Earlier today, Xiaomi held a launch event unveiling its latest flagship line of smartphones called the Xiaomi 15 series, alongside the Pad 7 series tablets and other devices. The brand has also debuted its latest Android 15-based operating system called HyperOS 2, designed to make everyday tasks easier by creating a smooth link between smartphones, TVs, wearables, cars, and home devices. We have provided the key highlights of this new operating system below.
Boosting Performance and Graphics
The backbone of HyperOS 2 is Xiaomi HyperCore, a new system platform built from the ground up. Xiaomi has made changes to improve how the system handles tasks, manages memory, and processes inputs, all with the goal of making devices run faster and more efficiently.
On the graphics side, Xiaomi has redesigned how images are processed. It now uses a method called heterogeneous computing, which splits tasks across different types of processors. This will give users smoother visuals, especially when playing games or watching videos.
Stronger and Seamless Connections
Xiaomi has also worked on improving the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G connections on its devices, ensuring users stay connected without sudden drops, whether they’re on a call, gaming, or streaming content.
One standout feature is Xiaomi HyperConnect, which allows different Xiaomi devices to sync easily with one another. Users will be able to switch between their phone, TV, or smartwatch without interruption. File transfers are now 33% faster, while latency issues—like delays in signal transmission—have been reduced by 54%.
AI Features to Simplify Daily Life
HyperOS 2 is packed with new AI-powered tools that aim to make using devices more personal and interactive. The dynamic wallpapers change throughout the day based on your behavior, and movie-like lock screens give your phone a more lively look. TVs are also getting smart screensavers that update based on your preferences.
HyperOS 2 has smooth dynamic animations, as well as a 3D real-time dynamic weather system built with a real atmospheric model to provide users with a more immersive experience.
A new personal assistant, Super XiaoAi, helps users with small but frequent tasks. It can autofill personal information, remind users of appointments, and even complete certain chores based on your routines. If you need to find specific files or photos, Super Xiaoai can search across all your devices with just a voice command.
In addition, AI Magic Painting allows users to adjust photos using different styles or make small edits by referencing character poses. Other AI tools make productivity easier: real-time voice-to-text transcription, automatic translations during meetings or video calls, and gesture-based effects that enhance video calls.
To keep users safe, the system includes AI fraud detection to identify scam calls or altered videos before they can cause harm.
Stronger Security
Xiaomi has added chip-based security systems to make sure devices are protected at both the hardware and software levels. The company promises strict privacy controls, with encryption for both cloud and on-device data, ensuring that users’ information stays safe.
Cross-Ecosystem Device Integration
To make switching between devices as smooth as possible, HyperOS 2 includes the updated Wonderful Desktop 2.0 allows users to run apps across multiple devices. For example, users can start a task on their phone and finish it on their TV or computer without needing to reinstall the app.
The system is also compatible with Apple devices, meaning iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks can connect easily to Xiaomi products. Installing Xiaomi Internet Service on Apple devices makes it simple to transfer files, open documents, or access Xiaomi’s Mi Desktop on a Mac.
Smart wearables are getting an upgrade too, with gesture controls that let users activate connected home devices with a snap of their fingers. This feature makes controlling smart devices more natural and easy.
Expanded Entertainment and Streaming Options
HyperOS 2.0 offers new live-streaming capabilities. Cross-Device Camera 2.0 allows users to stream video from two devices simultaneously, suitable for activities like gaming, exercise, or teaching online. TV users can now use picture-in-picture mode, which allows them to watch content while using other apps or even while working out.
Xiaomi’s latest devices come pre-loaded with this operating system, and the brand plans to roll out the update to older devices starting November 2024.
