Xiaomi is reportedly preparing to launch the next version of its Android-based operating system, expected to be named either HyperOS 3 or HyperOS 26. The new OS is likely to debut in the coming months alongside its next-generation flagship phones. Prior to this, the company rolled out a HyperOS 2 update in China, introducing new photo editing features, AI tools, and performance improvements.
The Photos app now supports AI Matting 2.0, which lets users cut out subjects more accurately and replace backgrounds with dynamic effects like time, location, or weather-based scenes. Group photos can be edited with smart beauty filters. The app also adds support for animated stickers, layout collages, and custom templates.
AI photo sorting has been added. Photos are now grouped by people, time, or location. Users can search with phrases like “May trip” or “wedding photos,” and the system pulls up relevant images. The new Memory Album feature auto-creates photo stories using this data.
Photo editing tools have also improved. Users can now fine-tune colors, apply filters, and adjust parameters more quickly. The crop function is also getting a fix in the next patch.
Performance issues are being addressed. The status bar and gesture guide now appear without delay when returning to the home screen from some apps. UI transitions are smoother.
Photos and videos backed up to Xiaomi Cloud now retain their original quality. The new layout allows users to view and manage cloud-stored files in the same gallery view. Users can also check backup status and data usage in real time.
The new HyperOS 2 update also upgrades file browsing and multi-device use. Photos can be searched and sent between devices faster. Shared albums now sync between Xiaomi phones, tablets, and TVs.
A new Smart Service dashboard has been added. It shows photo storage stats, duplicate files, and phone usage patterns. It also gives suggestions to free up space.
The update is being released gradually to supported models in China. It is currently unclear when these new features will arrive on devices outside of China.
