Just a few days ago, we posted about a rumoured new OS from Xiaomi called MiOS, it turns out, the company has today launched the new system but with a different name, HyperOS.

Despite the name, it seems HyperOS will be a skin on top of the Android OS instead of a full blown operating system (which is actually the right move) . It will replace the long standing MIUI found on Xiaomi smartphones and tablets.

In a post on X, the company’s global VP Alvin confirmed that HyperOS will gradually replace MIUI, with the new skin offering “Hyper performance, fluidity and connectivity across smartphones x AIoT.”

Unfortunately, Xiaomi did not provide a look at HyperOS today. It only revealed that the OS will launch officially with the Xiaomi 14 series towards the end of this year. HyperOS will not only run on phones but also connect other smart home appliances and cars, the company has been working hard to bring to market the Xiaomi electric sedan. 

Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, added that the company has been working on HyperOS since 2017 and that the global HyperOS ROM will roll out throughout 2024.

The outgoing MIUI started life as an Android skin with huge customization options and an overall design that looked similar to Apple’s iOS. This year, Xiaomi was among the first companies to roll out Android 14 update backed into MIUI 14, however, there won’t be a MIUI 15, HyperOS will take over from there.
