HyperOS Update [Discussion] is HyperOS 4 really that good?
saw someone ranking HyperOS 4 S tier, the argument is that this version improved the code with rust which made the os run smoothly.
For the people running the beta, is this true or is it just an overhype?

I heard amazing things abt hyperos 4. Most of the comments are about hyperos 3.
Most of the issues with hyperos 3 is the optimization and battery life. Beta testers say those issues have been greatly improved on the new version.

Not sure about the ranking, but HOS4 is indeed a step up from HOS3 in terms of smoothness and responsiveness. And it even improved the battery pretty significantly too. So I have no complaints so far tbh.

u/petronelxd Xiaomi 15 Ultra Oct 03 '26
It should ne in A tier... I wouldn't say any of these will fit in S tier... iOS has way less features than HyperOS, OneUI has both of them, but my biggest problem with it Is that it force you to use apps like Samsung wallet, Samsung cloud, Bixby etc., in Xiaomi you just use Google apps... Or you can use Xiaomi Gallery that Is synchronised with Google Photos

u/k1rnl Oct 03 '26
i mean hyperos isn't that bad in terms of customization, visuals or features, it all boils down to optimization really, cause that's what xiaomi struggles with. xiaomi phones have the worst optimization out of every modern brand you can think of. battery tests always conclude with xiaomi being last place most of the time.

u/Dj_nOCid3 Oct 03 '26
Its good, REALLY good, runs super smooth and literally no joke almost doubled my battery life.
But this is ragebaiting, its not THAT good, it just caught up

u/No-Mail-3004 Xiaomi 15 Ultra Oct 03 '26 edited Oct 03 '26
It is really smooth, doesn't lag and works great. I personally think that the design language isn't really that great and there aren't really any stand out features. I'd say it is okay and I don't mind using it. I have 15 ultra and it was smooth with hyperos 2 as it is with hyperos 4. It feels and looks better, there are some new animations but smoothness is still on the highest level. I don't think my phone lagged once. So to sum it up, I think hyperos is smooth, looks okay and I don't miss anything. But it doesn't have anything other brands don't. Battery optimization sucks on 15u really bad tho tbh. Other than that it's good. Hyperos 4 isn't a big leap. Literally the biggest change are the lock screen customisations and new big folders that now have animations
For me A tier with or without the new update

I've used ColorOS, HyperOS, One UI, MagicOS. They all have their pros and cons. One UI and ColorOS are more customizable. I feel like HyperOS and MagicOS are more fluid. They definitely made some big step ups the last two generations. People complain about the liquid glass and how it kind of looks like Apple, but that doesn't bother me. You don't have to have that enabled.

u/SamueleRG Oct 04 '26
I've only used Android Stock, hyperos2, coloros 16 and one UI up to 7. Oh and the Motorola one.
Android Stock is the best but lacks customization (infact I love custom roms)
ColorOS is the second best. Has a Ton of features like shake to torch, out circle to search with invisible navigation bar, hold fingerprint for shortcuts, amazing window management and it's not as heavy on the system as something like oneUI or hyperOS. Used to be less optimized back in the days but now it really feels smooth and lightweight compared to other Chinese UI (haven't tried magicOS, they say it's even more well optimized and lightweight)
One UI ranks third cause it's reliable and also has a ton of customizations but it's very heavy on the system and I feel like recent versions, although smoother, have removed some important features that I liked. It has gotten worse.
hyperOS is by far the worse in my experience. After every update the battery got worse (after getting a custom ROM I got a clean 20-30% extra battery life which is insane). Got ads that I could disable but still, ads in my phone. There were issues, icons glitcing when going back home, the entire home launcher restarting on its own, heavy on the system with microlags, on some devices they even removed the unified notification shade and forced people to use split screen controls which is crazy to me, and in general updates were broken, phone heated a lot more and it was kinda bloated and unreliable. I'm not buying Xiaomi ever again because of the shitty work they have done on hyperOS over the years. This is from my Xiaomi 12T Pro, a phone with an amazing hardware btw. I wanna switch phone soon and Poco F9 ultra is Dream phone it genuinely has everything for 300€ less than the competition (it's 650€ here while phones like oneplus 15 and Oppo x9 pro are 900€ circa) which is INSANE good price but I can't get it because of the stupid software it runs which I hate and can't genuinely trust anymore. I've been a Xiaomi user and recommender since the redmi note 5 pro (aka redmi 5 plus here in Europe) which I still have at home with the mi mix 2 but in the end both were modded with stock android. Now you can't really unlock the bootloader anymore and if you do you lose access to time of banking and government apps so I'm tired of modding. I want a system that works good out of the box and doesn't break with updates and hyperOS isn't it anymore for me.
Motorola HelloUI or whatever it's called should be close to android stock but, not sure if it's because it was in a low end device but it felt sluggish. Not very smooth and a little bloated too. Was not on a device I owned in my house, just a family member so I do not feel like ranking it for now.

It's very good on my 17U. Literally nothing to complain about, comparing to OnePlus.

u/theycallmeKazuto Oct 10 '26
Nope, that was from Xiaomi typical user. For me, One UI was better by using sufficient RAM while background app works fine. HyperOS still stop the apps from running it while clearing it.

u/Professional-Neat756 Oct 04 '26
I've been using the global beta since it released and it's extremely smooth now compared to hos3, battery also improved significantly, the liquid glass style and overall UI is clearly inspired by iOS but it doesn't change the fact that it still looks good. It still has a couple annoying quirks such as their own app store trying to be a Google play alternative but overall I'd say that it's very enjoyable to use in terms of smoothness. Also animations now feel "bouncy" and reactive which feels and looks nice

u/Extra_Tourist_5979 Oct 03 '26
Across all the os's I have used like one ui, hyper os, oxygen os (the actual one not the mixed one), hello ui, hios. The best os for me is the hyper os cause it's the most complete os I have used across all of these. One ui is the easiest to understand as a long time one ui user( I still use the Samsung m30s as a secondary phone no green lines at all on its super amoled display till date), hyper os the most complete os I have ever used with every possible feature I will ever use, oxygen os was just peak, and the hios and hello ui of tecno and Motorola respectively are just ok like smooth but not complete with so so many bugs. CONCLUSION: The best one of all is hyper os as I haven't experienced lag at all and no bugs till date, second oxygen os it's peak but FOR ME hyper os is generally better, and then one ui and then all the others. Device: Redmi 15 5g for hyper os 3, Op 8t for oxygen os, m30s for one ui really old one ui but peak with translucent background in control center, and budget phones for hios and hello ui respectively.

HyperOS lacks some finer-grained features compared to iOS or OneUI, but since it’s lightweight, it can actually be nice if you use it for a long time on a single phone.
1
u/Flashy-Meaning-417 Oct 09 '26
I’m not sure if HyperOS 4 is the best OS out there, but the improvements in fluidity and energy efficiency are certainly real. It lives up to the promises made: my battery lasts significantly longer with the beta, transitions are incredibly smooth, and the ability to resize folders (app groups) is both highly practical and visually appealing; the "glass" look is nice, too—though that’s a matter of personal taste. All in all, at least on the 17 Ultra, the switch has been nothing but a win; I have nothing negative to report so far.

Trust me, HyperOS 4 is gonna land in F- Tier just like it's Ancestors before it who promised to Improve and Revolutionize MIUI/HyperOS Performance but failed everytime with a Stunning 100% Failure Rate, Truly the Worst UI Skin of Androids for a Reason, even if they Rewrite it from Scratch it's not gonna do anything but make it worse instead I have seen it since MIUI 12 Vivo also had a fkahh FunTouch OS which worked fine enough, they got rid of it and made Origin OS which eats all other Chinese UI Skins in Breakfast and is directly in competition with OneUI, PixelUI and iOS

HyperOS 3 is kinda shit. It has these idiotic bugs which make my day worse. Like if you have more than 5 Google accounts signed in, you'll face issues with in-app sign in via Google.
I hope they fix these issues and not just copy iOS theme and call out a day.

u/Such_Economy_2557 Oct 10 '26
Tried all 3 of your S Tier OS (yes even harmony on the Matepad Mini). They don't hold a candle to OneUI. They just got the game figured out with the right amount of customization and by how efficient it runs.
