The "Magic Button" in HyperOS 3 that rescues your bad photos

Ever captured a perfect moment, only to realize later that the shot is slightly blurry? It happens to the best of us. But with Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 3, you no longer have to delete those imperfect memories.

HyperOS 3 introduces a significantly upgraded AI Enhancement feature built directly into the Gallery app. Leveraging the next generation of Xiaomi’s neural processing, this tool can instantly analyze and restore photos that are out of focus, noisy, or lacking detail. Whether it’s a low-light portrait or a quick snap of a moving subject, HyperOS 3 scans facial details, textures, and edges to reconstruct the image with impressive clarity.

How HyperOS 3 AI Enhancement Works

The technology behind this feature has taken a massive leap forward in HyperOS 3. When you select a photo for enhancement, the AI algorithms go to work immediately:

Deep Scan: The AI examines the entire image to identify specific areas of blur, noise, or artifacting.
Smart Restoration: It intelligently distinguishes between natural textures and unwanted noise, recovering lost details.
Reconstruction: The system recreates missing pixel information to sharpen edges and define features without making the photo look “fake.”
Natural Balance: Unlike simple sharpening tools, HyperOS 3 preserves the natural look of skin tones and lighting while improving overall quality.

Users have reported dramatic improvements in:

Portrait Clarity: Sharpening eyes and facial features in shots that slightly missed focus.
Text Readability: Making blurry documents or screenshots crystal clear.
Night Mode Rescue: removing grain and noise from low-light photography.
Landscape Detail: Defining the edges of distant objects like trees and buildings.

How to Use the AI Enhancement Feature

Rescuing your photos is incredibly simple and takes just a few seconds:

Open the Gallery app on your Xiaomi phone running HyperOS 3.
Select the blurry or low-quality photo you want to fix.
Tap the Edit button to open the editing suite.
Tap on the “AI” tab.
Select “Enhance” (or “Ultra Clear” on some models) from the available tools.
Wait a few seconds for the processing to complete.
Compare the “Before” and “After,” then tap Save if you are happy with the result.

The best part? The edit is non-destructive. Your original photo remains untouched, so you can experiment without fear of losing the original file. The processing is lightning-fast, making it easy to batch-edit your entire holiday album.

When to Use This Feature

This tool is a lifesaver for:

Action Shots: When a subject moved slightly right as you pressed the shutter.
Night Photography: To clean up grain in dark environments.
Old Digital Photos: To give new life to lower-resolution images from older devices.
Important Documents: To clarify text for work or study.
