HyperOS 3 Beta update lifts restrictions, making Hyper Island available for all users
By removing internal limitations in the most recent HyperOS 3 Beta version, Xiaomi has expanded access to its “Hyper Island” feature, which was previously only available for flagship models. All Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices—including tablets and entry-level smartphones – can now use Hyper Island thanks to this upgrade. In an effort to be more inclusive throughout its product line, the business removed device-specific tags (such IS_PAD and isLowLevel) that had previously restricted interoperability.
What is Xiaomi Hyper Island?
Xiaomi‘s integrated notification and background activity control interface, Hyper Island, is located at the top of the screen and was inspired by Apple’s Dynamic Island. Although the functionality was initially designed for high-performance devices, recent advancements have made it possible for it to function properly on devices with less powerful hardware.
This change is in line with Xiaomi’s overarching plan to encourage uniformity and feature parity throughout its network of devices. Xiaomi hopes to improve customer satisfaction and device durability inside the HyperConnect ecosystem by offering flagship-level user interface experiences on more reasonably priced products.
However, the Island can function without animations on certain devices.
Hyper Island with the most recent update will be immediately sent to those that take part in the HyperOS 3 Beta program.
Xiaomi’s continued dedication to providing a consistent and all-encompassing user experience across all device categories is in line with this progress.
