What is Super Island?

HyperOS 3 is bringing a new, cleaner look that focuses on actual usability, not just flashy effects. Xiaomi made the app icons look better. They added clearer ways to see notifications. They also made the phone feel more like iOS in how it moves and interacts, but it still keeps all of Android's flexibility.

The new feature everyone is talking about is called Super Island. This is a pill-shaped area near the camera cutout. Think of it as an alert hub. It makes multitasking much better. It improves how floating windows work. It also makes background tasks and mini-widgets behave much smarter across the whole system. This little change gives you real-time updates—like timers, music controls, or flight details—without getting in the way of what you are doing.

Main Improvements for Users

Users are getting a good mix of performance, look, and AI-level improvements:

AI Optimizations: Advanced AI is being used to handle background tasks better.
Visual Clarity: The system icons are refreshed. They look cleaner.
Smooth Motion: The phone has an iOS-style visual flow with much improved gesture animations.
Super Island: A smart new feature for better floating windows and task continuity.
Battery Life: Enhanced efficiency means better battery life, even during heavy use.

The HyperOS 3 update is currently rolling out via Recovery ROM. It is meant for all global POCO F6 Pro models. Xiaomi always releases these builds slowly to make sure they are stable and reliable in every region. Always follow the official update channels for your device.
