15 March 2024
We take a deep dive into Xiaomi's brand-new HyperOS.

Interesting, thank you. 2 questions:
1- what about Project Mainline support ? This effort to distribute updates of core OS components essentially like apps not via full OS updates is nice, but very optionnal and very modular. Does Xiaomi support it not at all - a little bit - a good bit - a lot ?
2- I recently switched to Motorola, Vanilla Android kinda sucks compared to MIUI, but Ready For's ability to have a virtual phone, running a different app than your phone, on your Windows PC is really, really nice. Does Xiaomi have plans for video out, or for this type of app-based Windows integration ?

    Shame its totally bricked my Xiaomi 13 pro. I understand that some devices were not meant to receive hyper os and now I have device that I can't use.
    Xiaomi aren't exactly going out of their way to help me either

      Recieved hyper OS update on my phone a month ago and running fine so far

      However two features are missing that are very important to me

      1) SoT

      2) Lockdown mode

      These are available on all android phones, except hyper OS

      I can maybe let go the SoT feature but lockdown mode being absent is a problem. I might not consider my next phone to be a Xiaomi for this reason. Hope they fix it

          Xiaomi HyperOS (Android 14) for xiaomi 11T vesion global WHEN?

            cyber, 15 Mar 2024this poco has a very capable chipset,why not?hardware aside... moreads and bloatware is a problem only for dumb users like you !
            You should know that there is a way to turn off ads. Also the ads are mostly in Chinese version of the phone only. Bloatware is easy to uninstall and there are tutorials for that too.

            If you can't manage all of this then dont blame it on software that is not the problem. User is always the problem who is too dumb to use internet to find solution to fix the problems they face

              I have not seen the charging in the notification par like in this video, but then again i dont think i have used phone when it's charging too.

                  Was the widget picker updated or still the same old ugly design?

                    Mike4, 15 Mar 2024Sold my poco x6 Pro because of this OS, got all my money ba... moreDude, the Pixel is in a different league altogether. Not right to compare with X6 Pro

                      iOS+one Ui = this!

                        Xiaomi doesn't have problem with speed or fluidity. Their biggest software problem is stability and constancy.

                            PanRT, 15 Mar 2024Are you seriously comparing Poco to pixel 8 pro?Why not to compare? Poco hardware is miles better than on Pixel. I could said the opposite about software though.

                                Whatever the case, these phones overheat and turn off benchmarks and apps, shut down the camera app, etc. At least that's what I saw in a few reviews and battery tests and have been seeing stuff like this since the Mi 11 Ultra. Kind of a shame really. These flagships are great cameraphones but when pushed they sh*t their pants, even Samsung doesn't do that. Yikes.

                                Anyways HyperOS seems quite promising and hopefully this will either make them motivated enough to or at least allow them to push out updates faster. No need to be fast, just try to improve and be faster than before. Apart from the Control Center everything seems pretty nice and updates are minor but overall add up. HyperOS seems legit but only time will tell if it'll continue MiUI's tradition of bugs with updates and stuff, gonna find that out in the long term reviews.

                                  No issues on 11 Lite NE other than the still occuring boot-looping
                                  Since the update it occured only today (I think)

                                    Loved the snappy performance of the system, its built-in apps, and switching apps/scrolling feeds. Downside? Easily standby battery performance!

                                      s24 knockoff?

                                        I don’t like the control center style. If new devices no longer offer the classic style, it really sucks. Next think you know, they will remove button navigation and only rely on that gesture navion crap.
