Last week, we reported a rumour that Xiaomi is planning to replace MIUI, which has been in service for more than 13 years, with a new OS called “MiOS”.
This turns out to be true, but the new OS is not going to be called MiOS.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun just posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the company will be retiring MIUI and adopting “HyperOS” moving forward.
The HyperOS is set to make its first debut on the upcoming Xiaomi 14 series, which is just around the corner.
The company has officially confirmed its global availability and HyperOS is designed to accommodate Xiaomi’s extensive product range extending beyond smartphones, integrating the company’s entire ecosystem of products spanning over 200 categories, such as smart home devices and automobiles, according to Android Authority.
Lei Jun wrote in a Weibo post stated that, “In 2014, when our IoT business began taking shape, we initiated exploratory development and verification. By 2017, we officially commenced research and development of a new system designed to provide an integrated system framework for all ecological devices and applications. This is our vision.”
He elaborated that HyperOS is founded on the integration of a highly evolved Android and their in-house developed Vela system.
It entails a complete overhaul of the underlying architecture, paving the way for a universal foundation that can accommodate the Internet of Everything, encompassing potentially tens of billions of devices and connections in the future.
