Xiaomi HyperOS Launcher | Tips & Best Features

Xiaomi's HyperOS launcher is here, I've been testing it on the Poco X6 Pro 5G, and here's my review of the best features. While Hyper OS is very similar vs MiUI, you will find it's sleeker and smaller in size. And you also get all of the greatest features ported over, so your Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco phone will be packed with great tools.

Note that several existing phones like the Xiaomi 13 and 13T series will be updated to this HyperOS launcher imminently. While fresh phones like the Poco X6 and X6 Pro either come with it out of the box, or will again get that update soon.

Customisation is a key quality of Hyper OS. You can tweak and design your lock screen, always on display (not always on here sadly) and much more besides. Plus, Xiaomi's HyperOS offers a strong selection of gesture controls, including a screenshot and camera shortcut.

Speaking of cameras, the app here is also customisable so you can favour certain modes. HyperOS also dishes up plenty of battery features, and if I didn't cover your favourite bits here - let me know! My review of the Redmi Note 13 series and Poco X6 Pro is live right now, expect more Xiaomi content in the coming month. And those Hyper OS updates are rolling out now.

Massive improvement in fluidity and general performance and battery on my Xiaomi 12T since changing to hyper OS

Hi there, haha thanks for the humorous analysis. Really enjoyed it. Had me laughing here and there. All the best 👍

Most exited for that lower storage requirement. Only got 64 gb of storage after all

That is pretty much still MIUI just with a different name (and maybe better performance on newer models). From what you showed it is also easy to assume that the Global version, just like with MIUI, is going to be severely lacking in comparison to the Chinese one when it comes to customization options.

Does it still have ads when you delete cache and in other security options?

They removed YouTube background play it was biggest drawback for me 🗿

I do like the clean look of that phone. Tempting....

HyperOS has been available on my X13 for the last 10 day, but I still haven't pulled the trigger. I've read various negative things, like people's banking apps being inaccessible after the upgrade, or endless boot cycle. For all that HyperOS offers (or doesn't, more like), I will keep MIUI for now until the second version gets released. I couldn't care any less about a customisable lock screen.

Since i updated to Hyper os ... my alarm clock dont shows me, that it is active ...no icon anymore .... can i fix this ? ..or is it just shit now?

[ronneest]

Not sure if it's just my phone or the OS itself but I am missing the stack media player either on lockscreen or notification tray.
In a12 and a13, i can scroll which media player i want to play ( like YT music then Spotify or Youtube) as long as it is in background.

[dansonmurimi]

[pinkycocoon]

When I take screenshots on my Mi pad 6 they look super pale and colorless? Is it because of the new update

[lia-npci]

[stevehalt]

Where can I download all those shenanigans that were mentioned in this video more than five times?

[IIHydraII]

I have a Poco x6 5G and I don't seem to have an update available for HyperOS? I live in England which supposedly already has it available? Anyone know how i can get it?

[Achrodoscope]

I'm currently using a mi pad 6, already updated to hyper os but why is it so lacking than with the phone version, there's not even a theme store! Will it get updated to the one's like the phone's version or not?

[VlogAjaTv]

why is it not the same on the redmi 12 even though it has been updated to hyperOs ?
