Xiaomi HyperOS 3 Update Brings Chinese New Year Watermarks

As the Year of the Dragon festivities kick off in China, Xiaomi has given its camera app a festive twist with three new limited-time camera watermarks for devices running HyperOS 3. These themed overlays add a holiday vibe to your photos. But keep in mind, this new addition isn’t permanent. The Chinese tech giant is only offering these special watermarks for a limited time.

These are currently region-exclusive and available in devices running on the latest HyperOS 3 build. The new watermarks lean into traditional Chinese New Year symbolism and are designed to give your snapshots an auspicious feel. There are three new options available, which include:

  • Red Koi Fish: A vibrant red koi motif that represents luck, perseverance, and prosperity, with its tail elegantly arched in motion.
  • Traditional Lion Dance: A stylized lion dance figure that reflects classic folk customs, embodying celebration and joyful energy.
  • Horse + Ruyi Pattern: A horse motif intertwined with the auspicious ruyi pattern, symbolizing good fortune and balance.

Notably, these designs aren’t just static overlays. Xiaomi’s camera product manager notes that they can be customized and tweaked within the camera settings to fit your shots and personal aesthetic. Xiaomi is only making them available from February 10 through March 9. Unfortunately, the Chinese New Year watermarks aren’t currently available on global HyperOS builds and are specific to devices in China.
