HyperOS 3 interface changes
When HyperOS 3 was first released in September, it included numerous interface-level improvements. HyperIsland, a pill-shaped notification area at the top of the screen, is one of the additions. It displays real-time activity and warnings.
When the gadget is plugged in, the function also offers details like charging speed, enabling consumers to quickly examine crucial information. Additionally, the update introduces a new “dual-island” design that allows users to handle tasks and apps from the same screen without having to navigate between them. Users can also use still photographs to create cinematic lock screens and dynamic backgrounds.
