Xiaomi today officially confirmed that a new version of its HyperOS is on the way with a big change under the hood. The announcement came during Xiaomi’s Q1 2026 earnings call, where the company shared strong financial results.
Xiaomi reported total revenue of 99.1 billion yuan and an adjusted net profit of 6.1 billion yuan. The company also said that it is among the top three smartphone brands globally for 23 straight quarters in terms of shipments.
According to Xiaomi, its smartphone business is also moving further into the premium segment. The global average selling price of its smartphones increased by 8.2% year-on-year to reach a new record high. And in mainland China, high-end smartphones now account for 23.5% of Xiaomi’s total smartphone sales.
AI is a big part of HyperOS 4
During the earnings call, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi, said that Xiaomi will continue its high-end and global expansion strategies. He also touts artificial intelligence as a major focus for the company’s future smartphone plans.
Lu says AI is the biggest growth opportunity for the smartphone industry, and Xiaomi is determined to reshape its phone business around it. He also mentions that the merger of “AI” and “miclaw” this year will be an important milestone for the company.
miclaw is Xiaomi’s autonomous AI assistant for smartphones. It can carry out tasks across apps and system features.
More importantly for users, Lu confirms that Xiaomi will release a “new generation” of operating system in either July or August this year. While he did not directly mention the name, it’s safe to assume it’s the HyperOS 4.
According to earlier information, Xiaomi’s next-generation system may replace parts of its current framework with a self-developed native architecture. At the same time, Xiaomi is expected to keep native Android services for now to avoid app compatibility problems.
