Everything you want to know about the HyperOS 4 update.

The new HyperCore system and Memory Preloading system optimize processing loads (reducing system resource consumption to keep open tasks running) by up to 14.4%, resulting in improved performance across all applications.

Memory Preloading now anticipates applications you'll open in the future, increasing available RAM by 27.2%. This translates to faster program launch and loading times.

📈The tangible benefits include up to 90% smoother browsing in resource-intensive applications like the Gallery, and improved battery efficiency through reduced processor load.

😑The drawbacks: Unfortunately, these features rely on complex algorithms that require fast, modern processors to fully utilize them. Therefore, their benefit will be limited on older, budget phones.

A radical visual overhaul inspired by iOS 26, based on frosted glass layers and dynamic light refractions. The new HyperOS 4 interface abandons the old flat designs, featuring icons and reflections that come alive. Menus, the control panel, and the notification center now have a matte, transparent glass texture with dynamic light refractions that react to the screen background.

The weather app has also been redesigned, offering zoomable folders and fully customizable edge drag.

📈Advantages: Visually appealing and stylish notifications on the lock screen, with the ability to freely resize clocks and widgets.

😑Disadvantages: These transparent visual effects will consume a significant amount of GPU processing power, potentially generating heat in some scenarios.

HyperIsland has been enhanced to include over 130 apps, integrating the MiMo AI model.

The HyperIsland has expanded to the top of the screen, displaying real-time connection status, live navigation, and calls. It also features a "Symbol Island" for quickly saving numbers and QR codes.

In parallel, Xiaomi has added the MiAi AI assistant with capabilities to transcribe voice recordings into structured text, create mind maps, and intelligently organize to-do lists within system apps.

📈Advantages: Significant time savings in completing tasks and tracking live services without opening apps, all within HyperIsland.

😑Disadvantages: Some advanced AI features may remain exclusive to specific languages or versions for certain markets at the initial launch of the interface, such as China, India, Russia, and Indonesia.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi has set a strict requirement to benefit from all the advanced visual and graphical effects:
The device must have a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a Dimensity 9500 processor, a Xiaomi Xring O1 chip, or a newer model.

Current devices:
Xiaomi devices:
The entire Xiaomi 17 series, the Xiaomi 15 series, and the Xiaomi 14 series,
In addition to the foldable phones Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 and MIX Flip 2.

Redmi and Poco devices:
The entire Redmi K90 and K80 Pro series, and the Poco F7 and Poco F8 Ultra phones.

📈Advantages: These devices will experience a noticeable increase in speed, along with the full glass visual experience and transparency effects, and improved memory stability and processing speed.

😑Disadvantages: Many devices will be negatively affected or will be deprived of updates, especially mid-range and budget phones, and older devices.

The update is clearly aimed at devices with the new, powerful processors, while the new mid-range devices will receive a smaller update that brings system philosophy, speed, memory performance, and performance improvements, but will add all the features of Liquid Glass to all applications, as well as artificial intelligence.
