Xiaomi has officially introduced HyperOS 2 alongside the Xiaomi 15 series in China, marking a significant advancement in its software ecosystem. The company describes HyperOS 2 as “a solid step towards a full AI ecosystem.”
Last week, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group, emphasized three key innovations in HyperOS 2: HyperCore, HyperConnect, and HyperAI, each designed to enhance the user experience across various devices.
HyperOS 2 Overview
HyperOS 2 introduces three core technological innovations specifically tailored for Mainland China: HyperCore, HyperConnect, and HyperAI. These advancements offer a fresh, advanced experience in fundamental functionality, cross-device smart connectivity, and AI interactions.
Xiaomi HyperCore: Powerful System Performance
HyperCore is the foundational technology behind HyperOS 2, providing enhanced system performance and stability.
Earlier this year, Xiaomi assembled a dedicated team of over 3,000 engineers to optimize over 25,000 scenarios, culminating in the development of Xiaomi HyperCore. This proprietary core technology platform improves performance, graphics, network capabilities, and security.
The HyperCore kernel introduces an in-house microarchitecture scheduler, which analyzes instruction pipelines directly from the chip’s architecture. This optimization reduces CPU idle time by 19% by improving task cycles and memory latency.
With Xiaomi’s new dynamic memory and Storage 2.0, the Xiaomi 15 series, powered by HyperCore, offers ultra-fast app launch speeds, low gaming power consumption, and unrivaled smoothness even in intensive scenarios.
Key Features of HyperOS 2
HyperOS 2 introduces several innovative features aimed at improving user interaction:
- AI-Powered Lock Screen: A dynamic, movie-like lock screen uses AI to create personalized wallpapers.
- Revamped Desktop Layout: A redesigned desktop includes visual upgrades and customizable content, enhancing widget selection.
- Dynamic Effects Across Screens: Users enjoy smooth transitions when interacting with notifications or navigating the interface.
- 3D Real-Time Weather System: The new weather feature simulates real atmospheric conditions, enhancing user engagement.
- Enhanced Smartwatch Experience: HyperOS 2 extends to smartwatches, improving dial aesthetics and overall user experience.
- New Control Center for TVs: HyperOS 2-powered TVs feature multiple themes and a new control center for streamlined device operation.
Xiaomi HyperConnect: Seamless Connectivity and Compatibility
HyperOS 2, powered by HyperConnect, enables seamless, real-time integration across the Xiaomi ecosystem. With the “Home Screen+” feature, users can drag phone apps onto Xiaomi tablets or add them as native apps. HyperConnect also supports dual-camera streaming between Xiaomi tablets and phones.
Notably, HyperConnect is now fully compatible with Apple devices in Mainland China, thanks to Xiaomi Interconnectivity Services. This allows Apple users to browse files, share photos, and access Keynote, Pages, and Numbers files on Xiaomi devices, facilitating fluid productivity across ecosystems.
Performance Improvements Across Devices
The latest HyperOS 2 update brings significant performance upgrades:
- Smartphones: App launch delays are reduced by up to 54.9%, enhancing gaming smoothness by cutting frame rate drops by 13.2%.
- Tablets: App launch delays decrease by 15%, with background noise minimized by 24%, improving multitasking capabilities.
- TVs: Touch responsiveness improves by 15%, with app launch delays and remote control signal delays reduced by 5% and 13%, respectively.
- Smartwatches: Heart rate measurement accuracy rises by 25%, while third-party app launch speeds improve by 23%, enhancing overall system fluency by 38%.
Xiaomi HyperAI: Redefining an Intelligent System Experience
Embedded within HyperOS 2, Xiaomi HyperAI enhances the AI experience with user-friendly functions, creating a dynamic, ever-evolving interaction.
HyperAI offers a transformative aesthetic experience by using AI to analyze depth in user-selected videos frame by frame, creating cinematic depth effects on lock screens. Additionally, with AI-Generated Content (AIGC), static wallpapers of cities, plants, and more can be animated instantly.
HyperOS 2 reshapes system applications with AI, enhancing productivity and usability. AI writing tools allow users to quickly refine or extend text on-screen, while AI sound recognition enables transcribing and identifying speaker-specific audio in calls, recordings, or meeting apps, generating accurate summaries.
AI subtitles provide real-time translation and interpretation in meetings, significantly improving cross-language communication. On Xiaomi tablets, the “AI Art” function within Mi Canvas can transform sketches into customized artwork, unlocking new creative possibilities.
Advanced AI Features in HyperOS 2
Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 incorporates powerful AI tools to enhance the user experience:
- AI Magic Painting: Offers seven styles of fine-tuning for character posture images, allowing users to regenerate images through partial modifications.
- Global AI Voice Recognition: Real-time text conversion during recordings enables automatic summaries for efficient content review.
- Global AI Writing: Tools for text generation, summarization, and error correction streamline writing tasks.
- Global AI Translation: Enables real-time bilingual subtitles and simultaneous interpretation, enhancing cross-language communication.
- Video Gesture Effects: Users can trigger special effects during video calls through gestures for personalization.
- AI Anti-Fraud Protection: HyperOS 2 includes an AI-driven feature to alert users about potential scam calls or face-swapping videos.
Strengthened Security and Privacy in HyperOS 2
HyperOS 2 integrates a comprehensive security framework, ensuring user data protection:
- Rigorous Security Standards: Adheres to strict measures to protect data across all devices.
- End-to-End Encryption: Ensures confidentiality through encryption on cloud and endpoint devices.
