  • How to get Xiaomi’s new control center on unsupported Redmi and POCO phones

    How to get Xiaomi’s new control center on unsupported Redmi and POCO phones

    Many affordable Xiaomi phones, such the Redmi 15, Redmi 14C, and Redmi 13X, continue to use the conventional Android-style control panel rather than the contemporary iOS-inspired Control Center found on high-end phones running HyperOS. The main cause of this limitation is hardware and performance issues, which make it difficult to execute sophisticated animations and transitions smoothly.

    Users of Xiaomi do not have to give up the new features and design in spite of this. It can be set up to mimic the new Control Center appearance on the majority of Redmi and POCO phones with the aid of third-party modification applications like Control Center 18.

    Announced alongside HyperOS 1.0, Xiaomi’s new Control Center features an iOS 18-like interface, smoother animations, and adjustable brightness adjustments. But not every gadget satisfies the necessary performance requirements. Xiaomi limits the new UI to mid-range and flagship smartphones since entry-level handsets with low GPU and memory capacity can encounter lag or frame drops.

    Xiaomi’s software framework is still adaptable, though. You may still improve the visual experience using third-party solutions like Control Center 18, which essentially replicates the look and functionality of the HyperOS Control Center, even if your phone doesn’t support the most recent control center natively.

    Get the New Control Center with Control Center 18

    You can simply duplicate the new Control Center with Control Center 18 app if your Redmi or Xiaomi phone does not have it natively loaded. With smooth animations, toggleable toggles, and quick access to your most commonly used options, this layout is almost exact.

  • Xiaomi silently discontinues software updates for two models

    Xiaomi silently discontinues software updates for two models

    Xiaomi has quietly stopped supporting software updates for the Redmi 12C and its international counterpart, the POCO C55. No new firmware, including HyperOS 2, has been released in the last two months, and the devices were last updated with the October 2025 security patch. These devices are anticipated to become officially EOL in February 2026, according to Xiaomi’s internal software roadmap.

    Redmi 12C and POCO C55 are being retired organically

    Why these devices eeached EOL

    For its entry-level series, Xiaomi has clear updating policies. The POCO C55 and Redmi 12C were marketed as reasonably priced smartphones designed for everyday use, typically with shorter support cycles.

    Each device finished its usual update window with HyperOS maintenance releases and Android fixes prior to hitting EOL. This change is intended to allow Xiaomi to focus attention on more recent models and maintain system stability throughout the ecosystem.

    Expected End of Life Timeline

    • Last update: October 2025 security patch
    • No updates released: November–December 2025
    • Official EOL: Scheduled for February 2026
    • Affected models:
      • Redmi 12C (China)
      • POCO C55 (Global)

    What you can do if you device reached EOL

    Users can still improve device stability by updating compatible system apps even after system firmware updates have ceased. Xiaomi smartphone owners have two reliable options:

    Recommended Update Channels

    • HyperOSUpdates.com: provides direct links to Xiaomi system app packages.
    • MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play – allows users to update system apps, enable hidden features of Xiaomi, and manage interface components smoothly.

    EOL does not automatically affect device functionality, and users may still experience adequate performance for daily tasks.

    With smartphones that offer increasingly better performance and longer support cycles, Xiaomi continues to broaden its selection of reasonably priced products. As part of the broader shift to the enhanced environment offered by HyperOS and more efficient update delivery, devices like the Redmi 12C and POCO C55 are being retired organically. A more explicit software policy is anticipated in upcoming budget releases.

  • Redmi K90 Ultra set for big upgrades, including a 165Hz screen and 8000mAh battery

    Redmi K90 Ultra set for big upgrades, including a 165Hz screen and 8000mAh battery

    The Redmi K90 Ultra, which will probably arrive in China in a few months, is already being discussed in the rumor mill after Redmi unveiled the K90 and K90 Pro Max in October. Digital Chat Station‘s early information suggests significant improvements over the current models, providing a first glimpse of Xiaomi’s potential lineup expansion. The information provides a first look, and as launch draws near, more clarity is probably in store.

    Redmi K90 Ultra key specs

    The Redmi K90 Ultra is anticipated to include a 6.8-inch LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a quick refresh rate of 165 Hz, according to the leak. The device may include a metal central frame for increased durability, and the screen is rumored to feature rounded corners.

    Strong water protection is also anticipated, which is consistent with the stronger resistance ratings of more recent high-end models. An improved audio system and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner are two more anticipated enhancements.

    redmi k90 leak

    Battery capacity appears to be one of the most notable features. According to rumors, the phone would have a battery of about 8,000 mAh, which is a significant improvement over the K90 Pro Max and earlier Ultra models. Additionally, a specialized high frame rate software layer that could improve the overall performance profile—particularly for gaming—is hinted at by the tipster.

    According to reports, the MediaTek Dimensity 9 series chipset powers the Redmi K90 Ultra. This might be the Dimensity 9500 Plus, which is expected to be released in 2026. The leak characterizes the Ultra as a performance-focused model, implying that photography may continue to be at a respectable but not flagship-leading level, even though camera details have not been disclosed.

    The K80 Ultra’s June 2025 release cycle is anticipated to be followed by the K90 Ultra. The K90 Ultra might make its Chinese debut around the middle of 2026 if Xiaomi sticks to this schedule. It’s possible that a modified K90 Ultra may go on sale as a Xiaomi flagship worldwide.

  • Redmi is testing smartphone with massive 10,000mAh battery

    Redmi is testing smartphone with massive 10,000mAh battery

    Xiaomi May Rethink Mid-Range Battery RegulationsChinese manufacturers are working to overcome the barrier beyond 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh batteries as smartphone battery technology continues to advance. According to reputable industry sources and well-known leakster @DigitalChatStation, the trial molding process has been completed, and the new 10,000mAh± battery is about to go into mass production. Xiaomi and Redmi are probably going to include this innovative battery into one of their upcoming mid-range phones.

    In its products, Xiaomi has always placed a strong emphasis on battery life and energy efficiency. Therefore, the creation of a 10,000mAh-class battery is a significant step toward the realization of smartphones with longer battery lives, which is one feature that consumers are very excited to see improved in smartphones. It is expected that a Redmi device will use the technology.

    10,000mAh battery leak redmi

    Since fitting a battery with a 10,000mAh capacity is technically difficult in terms of weight and thermals, this development demonstrates Xiaomi’s determination to balance capacity and design usability.

    Two smartphones will have 10,000mAh± batteries, according to DigitalChatStation. One of the devices has a Dimensity 8500 processor, while another has a 6.8-inch 1.5K LTPS flat display with a Snapdragon 7 series processor. Although these models have not yet been confirmed, it has been speculated that one may be from Xiaomi’s Redmi series because it may be intended to be a “Ultra Battery” variant.

    Surprisingly, though, neither gadget will support wireless charging. This guarantees that the devices’ long battery life and reasonable cost will maintain their success in the mid-range market.

    10,000mAh battery lead redmi device

    A significant shift in the industry began with the release of smartphones with five-digit battery capacities. In the past, only rugged cellphones and power banks have such capabilities. With Xiaomi’s arrival into this market, battery capacity with such proportions may become more common, providing the business with yet another reason to rank among the top in terms of battery life. Xiaomi will undoubtedly have a significant advantage over its rivals because to this technology.

    Additionally, users would be able to benefit from unparalleled standby times and all-day intensive use without recharging because to HyperOS’s optimization of background operations and hardware resources.

    Also, Xiaomi is setting the standard for mobile display technology in the future. “RGB is clearly the trend of the display,” Redmi Product Manager Sun Cun stated in an official statement, citing IT Home. This happened in reaction to well-known leaker @DigitalChatStation, who claimed that major panel makers like CSOT, BOE, and Visionox were developing RGB OLED displays and that Tianma would shortly follow.

    Compared to other OLED displays, RGB OLED offers crisper visuals, more accurate colors, and reduced power usage by displaying subpixels in the hues red, green, and blue. According to DigitalChatStation, a number of companies have begun **sampling 1.5K RGB OLED panels that can handle LIPO backplanes and high refresh rates, with 2025 smartphones being the target goods.

    RGB OLED technology

    Leading the way in this progression will be Xiaomi’s upcoming Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. TCL CSOT display panels, such as the Pro Max with a Real RGB panel using Super Pixel Alignment technology, are included with these devices. In addition to providing crisper visuals than 2K resolution, this enhancement reduces energy usage by 26%, which is ideal for flagships.

    RGB OLED Technology

    Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, also highlighted “unparalleled screen clarity and battery savings” when discussing another innovation made possible by the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, which uses Super Pixel display technology.

    With Sun Cun’s confirmation, there is now concrete proof that Xiaomi’s Redmi and Xiaomi brands will soon have flagship models with RGB OLED screens in a number of product lines and series, including the Xiaomi Pad series, Xiaomi 17 series, and upcoming Redmi K Ultra models. This is undoubtedly a significant step toward more **accurate, energy-efficient, and long-lasting display offerings.
