The other new features of HyperOS 2.0
The heart of this system will be the graphics engine Photon Engine, designed to optimize system animations making them smoother and faster, with an eye to energy saving. Transitions between apps and screens will be particularly natural, especially on devices equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors and above, which can effortlessly handle even the most complex animations.
In tandem with Photon Engine, the engine AI Hypermind 2.0 will work to balance performance and autonomy, adapting to user behavior and optimally allocating resources. L'photographic interface will undergo a complete restyling for greater intuitiveness, facilitating access to settings. Among the new advanced modes, Street Photography, Master Shooting, video recording in 4K at 60fps with Dolby Vision, rotating zoom and tripled depth of field stand out.
On the aesthetic front, Xiaomi will introduce two new dynamic wallpapers inspired by the Ocean and Desert themes. These will offer an immersive viewing experience with subtle movements that will adapt as the day changes. The quality of the user interface will be high thanks to Texture Advanced 2.0, which will make the graphic elements more detailed and refined, with a pleasant tactile sensation.
For models released after October 2024, the option Razor Plan will provide a lighter operating system, ensuring an even more optimized experience. The lock screen will allow you to group related alerts and stack widgets for a cleaner look. The control center, integrated with the notification panel, will offer a smoother and more accessible experience.
It is important to note that some improvements, such as those related to animations, will be fully exploitable only on devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors and higher.
