Emir BardakçıInnovation and user-centricity have marked Xiaomi’s software journey since 2010. MIUI V1, based on Android 2.2, brought a drawerless home screen and T9 dialer to get things simple and accessible. Later came weekly update cycles, theme engines, flat design, dual apps, split-screen, and advanced privacy features with subsequent updates. HyperOS continues this very evolution with the integration of Vela in HyperOS 1.0, AI-powered tools in HyperOS 2.0, and iOS-inspired interactions in HyperOS 3.0. Users witness much smoother, intelligent, and highly customizable Xiaomi devices across years.
