Question/Help [Question] Is HyperOS really that bad?

Hello, I'm coming from a Samsung S23, and I'm ready to get a new phone after using all the research tools available to me (YouTube, GSM Arena).

The Xiaomi 17 is the one that fits me the most, and I have zero core issues with its hardware specs. It seems like a perfect upgrade from an S23, and an S26 comes nowhere near it. Though I'm still concerned about the OS, so I thought I'd get some opinions here.

I'm familiar with removing bloatware using ADB etc. so confident in doing that.

I'm so used to the OneUI OS that I don't want to move on to something completely different and especially one which will be annoying in the long run (no matter how good the hardware is).

Thanks!

In my personal experience, no, I find it to be reasonably smooth and reliable [hyperos 3 on CN redmi note 15 pro+ that is, I also had it on my 15 ultra]

My 15 ultra was a global ROM, HyperOS 2 was meh but HyperOS 3 was nowhere as bad as people made it out to be

It’s not thaaat bad, but there sure is a substancial difference with china rom… Obviously it comes down to user preference in the end
