Xiaomi HyperOS is not just an interface add-on, as MIUI was, but a full-fledged software platform. The size of the firmware for the mobile phone is only 8.75 GB, which the developer said makes it “the smallest in the industry.” The company has optimized system performance, outpacing the capabilities of Android on fast devices – they have become even faster. Xiaomi carried out optimizations in four directions:
work with memory – the launch of applications is accelerated, their work in the background is optimized; file system performance has been stabilized – the device always works “like new”; a number of problems with network connection delays and failures in a number of scenarios have been resolved; Real-time blur effect has been added for the graphics subsystem.
The most important innovation is Xiaomi HyperConnect technology – it is responsible for the dynamic interconnection of devices in real time. Devices are combined into a network, the organization of which is configured in a single center with the ability to set priorities in accordance with the user’s status. For example, the rear cameras of smartphones can be used for video conferencing on a PC, and the smartphone can be synchronized with a tablet via 5G during training. Broadcasting notifications on different devices will help, for example, track the status of a called taxi on your TV. The Xiaomi HyperConnect system is open to third-party developers, due to which the range of smart equipment will expand.
Xiaomi HyperOS comes with a suite of integrated large artificial intelligence language models. They will, in particular, help compose texts; capture documents and recognize them for office applications; turn sketches into beautiful images; search for images by descriptions; use the resources of neural processors to increase efficiency and security without connecting the cloud.
System protection is provided by the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) system developed by Xiaomi. It is used to protect sensitive data, including biometrics, passwords, and screen unlock mechanisms. TEE is also used to interact with other network devices, providing end-to-end encryption.
Xiaomi also announced that Vela OS for IoT devices will be made open source under the Apache 2.0 license, which will promote collaboration and innovation in the technology community.
The official public version of Xiaomi HyperOS will be released for Chinese devices in December, and their global versions will receive it in the first quarter of next year. The first batch of supported devices includes Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro (pre-installed), as well as Redmi K60 Ultra and Xiaomi Pad 6 Max 14. Other models will be announced later. Xiaomi HyperOS will also be released in versions for TVs, smartwatches, cameras and speakers.
