Along with the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro flagships, Xiaomi also announced a new Android-based OS. Its name is HyperOS, and it has arrived to replace MIUI, though that will happen gradually.
HyperOS is also official, and it comes pre-installed on the Xiaomi 14 series
HyperOS does come pre-installed on these two smartphones, but this was a China launch of the two devices, and it will take time for it to push out MIUI. Xiaomi will use HyperOS on a global scale, though.
The company says that HyperOS was created back in 2017, but presumably under a different name. Xiaomi basically wants to unite all of its services under one OS, and HyperOS is here to serve.
HyperOS actually relies on Linux and Xiaomi’s self-developed Xiaomi Vela system. That allows it to work well on a wide range of devices, spanning from smartwatches and smartphones, to tablets and various other devices.
It is allegedly great when it comes to resource management
Xiaomi said that HyperOS does great when it comes to resource management. Thanks to that, the performance should be smooth at all times.
The company also presented something called ‘HyperConnect’. As its name says, this is a connectivity feature. It gives users control over all connected devices from basically anywhere. It will allow users to do various different things remotely, and also transfer data.
Security has been boosted here too. Xiaomi uses dedicated hardware TEE safeguards, while it also uses end-to-end encryption for data transmission.
‘HyperMind AI’ is also a part of the package
HyperOS also comes with a feature called ‘HyperMind AI’. That is basically the AI brain of sorts. It will learn your needs and adapt your devices according to them, for the best performance possible.
This OS also integrated large foundation models. It supports speech recognition, image search, and AI artwork creation. Do note that this won’t be limited to just Xiaomi’s apps.
Do note that this is a Chinese version of the software, there may be changes for the global variant.
