It is already known that Google is making far-reaching changes to the Android 16 user interface, among which new background blur effects attract special user attention.
It is highly likely that these “impressive blur effects” will appear in the upcoming HyperOS 3 system, which Xiaomi will officially introduce to the public this fall.
The inclusion of these blur effects is one of the biggest visual updates to Android in recent years and could potentially affect how Xiaomi personalizes its HyperOS interface.
How can blur effects appear in HyperOS 3?
The HyperOS 3 update based on Android 16 will bring blur effects to many parts of the interface, and for users of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco devices, this will mean a cleaner and new look for the system.
As expected, new “blurs” will appear in the following elements of HyperOS 3:
- A quick settings panel with varying degrees of transparency
- Frosted Glass Application Panel
- The menu of the latest apps with a beautiful background blur
- Advanced visual PIN code entry screen
- A lock screen with a cleaner and neater design
These adjustments perfectly complement Xiaomi’s commitment to providing high-quality visuals in the proprietary HyperOS system for its devices, and the new effects give interface elements a more tactile and intuitive feel.
By the way, we recently provided a preliminary list of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco devices that are promised a HyperOS 3 update in the future.
