- A dev build of HyperOS has leaked, letting users sideload the apps on their Xiaomi smartphones and get a look at the various upcoming changes.
- While several apps have received a new look, the overall look of the UX skin in this early dev build is comparable to MIUI.
- Notwithstanding changes that Xiaomi may have made under the hood, this dev build could pass off as MIUI 15.
Xiaomi recently announced that it is retiring its MIUI UX skin in favor of a new one called HyperOS. HyperOS will debut on the upcoming Xiaomi 14 series, and the skin will gradually replace MIUI globally. We now have fresh leaked images that give us a glimpse of what HyperOS possibly looks like, and surprisingly, it still looks a lot like MIUI.
A Telegram channel called “Xiaomi HyperOS” (but not affiliated with Xiaomi) has shared APKs of several system apps from a recently leaked dev build of HyperOS, with build number 23.9.28. Xiaomi uses the YY.M.DD format for its daily dev builds, so we can figure out that the ROM was built on September 28, 2023. These APKs can be sideloaded onto devices running MIUI 14 based on Android 13 to get a glimpse of what HyperOS will look like to end users.
