Most owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco are unaware that the Bluetooth module of their smartphone or tablet periodically needs independent updates in addition to the usual HyperOS system firmware.
This subtle HyperOS feature can significantly improve the Bluetooth connectivity on your Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco, enhance compatibility with new devices, and solve any annoying connectivity issues you may have.
Xiaomi has ingeniously created an independent Bluetooth-only update mechanism so that its developers can deliver important fixes and improvements for this critical component without the need for a full system upgrade.
This allows you to configure Bluetooth faster, while ensuring system stability, but at the same time means that users should be more careful when searching for these updates manually, as they are not always displayed in regular system update alerts.
To update the Bluetooth software on your Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco, you need to do the following:
Go to Settings – Bluetooth, and if there is an Update label next to Bluetooth Version, click on it, and then click on the big Update button at the bottom of the screen. After the update, the system will suggest restarting the Bluetooth module, which you need to agree to.
Regular Bluetooth updates provide your Xiaomi with many important benefits:
- Improved connection stability when using wireless speakers and headphones.
- Improved compatibility with the latest Bluetooth accessories.
- Reduced audio delay while playing games and watching videos.
- Reduced battery consumption when using Bluetooth.
- Eliminating security holes in the Bluetooth protocol.
After installing such Bluetooth updates, most users note a significant improvement in the sound quality over a wireless connection and the stability of the connection, especially when using the latest Bluetooth accessories.
