HyperOS 3 November Upgrade: Everything New in Xiaomi’s Latest System Update

Xiaomi continues to refine its unified operating system with the official release of the HyperOS 3 November Upgrade Summary. The latest feature drop signals a clear strategy: deepening the integration of artificial intelligence into everyday creativity while polishing the user interface to be more fluid and interconnected.

From natural-language photo editing to a more capable “Super Island,” the update aims to streamline workflows for users across the Xiaomi ecosystem.

“Just Say It”: AI Photo Editing Gets Conversational

The standout addition in this cycle is the new Super AI Photo Editing tool within the Gallery app. Xiaomi is effectively lowering the barrier to entry for complex image manipulation by leveraging its voice assistant, Xiao Ai.

Instead of navigating through layers of menus and sliders, users can now simply select a photo and verbally describe the desired edit to the assistant. Whether it is removing a photobomber, adjusting the lighting, or stylizing a landscape, the system analyzes the natural language intent and executes the edit automatically. This feature targets both casual users who want quick fixes and enthusiasts looking to speed up their workflow.

Super Island Expands its Territory

Xiaomi’s dynamic notification interface, known as Xiaomi Super Island, is receiving a significant functionality boost. The interactive capsule, which expands to show real-time activities, now boasts tighter integration with third-party and system apps.

Key updates include:

• Music Integration: Seamless support for Xiaomi Music and NetEase Cloud, allowing users to drag and share tracks directly from the island.

• System Status: The interface now provides visual feedback for NFC card swipes and facial recognition prompts when locking individual apps, making the system feel more responsive to physical interactions.

A Creator’s Toolkit: Video and Image Overhaul

The update brings a suite of granular controls to media management and creation. Pet owners will notice a new AI-driven ability in the Gallery that automatically identifies and categorizes photos of pets into dedicated albums, simplifying organization.

For content creators, the Video Editor has been professionalized. Users can now save video drafts to return to later—a long-requested feature—and utilize a scalable timeline for more precise editing of longer clips. Text overlays now support adjustable fonts, transparency, and alignment.

Simultaneously, static image editing sees the introduction of an Ultra-HD Portrait Editor for precise retouching, along with a completely reconstructed watermark system. Users can now toggle lens parameters and add custom text, images, or adjustable frame backgrounds to their shots.

Productivity and Personalization

Rounding out the update are enhancements to the Recorder and personalization engines. The Recorder app has been upgraded with a more robust speech recognition model capable of understanding technical terminology and various dialects. It also introduces AI-optimized transcript cleaning to turn messy recordings into structured summaries. For quick access, a “back-tap” gesture can now instantly trigger a recording.

Finally, the update embraces the generative AI trend for aesthetics, allowing users to save and share AI-generated wallpapers, ensuring a unique look across compatible devices.
