, you still need to apply for it at the Xiaomi Community Beta Center, and the first recruitment of the Beta system is expected to be in Q4 2024, when the official announcement of the recruitment models and application rules.
A few days ago, Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi, posted an article asking everyone what suggestions they have for Xiaomi/Redmi mobile phone products, and the comments are almost all complaining about the shortcomings of the surging OS system. It can be seen that although Xiaomi Surging OS has only been released for more than half a year, Xiaomi mobile phone users have a lot of dissatisfaction with this new system. I hope that the adjustment of this updated version can really make a difference in Xiaomi's surging OS.
