Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, announced the arrival of HyperOS today. The new operating system will make its official debut on the Xiaomi 14 series and will be the natural evolution of MIUI. The series will arrive later this year in China, while the global release is expected to take place in the first weeks of 2024.
HyperOS is still an Android Open Source project but will be merged with Vela, Xiaomi’s platform for IoT.
The executive shared an emotional post on Weibo, revealing that the operating system will put “people at the center of an ecosystem” where they will connect with other people, cars and homes. His team started with just “a few engineers” and is now a large company with a software workforce of nearly 5,000 people.
The user base has grown from “100 dreamers” to over 1 billion users since Xiaomi’s first MIUI product, launched on August 16, 2010. The current UI launched with “only four common functions” and is now a cross service -device for phones and home devices. home appliances.

Preparations for Xiaomi HyperOS began in 2014, when the world of IoT began to emerge. The company took its first steps in 2017 and then began developing a new ecosystem for devices and applications. The goal is to connect “tens of billions of devices” in the future, and the first step will be the Xiaomi 14 series.
Our expectations are that future Xiaomi phones will launch with HyperOS, while older flagships and premium devices will receive an OTA update, although the company does not have the best path to update older phones with modern software.
