Xiaomi's next flagship phone might include an audio feature previously used by a competitor.

This update suggests Xiaomi is trying to keep pace with its competitors. Apple's iPhones, for example, have had "Audio Zoom" for some time. This feature enhances the audio of a subject when visually zooming in, creating a smooth video recording. Google Pixel also offers a similar "Speech Enhancement" feature. While OZO's features may be more extensive, other manufacturers have already set standards for intelligent audio capture.

Adding OZO Audio is a beneficial move for Xiaomi. It improves the professional camera systems on its high-end phones, providing content creators with more tools. This feature will not be limited to the new Xiaomi 16 series. It will also be available on older models like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and 15 series via a HyperOS 3 update. This upgrade adds useful value, even though the technology has been around for a while.

We are excited to announce that we have been working on a passion project for the past year and it will be released in a few short months.
