Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.1 update is here, and it brings one of the most exciting changes yet – a completely redesigned Control Centre. If you’ve been waiting for smoother navigation, better customization, and a modern look, this update is worth checking out.
The Control Centre now looks more polished and modern. Animations are smoother, spacing feels balanced, and the overall layout is easier on the eyes—very much in line with Xiaomi’s push toward a premium UI experience.
The headline feature is the matured Super Island (formerly HyperIsland).
Dynamic Lighting: When you play music, the player tile in the Control Center now pulses with dynamic lighting effects that sync with the rhythm.
Live Status: Long-press the media player, and it expands into a mini-dashboard within the Control Center, allowing for deeper controls without leaving the shade.
