Xiaomi is trying to promptly release fresh HyperOS 2 updates with up-to-date Android security fixes for Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco devices, but the May security patch is likely to be delayed.
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has gone on a five-day holiday break, which could delay the May 2025 security update for millions of users worldwide.
The long break is the result of China celebrating several holidays in a row, and users of Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices will have to wait a bit to get the most up-to-date Android security patch.
Why is Xiaomi taking a break?
Xiaomi’s five-day vacation covers a number of significant Chinese holidays and memorable dates:
- International Workers’ Day (May 1): A Chinese public holiday commemorating labor and workers.
- Day off (May 3): a standard day off.
- Youth Day (May 4): An important Chinese holiday dedicated to the country’s youth.
- Dragon Boat Festival (May 5th): It is a traditional holiday in China according to the lunar calendar.
This concentration of holidays gives Xiaomi employees a great opportunity to have enough free time, which is a popular practice among Chinese Internet companies.
