Xiaomi has unveiled the latest HyperOS 4, which will carry the new Android 17 update.
The new Xiaomi HyperOS 4 will have an almost entirely new interface as it boards the glass UI hype train. It allows you to heavily customize the lockscreen, resize folders and group widgets, seamlessly switch between portrait and landscape, and the UI attempts to render realistic-looking refractions.
HyperOS 4 also brings performance upgrades with better optimization for speeding up app launch time. Xiaomi’s own testing reveals that after using a HyperOS 4 phone for 9 hours, it loaded apps 18% faster compared to HyperOS 3.
The software achieved this by using AI to predict what resources a user needd next and preload them into the memory.
Xiaomi also made the camera app launch 200ms faster, while the HDR processing algorithm now only takes 240ms (from 310ms). You should also expect faster video playback.
More on AI, Xiaomi will use its own MiMo LLM to power its Super AI Assistant 2.0. It is tasked with handling photo album searches, notes organization, voice transcription, creating travel plans, controlling smart homes and cars, and more.
A new feature called Inspiration Ball was also created, which is essentially Xiaomi’s take on Google’s Circle to Search. You can use it to point at items on the UI, like a mobile number, and say “call this number”, and immediately reach the contact. You can also use it on images, addresses, and more.
