Xiaomi, which began as a modest custom ROM project in 2010, has now transformed into a global corporation with operations in over 100 countries. The company’s success was initially fueled by its budget smartphones. With a substantial influx of capital, the company figured that it could expand into other segments as well. Enter Xiaomi earphones, Xiaomi air purifiers, and more recently, the Xiaomi SU7 EV.
Xiaomi’s product ‘ecosystem’ is arguably more extensive than even Apple’s. While Xiaomi’s hardware has seen significant growth in recent years, its software needed to evolve to keep pace and connect these devices together. This is where HyperOS comes into play.
