Xiaomi’s new operating system, HyperOS, aims to provide a unified platform for connecting various personal devices, cars and smart home products. This signals Xiaomi’s strategic move towards creating cohesive ecosystem where users can seamlessly integrate and control their interconnected devices. The introduction of HyperOS is in line with the broader industry trend of developing complete ecosystems that enhance the user experience across multiple devices.
HyperOS is built on five foundational pillars emphasizing system-level optimization, interconnectivity, active intelligence, privacy and security, and an open platform. These pillars collectively aim to improve performance and user experience across domains by ensuring seamless integration, intelligent operation, privacy protection, and an open environment for further customization and development. The emphasis on these aspects reflects Xiaomi’s commitment to providing a holistic and user-centric operating system.
HyperOS performance details
HyperOS demonstrates remarkable performance improvements by using the open source Xiaomi Vela. With a 14% reduction in response latency, a 17% improvement in message delivery latency, and a 16% improvement in task switching, the operating system prioritizes peak performance while effectively managing power consumption. This optimization is facilitated by the implementation of Apache 2.0. These performance improvements are intended to provide users with a more responsive and efficient multi-tasking experience.
In addition, HyperOS includes precise load estimation capabilities. It comprehensively analyzes thread connections to provide accurate CPU load estimates. This feature ensures that system resources are used efficiently, contributing to a more balanced and responsive user experience.
It improves the user experience by delivering faster performance, achieving up to a 14% reduction in average latency on mission critical tasks. It also significantly reduces the maximum scheduling delay for such tasks by 72%. This optimization provides smoother operation and responsiveness, especially for core functions.
In addition, lightweight devices benefit from a 14% reduction in interrupt response delay, a 17% reduction in message delivery delay, and a 16% reduction in task switching delay, according to Xiaomi Internal Labs. These improvements contribute to more responsive and efficient operation on devices with limited resources.
HyperOS brings a significant reduction in system storage requirements for smartphones compared to MIUI 14, offering a streamlined 9.14GB as opposed to the previous 12.35GB. This optimization allows users to have more available storage for their apps, files and other content on their devices.
HyperOS reduces system storage consumption
What’s more, HyperOS delivers smooth I/O (Input/Output) performance with near-zero latency, ensuring consistent performance over a 50-month period. The system also improves over-the-air (OTA) updates, reducing OTA busyness by an impressive 79% and shortening OTA update times by 24%. This contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly update experience for Xiaomi device users.
HyperOS prioritizes customization with its living design philosophy. It introduces a new lock screen design with multiple customization options.
