A recent report by Digital Chat Station claimed that Xiaomi is planning to skip MIUI 15 altogether and launch a new operating system called MiOS instead. However, Xiaomiui, a blog that solely covers Xiaomi-related news, has suggested that these claims are entirely baseless and untrue.
According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi is still testing MIUI 15 internally and is expected to officially release it with the Xiaomi 14 series. They also added that there is currently no relevant information about MiOS.
However, the blog did not rule out the possibility of Xiaomi switching from MIUI to MiOS in the future. They suggested that if Xiaomi does make such a switch, it would likely only happen in China, and MiOS would not be available globally.
In support of its claims, Xiaomiui shared some code snippets showing that MIUI 15 is being tested on different Xiaomi smartphones. The hints of these internal builds were obtained from the official Xiaomi server and therefore can be considered reliable. MIUI 15 is currently in the testing phase for a bunch of Xiaomi smartphones, including the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Redmi K60 Pro, and Mix Fold 3.
While it is still too early to say for sure whether Xiaomi is truly planning to retire MIUI and launch MiOS, the fact that the company is already testing MIUI 15 suggests that MIUI is not going away anytime soon, at least in the global market.
