Xiaomi India has announced the roll-out calendar for the Xiaomi HyperOS – a human-centric operating system, designed for connected personal devices.
A Leap for Mobile operating systems
15 years ago, the tech landscape saw a pivotal shift from basic feature phones to smartphones, powered by emerging operating systems. Fast forward to 2024, with an estimated 7.1 billion smartphone users globally, and a new inflection point in consumer technology has now emerged.
With 600 million+ smart devices worldwide, Xiaomi is the largest connected smart device brand today. With this in mind, Xiaomi HyperOS has been designed for consumers who are now increasingly asking for interoperability and seamless interconnectivity between their different personal devices. The current fragmented OS landscape was never designed for the complexities of modern connected ecosystems.
For Xiaomi, with its diverse ecosystem of products, the challenge was even more unique with each device utilizing different connectivity mechanisms. Due to limited interoperability with products from other companies, there were also issues arising with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatibility.
A culmination of extensive research and development, Xiaomi HyperOS has been developed to set a new benchmark in the technology industry, which will redefine how users interact with their devices, providing a more intuitive, secure and enjoyable experience.
