Delving into the future of smart ecosystem with Xiaomi HyperOS
Xiaomi 14 Series will come out of the box with the Xiaomi HyperOS operating system. This human-centric system is designed for the “Human X Car X Home” smart ecosystem, focusing on four major goals: Comprehensive Refactoring, Cross-Device Intelligent Connectivity, Proactive Intelligence, and End-to-End Security. With Xiaomi HyperOS, Xiaomi 14 Series users may experience elevated system fluidity with advanced file and memory management capabilities, a revamped UI enriched by the graphics subsystem, seamless connectivity between devices, and comprehensive security and privacy features to ensure a safe, connected experience.
New integration with Google Photos will allow users to securely back up their photos and videos to Google Photos within the Xiaomi Gallery. Users will also be able to seamlessly view, edit, and share content backed up in Google Photos right from their Xiaomi Gallery. This functionality will be available on Xiaomi devices globally in Spring 2024.
Xiaomi 14 Series fully embraces cutting-edge AI technology enabled by Xiaomi HyperOS to bring users a smarter life. Large AI models are integrated into various system applications, providing more streamlined and intelligent features. AI Subtitles enable real-time transcription of spoken content during video conferences. AI Album Search employs natural language processing, allowing users to locate specific images within their photo collections by describing what they are looking for. AI Portraits utilizes advanced algorithms to create novel portrait compositions derived from pre-existing images. Additionally, AI Expansion facilitates realistic extensions of existing image content, providing new creative possibilities.
Proactive Intelligence is achieved through Xiaomi HyperMind, enabling devices to proactively understand user needs and act accordingly. Xiaomi HyperMind utilizes the four perceptual capabilities of devices – environment, vision, sound, and behavior, to learn user preferences and automatically adapt devices to their needs. For instance, if a user habitually turns on the living room light upon unlocking their smart door lock, Xiaomi HyperMind will automatically illuminate the room after learning this pattern, after gaining user consent.
At the end of October last year, Xiaomi announced a comprehensive upgrade of its group strategy, transitioning from “Smartphone x AIoT” to “Human x Car x Home” smart ecosystem, with automobiles becoming a new and crucial component of Xiaomi’s strategic focus. With the global launch of Xiaomi 14 Series, new IoT devices, and the reveal of Xiaomi SU7, all driven and connected by Xiaomi HyperOS, Xiaomi further establishes its leading role in technological innovation. The advancements in this portfolio underscores Xiaomi’s unwavering commitment to innovation and exceptional user experience.
