The above videos point out that the HyperOS 4 will arrive with a Liquid Glass-style design with translucent interface elements, softer blur effects and a refreshed overhaul appearance. Redesigned 2.5D app icons, animated widgets on the home screen, stacked weather and calendar widgets, bolder and cleaner-looking status bar icons and a shorter gesture navigation bar are also showcased in the UI.
Though these leaks are from internal testing, there is a chance that the brand may make some changes in the final version. But the leaks did suggest the Chinese manufacturer is considering options for a design overhaul in the upcoming custom skin, which means Xiaomi fans might get to see something different than the usual visual refresh.
