POCO F6 Gets HyperOS 2.0 Update in India, But Misses the Circle-to-Search Feature

POCO F6 users in India have started receiving the latest HyperOS 2.0 update from Xiaomi. This update is based on Android 15 and brings lots of new features and improvements for Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. The update is currently rolling out for beta testers in India with firmware version 2.0.2.0.VNPINXM and is 5.8 GB in size. It also includes the January 2025 Android security patch, which makes your phone more secure and stable.

This update introduces cool new features like customizable lock screens, smoother animations in the launcher and control center, and several AI-powered tools. With HyperOS 2.0, users can enjoy smarter options for Notes, Gallery, Calls, the Recorder app, and even features like AI Subtitles and an AI Interpreter. These tools make everyday tasks simpler and more efficient, which is always exciting for users.

However, one major feature is missing for POCO F6 users in India: the Circle-to-Search AI feature. This tool allows users to quickly search on Google by simply drawing a circle on the screen, no matter which app they’re in. It’s a handy feature that helps find information faster, and many people were looking forward to trying it out. Unfortunately, this feature is not included in the HyperOS 2.0 update for POCO F6 devices in India, which may disappoint some users who were expecting it.

Despite this, the update does bring plenty of improvements. The January 2025 security patch ensures that your phone is protected against the latest threats, so you can use your device worry-free. The new animations and design changes in the launcher and control center make your phone feel fresh and responsive. For people who like personalizing their phones, the lock screen customizations are a nice touch.

If you’re a beta tester, you can try out this update now. For everyone else, the update should arrive in 1–2 weeks, so keep checking the Updater app on your phone to see if it’s available. Once you install it, your POCO F6 will have a smoother, safer, and more feature-packed experience—though it’s a shame the Circle-to-Search feature isn’t included.

So, if you’re a POCO F6 user in India, this update is worth downloading as soon as it’s available for your phone. It may not have everything, but it’s a big step forward with lots of improvements to enjoy!
