Xiaomi has shared a rather interesting video on YouTube. The name of the video is “A Journey through Time | The Evolution of MIUI”, and that’s a perfect description of this video from Xiaomi.
Xiaomi shows us the evolution of MIUI in its new video
The video itself has a duration of 3 minutes, and it’s embedded below the article. In it, you’ll see every version of the company’s Android skin through time. You’ll see various elements of MIUI, animations, and various other details.
This is a perfect look at how MIUI changed with time. If we compare the original version and the current one, the differences are major. Xiaomi also shared this video as an homage to MIUI, kind of.
MIUI is waving goodbye, as HyperOS is taking over
Why? Well, MIUI has basically been put to rest, as HyperOS is taking over. In all honesty, HyperOS looks basically the same as MIUI, so this is more of a rebrand than anything else. Xiaomi has big plans for it, though.
HyperOS did start rolling out to some devices recently, and the company announced its global roadmap for HyperOS updates as well. The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro do ship with HyperOS out of the box, in China, and their global models will too.
The Xiaomi 14 is expected to arrive to global markets in Q1 2024
Xiaomi still hasn’t announced the global variants of these two phones. That is expected to happen in the first quarter of the year. The Xiaomi 13 series launched globally towards the end of February this year. Xiaomi could be aiming for a similar time frame with the Xiaomi 14 series. So, either around or as part of MWC in Barcelona.
Xiaomi is continuing to trim down the fat in its Android skin, and that trend is expected to continue. HyperOS does deliver a number of under-the-hood updates, and we’ll see how its global variant will look. For the time being, we only got to see the Chinese version of Xiaomi’s new Android skin.
