What’s new in HyperOS 3?
HyperOS 3 brings some major visual and functional upgrades, led by Xiaomi Super Island — a slick new multitasking feature inspired by Apple’s Dynamic Island. It lives at the top of the screen and shows live activities like incoming calls, timers, or app notifications in an interactive pop-up style. What makes Xiaomi’s version stand out is that it can handle up to three islands at once and supports floating windows, giving users even more control.
The update also introduces redesigned app icons with smoother corners and brighter color palettes, creating a cleaner and more modern look. Xiaomi has revamped the lock screen experience too, adding features like AI Cinematic Lock Screen and AI Dynamic Wallpapers that bring subtle motion and depth effects for a more personalized touch. There’s also a centralized lock screen editing interface that makes customization much easier.
Under the hood, Xiaomi HyperAI powers a new suite of AI-driven tools. These include features like smart screen recognition, DeepThink mode for generating ideas or summaries, and AI-powered caption writing for social media. Users can even use AI Speech Recognition to transcribe recordings, remove background noise, and get instant summaries.
Another area Xiaomi focused on is cross-device integration. With HyperOS 3, the experience feels more connected than ever — whether you’re linking your phone to a Xiaomi tablet or even pairing it with Apple devices. You can now run Xiaomi apps on an iPad, mirror multiple apps on a Mac in windowed mode, and even use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock your Xiaomi phone. There’s also better interoperability with iPhones, such as the ability to locate your Xiaomi phone through a Xiaomi hotspot connection.
And of course, all these features are backed by plenty of performance and efficiency improvements, promising smoother animations, faster app launches, and lower battery drain compared to the previous version.
