Although Xiaomi is not selling it as an enhanced version of HyperOS, what can be proven from the current beta, the Xiaomi HyperOS Enhanced Beta, is clearly HyperOS 2.0. With Android 15 about to come out, the new version of what is already the OS that controls the Xiaomi ecosystem is almost a reality and that We will see first when they announce the Xiaomi 15 in a few days.
And, for some time now, some of the functions and new features that HyperOS 2 will bring with it have been announced. In fact, one of them is already available in the Redmi K70 Ultra that is sold only in China. A feature called ‘Storage Sandbox designed to increase privacy.
The restricted area on your Xiaomi mobile
Storage Sandbox is a feature that isolates app access to your device’s storage, allowing each app to store files in a restricted area that other apps can’t access. This ensures that sensitive data remains secure as it cannot be freely accessed by applications to each other’s stored files without explicit permission.
While Stock Android has featured a similar Scoped storage system for several years, Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 takes it a step further by incorporating ‘sandbox’ storage with greater integration into the Xiaomi ecosystem. This feature aims to improve user privacy, ensuring that Only you and the specific application have control over your data.
What will Sandbox Storage give you on your mobile?
- Greater privacy control: Apps will be restricted from accessing unrelated files stored on your device, making a data breach less likely.
- Specific permissions– Users can manage which applications have access to certain storage areas, adding a layer of control over file management.
- Improved security: Isolated storage spaces prevent malicious apps from affecting other apps’ data or accessing sensitive files.
At the moment we do not know when exactly HyperOS 2.0 will arrive in the form of an official update and for which models. But given that the Xiaomi 15 will be presented this Octoberit may be that shortly after or that same day, Xiaomi will release the new version of its OS.
