At the end of last year, Xiaomi presented a new operating system, which replaced MIUI, its interface, which worked on Android. HyperOS, as it is called, is not only important for smartphones, but for everything it involves in the Xiaomi ecosystem, from tablets to cars. In addition, two months later the company confirmed that it would arrive in Europe, and in fact it is already available on the Xiaomi 14.
These two phones are the first products to arrive with HyperOS, this is one of their key points, along with the photographic section, as Nelly De Navia explained to EL ESPAÑOL – Omicrono. The marketing manager of Xiaomi Europe has made it clear that “At Xiaomi, we are firmly committed to a 360-degree ecosystem”.
This bet has been in preparation for several years and, even if a fairly gradual evolution is perceptible on mobile phones, In other products, the impact of such a move may have a long-term impact, especially when we talk about electric cars. At MWC the new SU7 Max was presented for the first time in Europe, one of two Xiaomi models, which will go on sale in a few months in China.
This model is key in one of the three columns of the new Xiaomi ecosystem, [Human x Car x Home]. Of course, it will not be the only one since this section of Xiaomi’s new motto includes the entire mobility space away from home, which occupies another of the pillars. However, this bet relates more to physical mobility since devices for personal use, such as tablets or mobile phones, would fall under the first section, Human.
Human
The first element of Xiaomi’s strategy is the one that is already well known, the one that includes mobile devices, such as phones or tablets. At the moment, Xiaomi hasn’t shown much interest in virtual reality glasses or direct artificial intelligence. These devices position themselves as the control center of the entire ecosystem, depending on the actions to be taken.
For example, The mobile has very strong integration with Xiaomi Home, which allows you to control the elements of the house. The notifications area will show things that, according to the system, may be useful to us, such as turning on a house when we come home or closing the door with a smart lock when we leave it. Products such as smart watches or smart bracelets would also enter here. since these are clearly products to be used individually.
Car
The second pillar of the strategy is automobiles, cars, even if It wouldn’t be unreasonable if it ended up focusing on mobility more generally. The Xiaomi SU7, the brand’s first car, has the same operating system as smartphones, although adapted to its giant screen. Actually, It is possible to project the cell phone onto the car dashboard, using a third of the screen
In back You can add an accessory to put a tablet that syncs with the car, which can change certain infotainment system settings without having to disturb the driver. But the most curious thing is probably that You can control the home through Xiaomi Home. The car’s screen will allow you to control and program the devices in the house, and perhaps even change their behavior simply when approaching them in the car.
Special mention to Xiaomi car charger, a product that they have confirmed to us is going to be launched and that it will be integrated into Xiaomi Home, although there is no more information, except that it will be able to recharge the car in a few minutes. We therefore assume that it is a fast charger, of those located on the roads, and not a charger to be installed at home, because no house can support this electrical demand.
This integration also allows you to see information about the car from your mobile phone, as is the case with Teslas. We know that This vehicle will have connectivity via Wifi and another via mobile coverage, using a SIM, but the details are not yet known. It should be similar to Tesla’s premium connectivity which costs 9.99 dollars and allows you to view the cameras remotely, precondition the car, use sentinel mode, view maps with satellite images…
Home
The last section of this strategy is the one that affects the house. Xiaomi has a versatile tool in its home automation application that allows you to not only control devices remotely, but also schedule actions based on what other devices are doing. This would open the door to timing the car or fryer, or the garage door to know when the car is coming.
For now there are no confirmed functions, but there are only a few weeks left before they begin to be known since Xiaomi’s car will go on sale in China this year 2024. But beyond the vehicle, the fact that Xiaomi devices have a common core operating system, even if the interface is different, can change things in a mobile ecosystem as we know it.
