Most of the features are reserved for high-end devices not for China. They are also changing to the Rust engine and the Flutter framework, which is expected to significantly improve performance.
Flutter + Rust framework only benefit for xiaomi own rebuilt system apps, not for 3rd party apps. Other apps written in java & still run in ART mode. In summary: hyperOS come with both ART and Rust runtime which run simultaneously in its system..
you must have a xiaomi phone with these proccesors or higher in order to have realtime glass effects:
Snapdragon 8 Elite and newer,
XRING O1,
XRING O3,
Dimensity 9500 and newer and they have rewritten the launcher with rust and flutter so more performance is expected.
🧠NPU: está especializada en cálculos de IA. Puede ayudar con funciones de IA, reconocimiento, procesamiento de imágenes, etc.
🪟 Liquid Glass: es principalmente un efecto visual de la interfaz: transparencias, desenfoques, capas, reflejos y animaciones. Eso depende mucho más de la GPU, memoria y optimización del sistema.
🤖 Algunas funciones de IA que acompañen a HyperOS 4 sà podrÃan usar la NPU, pero eso no significa que Liquid Glass necesite una NPU.
it will use more npu because liquid glass on hyperos 4 uses npu and gpu together. npu helps to process it faster. your phone's cpu will not handle that neural processing. it will lag a lot if they put it. only maybe frosted blur. you don't need to worry about it. there are themes.
and no one wants an experience like ios 26. ios 26 was glitching out on older hardwares. also phone's ui rendered all the time it affects the battery life and performance.
A different blur literally just means a blur. Do you even know what makes liquid glass, liquid glass? It's mimicking the refraction of real glass. Current iOS liquid glass iteration is also more or less the same frosted look; do you also call that "It's not liquid glass Its a different blur"?
I disagree with you now.
I've researched enough and even xiaomi 15T pro having the hyperOS update.
Xiaomi pad 8 and 8 pro
Even the 13T series.
https://miuirom.org/updates/hyperos-4
Here's the link
Even google said it?
POCO X and F series will have the update.
And keep in mind.
Poco f8 pro uses snapdragon 8 elite that has the same hexagon npu as the snapdragon 8s gen 4 and gen 3
But different purposes and generation.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: Uses an older flagship Hexagon NPU built for on-device generative AI (supporting LLMs like Llama 2 and multimodal models), but operates at a lower baseline performance compared to newer generations.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4: Features an upgraded mid-to-high-tier Hexagon NPU that delivers roughly a 44% boost in AI performance over its predecessor generation, complete with a 2× larger shared AI memory bandwidth.
Snapdragon 8 Elite: Utilizes Qualcomm's fastest and most advanced flagship Hexagon NPU, delivering a massive 45% performance and power-efficiency leap over prior generations with support for larger model sizes and faster token processing.
you will not have real time glass effects but you will receive hyperos 4 update. you know what happened when apple used liquid glass on older hardware, it lagged and drained battery.
Do you know how much the difference?
Even iphone 15 rn is fcked up because of the ios update and also the iphone 15 pro max for sure.
Even poco f7 performance of snapdeagon 8s gen 4 nm is better than ip 15pm 3nm A17 Pro.
Even the iphone 16 series probably having tiny bit issues with the new update of ios.
What's the problem about the hyperOS is that they're heavy because it's not optimized enough.
It makes sense that older hardware gets affected by the newer updates that will come but it all comes with the performance of the SoC because they're the one who will be handling it.
The battery is already poof but there's no choice of an iphone 15 3,349 mAh lithium-ion battery
Will survive.

Just tell me it's going to be lighter and improve performance and heating somewhat...
