Xiaomi announces a new operating system to replace MIUI after 13 years on the market
Xiaomi has announced a new operating system called HyperOS. The company confirmed that it will be available worldwide and will debut on the upcoming Xiaomi 14 series. HyperOS will gradually replace the previous MIUI shell, which has been around for 13 years and was actually the first Xiaomi product.
HyperOS is designed for a wide range of Xiaomi products that goes beyond smartphones, Android Authority reports. The company claims that the new software will unite the entire ecosystem of products in 200 categories, including smart home devices, cars, etc.

HyperOS “is based on the integration of Android and the self-developed Vela system, completely rewriting the underlying architecture and preparing a publicly available basis for the Internet for just tens of billions of devices and tens of billions of connections in the future,” explained Lei Yong, Xiaomi’s CEO.
Although the company said that HyperOS will initially be preloaded on Xiaomi’s 14 series smartphones, it did not give any details about what the new OS will look like or how it will work. There are still 10 days until the Xiaomi 14 announcement (October 27), so it will happen either before or at the presentation.
Xiaomi 14
Meanwhile, information about Xiaomi 14 was published on the Chinese social network Weibo. It should be noted that the source of the information is rather strange – a low-resolution advertising poster in Chinese with Latin words interspersed.
According to this source, the Xiaomi 14 will feature a 6.44-inch Huaxing C8 OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2800 nits of peak brightness, as well as support for Dolby Vision and DCI-P3 color gamut.
The processor is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is to be officially unveiled by Qualcomm at its annual event in Hawaii from October 24 to 26. So Xiaomi should be one of the first to receive the new chip.
The Xiaomi 14 will allegedly be equipped with LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, and a 4600 mAh battery with support for 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W wireless charge back. The camera system will consist of a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50H main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera.
