HyperOS – the successor to Xiaomi’s MIUI Android skin – has been leaked online ahead of its debut. The Chinese smartphone maker has confirmed that a new operating system (OS) skin will be released alongside the Xiaomi Mi 14 series, amid rumors that the company will launch its latest flagship phone at the end of this month.

Xiaomi’s MIUI provides a control center with a quick switching function, which is somewhat similar to Apple’s control center on iOS. The new HyperOS will also provide a similar interface. The brightness and volume sliders, as well as the embedded Now Playing widget, look very similar to those on iOS 17, with just a slightly tweaked layout. Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles are at the top, while the lower half of the screen has multiple quick settings toggles.

HyperOS’s home screen features two square widgets that display the time and weather, with the name of the app underneath – another design element that appears to be inspired by Apple’s operating system.
