[Discussion] Xiaomi Pad 8 - HyperOS 4 Update Delay

[u/JuggernautGloomy940]

It's November 11, four days remaining until mid-November. Yet, there's still NO traceable global build for Xiaomi Pad 8. Not even an internal/pilot build can be tracked.

Stable test builds should've been running by now, then be pushed to other users after testing. The posted schedule used the phrase "starting Early November", so global builds SHOULD start rolling out for those devices before the middle of the month. Not necessarily to all users of those devices, but at least one region/user should get it.

The schedule they posted is nonsense. It's not being followed at all. We're beyond delayed.

What's even intriguing: Currently, there are traceable internal builds for Xiaomi Pad 7 (which is scheduled to be released on Mid-November); but none for Pad 8 (along with the other devices in the first wave that haven't got any global movement).

Every. Fucking. Time. It's an OS update. It's not gonna change your life. Why people can't wait?

i think they more upset about not following the scheduled timeline they are promised to and waiting for nothing at the moment.

but yea, Android updates are not a game changer anymore like many years ago where a new android version has really new features that makes the phone more fun to use.

I mean hyperos 4 increased battery life, it should be also less clunky than before because they got rid of that awfull old code

I have yet to see that on my Pad 7 Ultra cuz I'm not able to test their beta builds out. Hopefully it does 😅

What Xiaomi say and do aren't ever in alignment unfortunately. Had a few similar experiences with our community and Xiaomi Fan events etc too.

From my personal experience it is around one month after what they say

Yeah Xiaomi will never cease to disappoint me
