HyperOS 4 to Introduce ‘Liquid Glass’ Effect on Select Xiaomi Devices
Xiaomi has officially unveiled the lineup of mobile devices slated to receive the new Soft Light Glass effect with the upcoming HyperOS 4 update. This visual enhancement, often referred to as ‘liquid glass,’ aims to elevate the user interface and overall system aesthetics.
Chipset-Based Compatibility and Global Availability
The initial list of compatible devices was released for the Chinese market. However, given that the implementation of the Soft Light Glass feature is driven by chipset capabilities rather than regional market preferences, it is anticipated that equivalent global models will also gain access to this update. This suggests that users outside of China can look forward to experiencing the ‘liquid glass’ effect on their Xiaomi devices.
Confirmed Devices for Soft Light Glass Feature
Currently, the officially confirmed list of devices scheduled to receive the ‘liquid glass’ effect in HyperOS 4 is not extensive. Xiaomi continues to refine its deployment plans, and the list may be expanded as more information becomes available. Users are advised to monitor official announcements for the latest updates regarding the availability of this feature for their specific models.
While the ‘liquid glass’ effect sounds visually appealing for HyperOS 4, I’m curious about the actual performance impact. Such graphical enhancements, while aesthetically pleasing, can sometimes lead to increased battery drain or a noticeable slowdown on older chipsets, even if they’re deemed ‘compatible.’ It would be helpful to understand the trade-offs involved, especially for users who prioritize smooth functionality over purely cosmetic updates. I hope the implementation is truly optimized.
