What’s new in HyperOS 3?
HyperOS 3 builds upon the HyperCore technology, which was introduced last year. With the latest advancements, the CPU load has been reduced by 4% and the energy efficiency has improved by 10%. Additionally, the frame loss rate is claimed to have been reduced by 18.9%.
The latest software introduces a hot-swappable scheduling mechanism and a fully enabled graphics scheduling link, which brings notable improvements to gaming, including a 21% improvement in app launch speed, a 10% improvement in video playback, and a 9% reduction in touch response latency.
Xiaomi claims to have optimized over 100 system animations, resulting in a more fluid and responsive software experience.
Talking about visual upgrades, HyperOS 3 introduces Xiaomi Super Island — a new dynamic hub for monitoring multiple live activities and notifications. This feature supports over 70 integrated services. It also brings AI dynamic wallpapers that can automatically apply depth effects, redesigned icons, and desktop grids.
Additionally, there are cinematic lock screens and a single interface to edit lock screens and wallpapers. The Photo Album is updated with intelligent search and automatically curated Pet Albums.
HyperOS 3 enhances the device’s intelligence with AI upgrades. The Super XiaoAi Assistant gets on-screen content awareness. This means it can analyse what’s being displayed on the screen and provide answers based on that. Furthermore, you can now circle on-screen content to trigger instant actions such as search, translation, or sharing. It works similarly to Google’s Circle to Search.
Xiaomi has also worked on improving the interconnectivity between devices across ecosystems. With HyperOS 3, Xiaomi phone users can open mobile app windows (up to 3) on their Mac. The phone can now be unlocked via Touch ID or Face ID. Users can also seamlessly share files and view photos on an iPhone.
As always, there’s something to privacy and security. Xiaomi adds two-factor authentication login for multi-device account login, enhanced data protection, and better control over app permissions. Xiaomi says users can locate their lost devices even if they are powered off.
