Pengpai OS 3 Beta introduces a refined UI, dynamic islands, deep Apple ecosystem integration, and advanced Xiaoai AI features. Here is what users can expect from the upcoming release.
The latest Pengpai OS 3 Beta introduces fresh design changes and smart connectivity, giving Xiaomi users a taste of a more intelligent and unified system.
Smarter islands for multitasking
The long-awaited interactive islands are finally available. They display essential information in real time, while also offering quick actions such as ride-hailing or message replies without leaving the current app.
Users can now drag and drop shared trips directly from supported apps. Switching between the three islands feels smooth, though broader third-party support is still expected when the stable version launches.
Refined design with fluid visuals
Pengpai OS 3 Beta brings a major visual refresh. App icons have been redrawn, and the search interface now features a glossy blur effect, similar to Apple’s iOS “liquid glass” style. The result feels polished and modern.
The status bar has also been reworked with a cleaner look. Paired with the redesigned pull-down notification panel, the overall appearance is more consistent. Updated widgets and animated lock screen templates further enhance the fresh layout.
Seamless cross-device connectivity
Pengpai OS 3 Beta strengthens cross-device interactions. With NFC enabled, two devices can instantly share photos, videos, or Wi-Fi credentials by touching together, making transfers nearly effortless.
Apple users are not left behind. The system allows iPhone photos to be sent directly to Xiaomi phones via WeChat, while notifications from iOS can be mirrored. This cross-platform flow reduces ecosystem barriers significantly.
Expanded Miaoxiang Desktop features
Miaoxiang Desktop now extends beyond phones, bringing mobile apps into iPad and Mac windows. This enables multitasking between mobile and desktop environments in a natural way.
The update also integrates Touch ID unlocking, adding security and convenience. This step positions Pengpai OS as a versatile platform for both work and entertainment across devices.
Enhanced Xiaoai assistant
Super Xiaoai receives deeper intelligence with new multimodal understanding. It can recognize on-screen context and respond with relevant actions, simplifying daily use.
For example,
Xiaoai can instantly open coupons, display delivery return codes, or hail a ride with a single voice request. It also allows one-click navigation or article collection directly within supported apps.
Beta status and expectations
While Pengpai OS 3 Beta is already delivering impressive improvements, it is still a test version. Some features require wider third-party integration before becoming fully reliable.
Xiaomi is expected to accelerate the rollout of the official release, which will expand compatibility and polish the experience further. Users should anticipate quick updates leading up to general availability.
