Xiaomi is pushing its phone software in a bold new way. With HyperOS 3, the firm is not just adding style or speed. It is changing how apps, tools, and voice help work as one.

At a recent partner event, Xiaomi shared new facts on Smart Island and Super Xiao Ai. The main idea is scale. More apps now work well, more use cases exist, and fewer steps are needed each day.

Smart Island grows fast

Smart Island first launched in August with a clear goal. It shows key app info in a smart and calm way. Today, it now backs over 60 apps and fits more than 75 use cases. That rise shows strong support from app teams, not just lab tests.
Xiaomi also rolled out ready Island forms for each developer. A team can adapt once and show the same view on many screens. This works on main screens, back screens, and outer screens too. The plan is simple. Write less code, reach more users, keep the look neat.
This shift matters as phones now ship with odd shapes and more screens. A tool that bends with each device saves time and cost. It also helps keep app style clean across the brand. For users, this means less mess and more useful glance data at all times.

Xiao Ai cuts steps

Xiao Ai is also moving ahead fast. It's One Step Access now works with 100 common apps. It also holds over 3,000 quick skills. These skills let users book trips, order food, or plan tasks.
The aim here is speed. Xiaomi wants users to skip deep menus and long tap chains. One ask, one step, done. This puts Xiao Ai closer to a real task tool, not just a chat toy.
It also hints at a wider shift in phone use. Voice is no longer just for search or fun. It is now a front door to daily tasks, tied close to apps users trust each day.

A huge linked web

Xiaomi also shared big-scale stats tied to its wider web. Its people, car, and home link now has 410 million daily active devices. Each day, over 32 million linked devices are under control.
These facts give weight to the software push. Smart Island and Xiao Ai are not small add-ons. They sit at the core of a huge linked system. If Xiaomi keeps app teams on board and avoids clutter, this path could lock users in deep.
