Gamers will appreciate the updated Game Toolbox. The new interface grants users granular control over performance tuning, custom macro overlays, and quick access to system monitoring widgets.
5. Lock Screen Customization & Fluid System Animations
HyperOS 4.0 brings customized dynamic clock styles, fresh lock screen typography, and over 100 system-level motion effects. Tapping options, toggling alarms, or adjusting settings triggers micro-animations that make navigation feel ultra-responsive.
HyperOS 4.0 Device Compatibility & Android 17 Roadmap
Xiaomi has initiated international internal testing for eligible devices. While smartphones running on Android 17 will receive the full suite of visual effects and animations, select devices running Android 16 will get a tailored version of HyperOS 4.0.
