The recent update to Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 brings a series of enhancements aimed at improving user experience and cross-device integration. Key upgrades include:
Xiaomi AI Glasses now support cross-device camera functionality during video calls on applications like WeChat and QQ. This allows users to leverage the glasses’ camera for sharing their first-person perspective directly within the call.
The Xiaomi Watch S4 14th Anniversary Edition has gained the remote photography feature, enabling users to preview camera feeds on their watch before taking a picture.
Xiaomi Open-back Earphones Pro and Xiaomi Bone Conduction Headphones 2 now offer more advanced control through system Bluetooth settings. Users can customize spatial audio, sound effects, and gesture controls for a personalized listening and interaction experience.
A significant development in cross-platform synergy is the ability to simultaneously use Xiaomi phone screens and applications on Mac devices. This feature allows for flexible switching between app windows of varying sizes, enhancing productivity and convenience for users who utilize both Xiaomi and Apple ecosystems.
To enable these cross-device functionalities, users will need to ensure their Xiaomi devices are running the latest software. Specifically, the Xiaomi Cross-Screen Collaboration Service App requires an upgrade to version 16.03.00 or above, while the companion Xiaomi Interconnection Service App on Mac needs to be updated to version 1.7.200 or higher.
Furthermore, the voice search capabilities have been improved. When asking Xiaomi’s AI assistant to find sensitive information such as ID card or bank card numbers stored in memory, users can now quickly copy the retrieved information, streamlining access to personal data.
According to Xiaomi, the HyperOS 2.0 update has demonstrably improved the user experience. The company has addressed 1,858 identified experience issues and optimized 132 functional details. This commitment to continuous improvement is evident through its monthly release cycle and the ability for applications to self-update, ensuring that users receive enhancements and bug fixes promptly.
