Xiaomi officially announced HyperOS 4, the company's latest iteration of the Android operating system. This update brings significant improvements in CPU and RAM management, expands customization options, and introduces the artificial intelligence assistant named Super XiaoAI 2.0. A notable visual aspect of this version is the Soft Light Glass design.
The Soft Light Glass visual is characterized by presenting interface elements, such as buttons, widgets, and text fields, with translucent effects reminiscent of Apple's Liquid Glass concept. The transparency of these components dynamically adjusts to the colors of the visual content, and quick light effects are triggered when interacting with buttons or dragging objects.
It is important to note that the Soft Light Glass effects vary depending on the device and are intended for more powerful smartphones equipped with processors from lines such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9500. Xiaomi has maintained its tradition of allowing users to modify various aspects of the interface in HyperOS 4.
On more advanced Xiaomi devices, the new version allows users to customize the font, size, and colors of the lock screen clock. Other functionalities include the ability to group widgets on the home screen, adjust folder sizes, and more easily configure the number of visible application icons simultaneously.
Regarding performance, HyperOS 4 optimized HyperCore, the low-level layer responsible for managing system performance parameters. This optimization resulted in a considerable decrease in power consumption, RAM usage, and processor use compared to HyperOS 3. This is achieved through precise monitoring of task execution sequences for correct resource allocation, in addition to using AI to predict actions and pre-load necessary components into memory.
Another major addition is Super XiaoAI 2.0, an AI assistant built on Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5 models. In addition to maintaining previous functionalities, such as searching for content displayed on the screen or summarizing results, this version can operate as an AI agent. The Expert Mode, a standout feature, allows the execution of complex tasks requiring multiple steps, such as generating videos from text or creating detailed reports, although this mode is exclusive to advanced Xiaomi smartphones.
HyperOS 4 was announced on August 13, 2026, but has not yet been released, currently being in beta phase. The availability of the final version will depend on the country and phone model, but the process is expected to begin in China at least in September of this year. Among the devices expected to receive HyperOS 4 are the POCO X7, POCO X8, and POCO F8 models. Conversely, lines such as Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi MIX 4, Redmi A3, and Redmi 14 will not be part of this list.
Details about HyperOS 4, Xiaomi's next interface version, were exposed this Friday (07) following the leak of files related to the system's initial setup. This material anticipates visual modifications, artificial intelligence-based features, and suggests how the manufacturer plans to distribute certain innovations across different smartphone categories.
This information emerged before the official announcement of the platform and directly refers to the new system version, presenting a sequence of screens designed to show users the main features immediately after the update. The content also corroborates previous rumors about the new interface aesthetic.
A crucial point is the possibility that not all features will be accessible on all compatible devices. The files themselves segregate basic functionalities from features intended for flagship models, indicating that the user experience may vary depending on the device's hardware.
The discovered configuration package groups ten sets of novelties, ranging from system appearance adjustments to intelligent tools focused on increasing productivity. Among these additions are a new lock screen experience, the ability to stack widgets, the possibility to resize folders, improved inter-device integration, and AI features integrated into the system.
One of the most significant transformations is the implementation of the so-called Glass Material, a visual identity characterized by transparencies, depth effects, and translucent elements. The files link this graphic set to specific device categories, signaling that the interface may change according to hardware capability, even among phones updated to HyperOS 4.
The lock screen has also been revamped. The images in the material show new clock styles, differently organized notifications, and a more cohesive visual composition with the wallpaper. Classifying this experience as part of the Glass set reinforces the chance that this feature will be exclusive to certain models.
Another expected new feature for the home screen is widget stacking. This function allows grouping various cards in a single area of the desktop, simplifying the switching between data such as weather forecasts, calendars, clocks, media controls, and system utilities. Furthermore, application folders will gain an option to change their size directly in the interface.
The leak also points to a redesign of the Xiaomi HyperConnect Device Center, the communication hub between the brand's products. The interface will consolidate smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, headphones, cameras, smart appliances, and even the Xiaomi SU7 vehicle into a unified visual environment.
Artificial intelligence represents a considerable portion of the anticipated novelties. Super XiaoAI arrives with a redesigned interface and a mode called Expert Mode, which expands automation options. Among the examples shown in the files is the creation of recurring tasks, such as scheduled searches to be executed weekly with automatic result delivery at a predetermined time.
The Notes app should also receive new intelligent features. The material displays tools capable of recording meetings, generating automatic summaries, identifying discussed tasks during conversations, answering questions based on saved content, and even converting information into podcast format.
Another planned integration concerns the system keyboard. The files indicate the arrival of AI functionalities focused on translation, voice recognition, text enhancement, and personalized rewriting, allowing these features to be used directly during typing without needing to open separate applications.
Although the files reveal an advanced stage of HyperOS 4 development, Xiaomi has not yet made an official announcement of the new version. The material strengthens expectations for a launch still in August, but the final date has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. The post about the HyperOS 4 leak with AI and interface news for Xiaomi phones was initially published on Olhar Digital.
