Xiaomi announces HyperOS 4, the next major version of its mobile operating system, featuring a redesigned user interface, expanded customization options, and updated AI features. The update introduces a “liquid glass” style design language aimed at realistic visual effects, including refraction-like rendering for UI elements.

The rollout is described as starting with beta availability and includes changes to the lock screen experience, where users can arrange and configure elements such as the clock. Xiaomi also positions HyperOS releases as separate from Android release cycles, with its current software track continuing alongside ongoing Android updates.

Across outlets, the core emphasis is consistent: HyperOS 4 brings a glass-inspired interface and improved AI capabilities. Reporting also highlights that HyperOS 4 includes Super AI Assistant 2.0, powered by Xiaomi’s MiMo large language model, alongside broader system-level performance improvements.
