The last Poco Launcher update was released in July 2024 and since then there has been very little news about its further development. However, rumors are rife that the Poco Launcher will very soon be replaced by the System Launcher as part of Xiaomi‘s efforts to unify the experience in HyperOS 2.
If this is the case, then this is very important for owners of Poco brand devices – with the System Launcher (HyperOS Launcher), their device’s interface will seriously approach the rest of the Xiaomi ecosystem.
Why change Poco Launcher to System Launcher?
Xiaomi developers are constantly working on optimizing HyperOS software for all their devices. The system launcher is used in both Xiaomi and Redmi devices and is designed efficiently enough to complement the modern HyperOS 2 ecosystem.
In addition, System Launcher is designed to optimize HyperOS 2 based on artificial intelligence algorithms, which ensures faster, smoother and more responsive interaction.
Switching to System Launcher means that feature parity will be achieved across the board, without fragmentation between Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco models.
Unlike Poco Launcher, which has not been updated since July, System Launcher has constant updates for better support and bug fixes.
Which Poco devices will get HyperOS 2 with System Launcher?
As expected, many Poco devices will be officially upgraded to HyperOS 2 in the very near future and, according to insiders, will switch to System Launcher. We are talking about the following models:
- Poco F6 Pro
- Poco F6
- Poco F5 Pro
- Poco F5
- Poco X6 Pro
- Poco X6
- Poco X5 Pro
- Poco M6 Pro
- Poco M6
- Poco Pad
Such changes can have several positive effects on Poco users.:
- More frequent updates: New features, security fixes, and bug fixes arrive much faster.
- AI-powered features: Smarter search, seamless multitasking, and some HyperOS-specific features, including Circle to Search and integration of AI services.
As HyperOS 2 begins to spread among global versions of smartphones and tablets, a single software picture begins to emerge for Xiaomi.
So it may well replace the Poco Launcher in order to emphasize consistency in improving the performance of its devices and introducing innovations.
