Xiaomi’s new ‘HyperOS’ will power its smartphones and beyond

Much like how Huawei developed its own HarmonyOS as an Android substitute, Xiaomi is about to pull a similar move to bolster its ecosystem — especially with its electric car due to arrive in the first of half next year. Dubbed "HyperOS," this MIUI replacement will apparently be a blend of Android and Xiaomi's very own "Vela" system, hence a "completely rewritten underlying architecture" that would supposedly allow users, vehicles and smart home — of over 200 product categories — to connect with one another seamlessly. It's safe to assume that Xiaomi's electric car will also feature HyperOS, thus going head to head with Huawei's Aito line of EVs.
