According to Xiaomi’s CEO, it is a heavily modified Android and Vela (Xiaomi’s IoT OS based on the open source embedded OS Nuttx) to replace MIUI in all Xiaomi mobile, auto, and intelligent home products.

    I wonder how many highly paid marketing executives it took to come up with that name.

      Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.

      i hope that miui eu devs will also jump to hyperos.

      miui eu is so so much better than bloated global roms… and this is my go-to custom rom everytime i replace my Xiaomi smartphone.

    I just got my bran new Xiaomi 13T Pro 12/512 today. Man MIUI sucks, I was so looking forward for this phone, because the hardware is very cool IMO.

    But between the crapware you can’t uninstall, and generally bad software decisions, they manage to create an absolute horror show of an experience.

    How the f… did they think this crap was a good idea? I’m seriously planning to return it.

    My 3 year old Moto G9 Power that cost only 1/3 of what this shit show cost, had a better user experience!!!

    I have absolutely confidence “HyperOS” will be shit too. This is a serious software management problem, that will 99.9% sure carry over.

    The only downside in chinies product is that they’ve the ability to copy & mass produce. But they don’t have a plan to compete & sustainability for long-term users.

    After renaming the UI, now it’s the time to target new customers & try to build a loyalty with them.
