HyperOS 4 brings high-performance apps with Flutter and Rust
Xiaomi uses Rust and Flutter to rework key apps. The Weather app on HyperOS 3.1 checks this. These tools are extensively utilized in HyperOS 4. UI is made fluid via Flutter. Rust improves safety and speed. Versions of new apps are not available to older HyperOS users. This eliminates older phones’ backward compatibility.

Small improvements are made to flagship phones. Large speed increases are seen in low-cost phones. Xiaomi resolves outdated code issues. The most stable experience in Xiaomi history is what it promises.
