HyperOS 2.1 Beta introduces focus notifications inspired by Dynamic Island

Today, Xiaomi has officially rolled out the latest update of the HyperOS 2 Beta with a fresh Focus Notification feature. Now, this improvement not only makes the notification experience whole but also takes inspiration for features from the Dynamic Island of Apple’s iPhone 14 series for a clean and interactive way to manage the notifications.

Dynamic Island-Inspired Alerts

The most striking thing in it is that it embeds notifications right into the notch area of the device. Suppose some features, like DND and flashlight, are turned on; immediately, a dynamic notification would pop up inside the notch area. This allows a user to interact with the notification easily and go to the detailed settings of the feature straightforwardly.

For instance, toggling on DND results in a small notification in the notch; tap it, and you are taken to a detailed settings menu.

More Aesthetically Appealing Notification Panel

Another enhancement related to the Focus Notification feature is the introduction of color-coded backgrounds for select notifications. These visually striking backgrounds make critical notifications pop out within the notification panel, for their due share of the user’s attention.

A Step Forward in User Experience

HyperOS 2.1 Beta is available only for Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro China for now. You have to wait for extend Beta Program to other devices. With these refinements, HyperOS 2 Beta not only refines the way notifications are presented but also polishes and modernizes it. Drawing design cues from Apple’s Dynamic Island and marrying those with innovative features from Xiaomi, this update to Focus Notification best typifies how Xiaomi has continually refined the smartphone experience for its users. And if you’re part of that Beta program, well worth exploring.
