Xiaomi has announced HyperOS, a new Android-based operating system that will eventually replace MIUI. It will debut on the Xiaomi 14 series.
According to Xiaomi's CEO, it is a heavily modified Android and Vela (Xiaomi's IoT OS based on the open source embedded OS Nuttx) to replace MIUI in all Xiaomi mobile, auto, and intelligent home products.
Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.
Thank you I might look into that. 👍 😀
I was pretty annoyed that day, and had actually decided to return it, and had reset it to factory defaults.
But a good nights sleep made me reconsider, and the next day I tried again, this time knowing most of what I needed to do. So I finally managed to configure it much more to my liking, and have decided to keep it.
The only downside in chinies product is that they've the ability to copy & mass produce. But they don't have a plan to compete & sustainability for long-term users.
After renaming the UI, now it's the time to target new customers & try to build a loyalty with them.
