Xiaomi has brought about an subtle yet refined visual transformation with the forthcoming HyperOS 3 update with the new folder interruption animation to increase the smoothness and flow of the user interface. The announcement comes from the popular Chinese technology blogger @MT with the revelation that this development is part of the ongoing user interface enhancement that has been noticed in the latest versions of Xiaomi’s operating system. If you want to try new launcher animations, please wait new APK release. It will be available on HyperOSUpdates.com.
Available on All Devices Supporting HyperOS 3
As stated in the blog post, this new feature is not found exclusively on the latest Xiaomi flagships such as Xiaomi 16 and Redmi K80 Ultra. Rather, it is accessible to all devices qualified to receive the HyperOS 3 update. This means that those people who still use old but supported smartphones such as Xiaomi 14T and Redmi Note 13 Pro are also entitled to take advantage of the enhanced folder transition animations.
The animation makes opening the folder more seamless with smooth interruption and closure; this is Xiaomi’s aim to provide a unified and elegant user interface to its whole ecosystem.
Gaussian Blur and Theme Customization
When enquiring about the ‘Gaussian blur effect’ on smaller folders in themes, the blogger explained that this feature ‘already exists’, albeit with the activation ‘dependent on the implementation’ by the theme developer. This means that designers who use the HyperConnect design framework by Xiaomi get to implement more creativity in terms of the level of blur/download effect on the background of the folder.
This flexibility in design highlights Xiaomi’s increasing emphasis on user experience and personalization, as each device that features HyperOS has a distinct feel to it.
What’s Next for HyperOS 3
The HyperOS 3 update is another move by Xiaomi aimed at perfecting the speeds and animations on the gesture interface. Xiaomi has taken yet another step to ensure that it offers a more dynamic and coherent visual look with this latest folder animation.

The Source of the Bug
The problem cropped up after users expanded the Super Island and then turned the screens off on their phones. The effect was that instead of fading away as required, the island element was retained and ended up hindering the AOD function. The Xiaomi team referred to this issue as an issue related to screen-off animations and AOD rendering layers.
How the Fix Works
The solution ensures that whenever the user locks the phone after opening the Island, the Always-On Display is displayed as intended without any overlay issue. The Super Island as well as Music Island will be automatically concealed.
Xiaomi’s Continuous Software Improvement
Part of this solution is to optimize dynamic user interfaces that are promoted with the advent of HyperOS. The more that Super Island and Music Island features develop further, the more the operating environments that come with Xiaomi smartphones are dynamically adaptive.
The proactive measures taken by the company ensure that even smaller bugs are taken care of quickly—retaining its fame for smooth performance and smart design on all devices.
Tianma has recently launched its very first display with built-in NFC capabilities that combines the touch and NFC modules in one layer. The firm boasts that its new display offers an impressive 3cm air contact sensitivity that lets people interact with an NFC system without touching it. Information about such technology was shared on the company’s WeChat account and soon caught the attention of the smartphone market, particularly Xiaomi that is always the first to integrate latest display technology features from popular manufacturers.
Revolutionary Design: Touch + NFC in One Panel
In Tianma’s explanation, the display employs an integrated touch+NFC architecture that allows parallel operations—that is, NFC card transactions can be carried out even when the display is in active use. The display employs time-sharing drive algorithms to ensure that touch and NFC operations are carried out without disruptions.
This technology has the potential to unlock new use cases in smartphones, tablets, and smart home appliances since Near Field Communications transactions like money transfers, entry functions, and data sharing can be possible on the surface.
How It Could Help Xiaomi Devices
If Xiaomi chooses to implement such technology in the Xiaomi 16 series and Redmi K80 Ultras in the future, user convenience and product design are likely to be greatly improved. The slim and lightweight design that the technology boasts is perfectly in line with the engineering requirements that Xiaomi has set within its HyperConnect ecosystem to facilitate seamless connectivity between devices.
This team’s “air contact response” may also redefine experiences with Xiaomi Pay and Mi Wallet, whereby consumers would be capable of making payments by hovering over the terminals with phones. These will be faster and more hygienic compared to current touch-sensitive technologies.
Beyond smartphones – Extending to Smart Homes and Industries
Other than displaying on phones, Tianma’s display Find application in access control systems, conference card reader terminals, and public transport terminals. As Xiaomi extends its smart home offerings with offerings such as Xiaomi Smart Door Locks and Mijia control panels, this display might enable more seamless HyperConnect experiences.
The smartphone industry has always shown tremendous pace in terms of advancement and development, be it in terms of technology and advancements or in terms of design identities. Around 2018-2019, models such as Xiaomi, Redmi, and Mi had come up with some of the most striking and fascinating smartphones that had been produced until then. Examples include Xiaomi Mi A2, Redmi Note 7, Mi 8 SE, and Mi 9, which had striking red colors and mesmerizing gradient finishes that are referred to as the “art of reflection.” Devices during that time, like the Redmi Note 7, were more than just colorful; they sold over 20 million units within the first seven months. But with the evolution of the 12, 13, 14, and soon 15 series from Xiaomi, this colorful trend has gradually disappeared. The answer to that question is more than just a trend; it lies within the depths of a massive market shift that has been spawned by psychology and the new Xiaomi brand ideology.
From Fiery Reds to Elegant Tones: The Maturity of Color
Red was previously linked to energy and uniqueness in the Xiaomi design ethos but later became characteristic of mid-range devices instead. Products such as Redmi Note 6 Pro and Mi 8 SE incorporated energetic red hues to entice more young buyers. However, the “fun” and “playful” strategy started to feel outdated in the higher end segment since more customers began to favor “elegance” over “fun.” Apple’s (PRODUCT)RED initiative was instrumental in redefining the meaning of this color in the sector. Rather than focusing on red as a mainstream color option, Apple chose to highlight it as a Special Edition color that was tied to giving back to society.
Today, red has managed to transition from being one of the mainstream color options to something that symbolizes luxury in the niche sector that Xiaomi operates in. In terms of CMF (Color, Material, Finish) in 2025, there was a trend towards mature colors such as Burgundy and Cherry Red that embody ‘sophistication’ rather than ‘exuberance.’ These colors tend to be less about ‘youthful’happiness and more about ‘embodied
“Reflection Art,” the Era of Minimalism Concludes; “Minimalism Equals Luxury”
The end to gradient finishes and reflective backs is more about the bigger design trend shift. The Mi 9 or Mi 11 models had “reflection art” designs with complex gradients, whereas more recent releases such as Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 13 opted for more subtle matte finishes. What constitutes luxury today is the hallmark of minimalism. In fact, research has found that consumers believe that clean lines, neutral colors, and simple surfaces are an indicator of higher quality and more authenticity. Conversely, gaudy designs are subconsciously associated with lower-cost items that are trying to “mask” inferior quality.
Not to mention that this perfectly correlates with the aim to set the latest devices – particularly Xiaomi 14 and 15 series – side by side with those of Apple and Samsung among others within the elite segment. Then there is Xiaomi’s collaboration with Leica that has further strengthened this move by blending classic camera-inspired minimalism with superior craftsmanship.
Xiaomi and Leica – The Redefinition of High-End Brand Identity
The partnership between Xiaomi and Leica marks one of the most dramatic design shifts that Xiaomi has undergone. The Leica brand has managed to establish itself over one hundred years with its focus on precision engineering and minimalist design. In adapting the Leica design, Xiaomi has had to move away from the gradient colors that defined its brand identity. The impact can be seen in contemporary flagships such as the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, adorned with PU leather finishes, metallic bodies, and camera-oriented designs that take inspiration from Leica’s vintage models. The emphasis has shifted from “how the device shines” to “what the device represents,” symbolizing ‘craftsmanship’ and ‘excellence’ in imaging.
Looking Ahead: The Psychology of Calm Design
In the current world that is visually overstimulated, consumers want to feel calm and comforted rather than visually pleased. This is the reason behind the adoption of wellness-inspired color themes such as Peach Fuzz, Mocha Mousse, and others pastel colors that are more inclined to emotional wellness. A smartphone has shifted from being an ‘excitement device’ to an ‘extension of lifestyle and calmness’. Xiaomi’s current CMF strategy fully adopts this trend. The brand’s move from colored plastic to more mature materials such as matte glass, titanium, and leather constitutes the entire industry’s change to more timeless designs.
The absence of vivid colors in smartphones is rather an indicator of design maturity and has nothing to do with creativity. Xiaomi’s transformation from the colorful Redmi Note 7 to the Leica-designed Xiaomi 15 Ultra is an indicator that the brand has matured over the years.
In today’s world, premium minimalism, visual wellness, and strategic collaborations are what drive true value every day, not bright colors. A war of color has transformed itself to be about calmness, class, and craftsmanship.
The past decade has seen Xiaomi transform from a fast follower to a true pioneer in the area of smartphone camera technology. While the Mi 8’s camera setup was modest enough, the brand has come a long way to produce Leica-designed wonders such as Xiaomi 14 Ultra. This extensive study identifies eight groundbreaking technologies that brought about a change in Xiaomi’s camera perspective—from pixel race to sensor technology, ISP development, and AI technology. Learn about how Xiaomi has made its way to the list of most-technologically-advanced smartphone camera brands. Related reading:
The Megapixel Milestone: Mi Note 10 & The Era Of “All-Scenario” Photography
The Mi Note 10 (Mi CC9 Pro in China) was the first significant move by Xiaomi in the international photography arena with the world’s first 108MP penta-camera solution. A joint development with Samsung, the 1/1.33-inch HMX camera sensor producedGroundbreaking pixel count—12 times higher definition than 4K. But there was more to the story; Xiaomi brought with it the “All-Scenario” ideology that combined five distinct camera lenses to cater to all photography requirements—wide to macro. Though this technology was revolutionary in terms of capturing details, it also made Xiaomi realize the limits of image processing; hence, the company embarked on developing its own imaging processor to reduce dependence on others.
Imaging Independence: The Surge C1 ISP
The Mi Mix Fold was accompanied in the market by the Surge C1 ISP; this was the first proprietary ISP that Xiaomi had come up with. The ISP aimed to boost the “Holy Trinity” functions in imaging processing; these include Auto Focus (AF), Auto Exposure (AE), and Auto White Balance (AWB). The Surge C1 processor had dual filters with double signal efficiency. Thus, by controlling the imaging pipeline, Xiaomi was able to hone its camera signature—towards establishing the technology basis for Leica Authentic and Vibrant models that later became standard in its flagships.
Breaking Boundaries – Periscope Zoom Technology in Mi 10 Ultra
Xiaomi set the standard to be “Ultra” with Mi 10 Ultra. Equipped with 48MP 1/2.0-inch Periscope Sensor with 120mm telephoto reach and 120x digital zoom, this device was already breaking boundaries with telephoto camera imaging. In contrast to other devices that had to settle with lower-quality secondary cameras, this company made sure that every camera in this device was outstanding—aptly called “Zoom King” by DXOMark. “This model has transformed the camera philosophy of Xiaomi to ‘no compromise on the lenses’.
Mechanical Innovation: The Liquid Lens
Redefining the boundaries of optical technology, Xiaomi launched the world’s first smartphone Liquid Lens with the Mi Mix Fold smartphone. Notably designed to mimic the function and structure of the human eye, the bionic lens was capable of adjusting its curvature to enable telephoto and macro photography within milliseconds. The technology was particularly essential in addressing the space constraints presented by folding smartphones.
The One-Inch Era: Sony IMX 989 and Co-Development
The Xiaomi 12S Ultra was the first phone to use the 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor uncut—a joint development with Sony in a $15 million R&D investment. The collaboration was the dawn of a new era—Xiaomi was no longer assembling components; rather, they began to copartner in imaging hardware design to produce professional photography. The outcome? A new industry standard for natural depth, low light sensitivity, and sensor efficiency.
Leica Partnership—When Art and Engineering Converge
The collaboration in 2022 between Xiaomi and Leica further reinforced the brand identity in terms of camera capabilities. From Xiaomi 12S Ultra onwards, customers enjoyed the features of Leica Authentic and Vibrant, the Summicron lens’ perfect focus, and Leica’s exclusive visual storytelling expertise that fills the gap between technical photography and artistic storytelling. Through this collaboration, Xiaomi was transformed from “a company that innovates in hardware to one that influences camera culture.”
Adaptive Aperture and AI Focus: Intelligent Photography
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra and 14 Ultra brought variable aperture (f/1.63-4.0) features to allow manual camera adjustments to depth-of-field effect properties. They further featured Xiaomi ProFocus with impressive AI-powered technologies that supported accurate motion and eye tracking capabilities similar to those found on professional Sony Alpha camera models. These achievements placed Xiaomi in a leading position within AI optical engineering.
The Future of Xiaomi Imaging
From 108MP cameras to joint development with Leica cameras and Surge processors, the camera development trajectory of Xiaomi exemplifies a move from spec war to sense perfection. In each successive version, there has been an increase in vertical integration to redefine boundaries in camera technology. In the current era of camera technology with AI, computational optics and neural enhancement are areas that.

Xiaomi Could Redefine the Rules for Batteries in Mid-Range The technology involving batteries in smartphones is continually improving, with Chinese vendors attempting to break the barrier beyond 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh batteries. Reliable sources within the industry, as well as popular leakster @DigitalChatStation, indicate that there has been the completion of the trial molding process and that there is imminent mass production with regard to the new 10,000mAh± battery. It is most likely that Xiaomi and Redmi are set to use this revolutionary battery in one of their forthcoming mid-range handsets.
Xiaomi’s Plan to Take Over the Batteries Revolution
Xiaomi has always emphasized energy efficiency and battery life in its products. The development of a 10,000mAh-class battery is therefore an important milestone in making smartphones with more extended battery life a reality; that has been one area that people are particularly eager to see gained in smartphones. That technology is anticipated to appear in a Redmi product.
This development marks Xiaomi’s willingness to strike a balance between capacity and design usability since packing such a 10,000mAh capacity battery is technically challenging in terms of weight and thermals.
What We Know about Future Models
As per DigitalChatStation, there are two smartphones that will come with 10,000mAh± batteries. The devices include one with the Dimensity 8500 processor and another with the Snapdragon 7 series processor and 6.8-inch 1.5K LTPS flat display. While there are no confirmations on these models yet, it has been suggested that one might be from Xiaomi’s Redmi series since it might be designed to be an “Ultra Battery” version.
But surprisingly, there will be no wireless charging in either device. This ensures that the devices’ battery life and affordable price will continue to thrive in the mid-range segment.
The Era of 10,000mAh Batteries has Arrived
The entry of smartphones with five-digit battery capacity marks the beginning of a massive change in the industry. Historically speaking, such capacities were only seen on rugged smartphones and power banks. The entry of Xiaomi in this segment might popularize battery capacity with such dimensions, giving the company yet another reason to be counted among the best in terms of battery life. This technology will definitely provide Xiaomi with a strong edge over its competitors.
Additionally, with HyperOS optimizing background processes and hardware resources, users would be able to enjoy unequaled stand-by times and all-day intensive use without recharging.
What happened to Black Shark, this one-time ambitious gaming-smartphone sub-brand owned by Xiaomi, is a question on every fan’s mind. The question is: “Is Black Shark bankrupt?” or “Why are there no new models coming out?” What happened is actually much more complex than even this. Black Shark Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is, in fact, still operating. However, Black Shark’s mobile phone business basically stopped in 2023 because it failed in acquiring $459 million worth of stocks in Tencent. Such a failure resulted in it ceasing all developments for flagship models such as Black Shark 6.
The Fall of a Gaming Titan
Black Shark was established in 2017. Its goal was to conquer the mobile gaming market through superior hardware capabilities and innovative designs. However, this was until 2022 when Tencent Holdings made a bid to acquire Black Shark in a bid to create a VR/AR hardware business unit. This partnership would ensure Black Shark’s future and position it for success in the metaverse age.
Unfortunately, this purchase was cancelled in May 2022 due to a failure to gain approval by Chinese officials. This resulted in layoffs, unpaid salaries, and closing down their Smartphone Research and Development Division.
Reasons Why Black Shark 6 Never Came
The Black Shark 5 Series, launched in March 2022, was the last flagship series for this brand. The supposed successor to this line, Black Shark 6, was canceled due to it losing both funds and human resources because of the failed deal with Tencent. By early 2023, More than 90% of Black Shark’s staff have been let go, thus ceasing all phone production.
The main investor in this brand, Xiaomi, did not get involved, presumably due to their own restructuring process and competition with POCO and Xiaomi T-series models. Consequently, Black Shark’s business in smartphones has de-facto ceased to exist.
The New Black Shark: From Phones to Accessories
Although Black Shark failed in the smartphone market, it has been revived with a new orientation. Black Shark now manufactures different gaming accessories for enhancing gaming experiences, such as:
Black Shark GT3 Neo Smartwatch
Black Shark Pad 6 Tablet
FunCooler 4 Pro Cooling Fan
Black Shark Blade 2 Power Bank (10000mAh)
Green Ghost Gamepad Controller
Such a shift towards low-cost, high-margin peripherals will ultimately ensure that the “brand will survive with this gaming DNA intact.” Analysts term this process a “ghost brand strategy,” because “existing appreciation will sustain a peripheral business model.”
Final Analysis: A Brand Reborn, Not Bankrupt
Black Shark’s line of smartphones ended with Black Shark 5, but it continues in another role: gaming ecosystem brand. The failed takeover by Tencent, government pressure, and intracompany competition between Xiaomi created a situation that led to this change. Today, the Black Shark line lives on – not as a purveyor of innovative smartphones but as a gaming lifestyle brand in the overall Xiaomi ecosystem.

As long as I can remember, my apartment has been a sort of silent war zone for myself and my loved ones, with dust, odor, and allergens. Despite my personal best efforts to keep everything spick and span, it is clear that I have been fighting a losing battle with undetectable particles in the air. All these reasons prompted me to put my Xiaomi Smart Air Cleaner 4 Pro to test for 30 days. Economically priced models such as 4 Lite and 4 Compact by this popular brand cost below $100.
First Impressions: Design, Setup, and Smart Features
The design is sleek and contemporary with a minimalist aesthetic and a 360-degree intake fan that can be easily incorporated with any decor. The installation process only required about two minutes via the Mi Home app, which allows one to monitor and control air quality and fan speed, ionization, and scheduling.
It is interesting to note that this app is not merely a complement but a companion app. Functions such as screen brightness and ionizer function control cannot be done without it. Those who purchase this innovative product will thus be part of a broader smart ecosystem created by this technology giant called Xiaomi.
The Results: Dust, Odors, and Allergy Solutions
During this 30-day test period, I put the 4 Pro up against three common home problems: odor, dust, and allergies. Odor Control The cooking smells decreased significantly. The purifier’s PM2.5/PM10 sensors sensed and responded to all changes instantly, and the 3-in-1 activated carbon filter eliminated smells in 30 minutes. Allergy Reduction Being a TÜV Rheinland Allergy Care Certified device, this purifier is especially geared towards targeting micro-particles like pollen and dander. I have found relief in congestion issues in a matter of weeks, which is a claim made by several Xiaomi users, who have found this purifier to be a “life changer for all those with allergies.”
Dust Reduction
Although it did work well to purify airborne dust, it is not entirely necessary because, according to specialists, only what is floating in the air will be trapped by purifiers.
Measuring Performance and Energy Efficiency
The Purifier 4 Pro has a Particle CADR of 500 m³/h, cleaning a 40 m² (430 sq. ft.) area in under 15 minutes. According to independent testing, with all models, including even the smallest 4 Lite, it is proven to increase air quality by 95% in smaller rooms. The 4 Pro’s dual PM2.5/PM10 laser sensor enables it to distinguish between various pollutants such as smoke and pollen.
Its energy usage is remarkably low. Its 33W motor is quietly working with little energy even when it’s used for 24 hours non-stop.
The Drawbacks: Auto Mode and Filter Availability
Despite the intentions of Xiaomi’s Auto Mode to adjust fan speeds constantly, I found it to be a bit passive. At times, it would let air quality deteriorate before doing anything. Using custom schedules through Mi Home App worked much better. However, a more concerning issue presented itself: availability of filters. Many consumers struggle finding a replacement filter for particular models, such as 4 Pro. Without these replacement filters, it would be difficult for consumers to have a functional purifier for extended periods.
An Excellent Product with One Critical Fault
After 30 days, I can say without a doubt that there was a difference in air quality. The air in my home even smelled cleaner, and my allergies have disappeared. The Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Pro is on par with brands such as Dyson and Coway — but it is cost-effective. However, it is necessary to verify availability of spare filters locally prior to purchase. Without these, even the best offering from Xiaomi is impossible to sustain.
If you have a means where you can source good filters, then without a doubt, one of the best value-for-money air purifiers out there is the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Pro.

According to Counterpoint Research’s India Smartphone Month Tracker, the Indian smartphone market was tributary to incredible growth in terms of shipments in Q3 2025 (July to September), registering a 5% increase in shipments compared to the same period last year. Also, revenue increased by 18%—the greatest quarterly revenue ever observed in India’s smartphone market.
Although Apple made its first appearance in Indian top-five smartphone brands, Xiaomi & POCO collectively performed better than Apple, emphasizing Indian smartphone giants’ influence.
Combined Market Share of Xiaomi and POCO Surpasses Apple’s
In Counterpoint’s latest market share analysis, Apple maintained a market share of 9% in India because of its iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models. But Xiaomi held an 8% market share, in which POCO accounted for 5%. Also, since POCO belongs to Xiaomi, the total market share generated by Xiaomi’s ecosystem stands at 13
And thus, the Xiaomi Group finds itself in the top three smartphone entities in India, competing directly with giants like Samsung and OPPO. The flagship innovation for affordable pricing provided by Xiaomi and performance-focused youth-centric models provided by POCO are yet again drawing in diverse groups of users.

Xiaomi’s success in India can thus be credited to its “Hyper OS ecosystem,”“local manufacturing,” and “AIoT integration”. The brand continues to set up more manufacturing units in India itself due to its “Make in India” scheme. POCO, a major sub-brand itself, fits into Xiaomi’s vision with its gaming-focused smartphones that value speed. These phones are designed to serve a specific market targeting youth.
In fact, Xiaomi’s car accessory division is not something secondary—it’s actually one of the foundational pillars that define its vision for a broadened ecosystem.

The Stable OTA packages are set to arrive gradually to begin with Xiaomi 14 series and Pad 7 Pro.
Xiaomi’s new approach to its software development aims to coordinate global launches much more closely with those in China,” explained Liu De, emphasizing that international users would benefit from feature parity compared to Chinese users.
With MIUI 6 in 2014, Xiaomi presented a turning point in its approach to software. With its ” Visually Stunning. Stunningly Simple. ” approach to design, MIUI 6 was not merely an interface but a complete overhaul—the sort that occurs when technology meets art. To date, a decade later, the same “code vein” lives on in Xiaomi HyperOS (2025) technology that drives everything from smartphone to tablet to electric vehicles to IoT devices.
MIUI 6’s Minimalist Aesthetic and the Emergence of Xiaomi’s Design Philosophy
Part of the launch with the Android 5.0 Lollipop’s Material Design revolution was when MIUI 6 introduced a flat design. The following UI eliminated features like shadows, textures, or gradients if not essential. The flat design introduced to MIUI 6 was not only based on design but was based on hardware limitations since its introduction to improve GPU performance in devices like MIUI’s Mi 4.
“Less clutter, more focus”: That’s MIUI 6’s design ideology. Today, “minimal intelligence“ remains a design principle in forming HyperOS. But “minimal intelligence” has transformed itself into a more dynamic and natural user interface.
HyperOS and “Alive Design” Revolution
In 2024, Xiaomi reinterpreted its interface design language based on “Alive Design”, which was conceptualized along with famous designer Kenya Hara. Unlike MIUI 6’s static minimal design, Hyper OS seeks to make its interface “come alive.”
In these areas, the following objectives are
Real-time rendering: Light and shadow reflection akin to glass.
Responsive animations: Elements responding naturally to touch and motion.
Nature-inspired colors: these are colours obtained directly or indirectly from nature.
“A perfect example” of this focus on functionality is “the new Weather app, which animates rain, sunlight, and clouds in real-time to create an immersive experience” because “it makes something informative into something aesthetically pleasing,” which increases its
The United Control Center That Withstood Time
One of the most iconic features of MIUI 6 was its unified notification panel. Also, when MIUI 12 introduced a two-part interface (Notifications and Control Center), Xiaomi had a very convincing reason for doing so – 90% of users preferred it that way.
But HyperOS retains this heritage silently. Users can opt to return to the classic unified panel using these steps:
Settings → Notifications & Control Center → Control Center Style.
And to keep its user-friendly ethos alive for those who value integrationlessness over individuation—because Xiaomi does value both innovation and its heritage—there’s a hidden feature in MIUI 6.
Security & Privacy: One of MIUI 6’s Greatest Legacies
MIUI 6 was one of the first Android interfaces to provide integral app permissions, virus protection, and app locker functionality. These features not only remain but are more advanced than ever.
App Lock continues to be an essential feature in Settings> Apps> App Lock. It gets upgraded to include finger or face unlock features.
Security Scan remains focused on detecting malware prior to install, enabled with improved detection engines such as AVL.
HyperOS carries a Privacy Dashboard which provides an entire access overview for data that has happened in the past 24 hours. It traces its roots directly to MIUI 6’s Permission Manager.
“This ever-changing endeavor shows that Xiaomi’s vision lies not only in raising phone-level security but in extending ecosystem security to devices within its “Human x Car x Home” ecosystem.
A Decade of Design Philosophy: From Simplicity to Symbiosis
Upgrading MIUI 6 to Hyper OS does not qualify to be ‘upgraded’ but a philosophical journey. MIUI 6 was intended to make smartphones efficient. Hyper OS intends to make ‘all’ devices from Xiaomi ‘live’ together. Essentially, what started off with “simplify your phone” has now turned into “harmonize your life”.
