According to Xiaomi, the Android 16-based HyperOS 3 builds upon the HyperCore technology, which it introduced last year. It is a self-developed underlying kernel technology platform that is said to reduce CPU load by four percent and improve energy efficiency by 10 percent. Apart from this, the frame loss rate of window animations is also claimed to have seen an 18.9 percent reduction. There are more than 100 optimised system animations in total in the Android 16-based OS.

A notable addition in HyperOS 3 is the new Super Island. It is a new notification system that lets users monitor multiple activities simultaneously. According to the company, they can track calls, delivery notifications, and travel updates by pulling down the relevant window from the Super Island.
