Get ready for a paradigm shift in Xiaomi’s Android experience with the imminent launch of HyperOS. 

Positioned as the successor to the widely acclaimed MIUI, this groundbreaking operating system is slated to make its debut alongside the eagerly awaited Xiaomi 14 series in October 2023. 

HyperOS is poised to redefine user interaction with its heightened focus on performance, efficiency, and a sleek, modern design.

Let’s get into the details.

What is HyperOS?

HyperOS is an upcoming operating system developed by Xiaomi, representing a significant milestone in the company’s technological journey. 

According to Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, HyperOS is described as an innovative platform that seamlessly integrates a staggering 200 product categories and has the capacity to connect a whopping 820 million devices. 

This achievement is the result of over a decade of exploration and seven years of intensive research and development, demonstrating Xiaomi’s unwavering dedication to advancing intelligent technology. 

Jun emphasized that HyperOS is based on the fusion of the highly evolved Android system and Xiaomi’s self-developed Vela system, leading to a complete overhaul of the underlying architectural framework.

While the specific details about HyperOS are yet to be officially unveiled, leaked screenshots and hands-on videos have provided early glimpses of the platform. 

Notably, these previews showcased a version of HyperOS running on an undisclosed Xiaomi device, drawing attention to its notification panel’s striking resemblance to iOS’ Control Centre. 

Some users have raised concerns about the similarities, prompting discussions about Xiaomi potentially drawing inspiration from Apple’s interface. 

However, it’s important to note that many Chinese ROMs often share certain design elements with iOS.

However, this launch will be an official unveiling of the new OS and the actual roll out of the update will take place sometime in 2024.
