The long journey of Xiaomi's interface system, from MIUI to HyperOS, demonstrates the company's continued commitment to providing the best user experience. Since its inception in 2010, Xiaomi has prioritized innovation and user needs.
The first generation of MIUI, built on Android 2.2, introduced the concept of a home screen without an app drawer and a T9 dialer, making it easier for users to quickly access contacts. This simple yet significant step laid the foundation that made MIUI known as an intuitive, efficient, and easy to use system.
Over the years, MIUI has continued to receive regular updates, even introducing a weekly update cycle, which was quite revolutionary at the time.
With each new version, users gained increasingly rich features, such as a theme engine that enabled comprehensive personalization, a more modern, flat interface, performance improvements, the ability to create a second space (Second Space), dual apps, and a split screen mode for more flexible multitasking.
MIUI also matured in terms of security through built in antivirus features, a smarter file manager, and advanced privacy controls, which are increasingly important for modern users.
As MIUI progressed from MIUI 10 to MIUI 12.5, the system experience became even smoother with the introduction of full screen gestures, natural sounds that create a natural sensation, Super Wallpapers that present stunning cosmic animations, and a reduction in preloaded apps to keep the system light and responsive.
Overall performance improvements were further deepened in MIUI 13 and MIUI 14 through technologies such as Liquid Storage, Photon Engine, and the Razor Project, all designed to maintain device speed and smoothness over the long term.
As reported by Xiaomi Time on Tuesday (November 25, 2025), the next major transformation came when Xiaomi switched from MIUI to HyperOS. The first generation of HyperOS in 2023 was strengthened by the integration of Vela services, enabling closer cross device connectivity within the Xiaomi ecosystem.
Users were also introduced to a dynamic and informative magazine style lock screen. In HyperOS 2, Xiaomi added the HyperCore Engine, which serves as a foundation for stronger system intelligence.
This version also introduced new AI features that not only improved camera quality but also strengthened multitasking capabilities and made it easier for devices to make intelligent decisions in various situations.
With HyperOS 3 in 2025, Xiaomi pushed its ecosystem to a more intuitive level. Features like Hyper Island offered a more immersive visual experience, while an iOS style approach to navigation and interaction made devices feel more natural for many users.
Furthermore, AI was now more deeply integrated throughout the system, allowing devices to adapt their behavior and appearance based on their users' habits.
Beyond improving performance, HyperOS 3 also emphasized ease of use and adaptability, transforming Xiaomi devices into more than just tools, but also personal assistants that understand their users' needs.
Looking back on this journey, it's clear that Xiaomi consistently delivers innovations that combine intelligence, flexibility, and ecosystem connectivity.
HyperOS exemplifies Xiaomi's commitment to creating devices that are not only fast and feature rich, but also adaptable, learning user preferences, and delivering maximum convenience.
With its continued evolution, Xiaomi demonstrates that its software is not just a platform, but a holistic experience that evolves with its users.
