Huawei Watch GT 6 India Launch Leak: Two Sizes, Stylish Colors, Long Battery New Delhi – July 23, 2025 By Michael B. Norris, Senior Tech Correspondent When I ran my first half-marathon wearing the Huawei Watch GT 5, I didn’t expect it to outperform my chest strap monitor. It was early morning, cool winds cutting through Lodhi Gardens, and I’d just passed the 8km mark. That’s when I glanced down at the GT 5 - expecting some lag or off-reading. But no - it was spot-on, closely mirroring my Polar heart rate strap. Even after two hours, the battery barely budged. That experience marked a turning point in how I viewed Huawei's smartwatches. The Watch GT series has always leaned into endurance over extravagance. With the Watch GT 6 expected this fall, Huawei seems to be refining this formula - this time offering two case sizes and an array of bold new colors aimed at casual users and fitness-minded customers alike. But behind the color names and numbers lies som...
Xiaomi HyperOS 3 Lock Screen Fonts Revealed: ZhuZi A YuanS, Coca Cola Care Coming Soon
Published on Jul. 19, 2025 \ By Michael B. Norris 8+ years exp in covering UX design
I still remember the first time I tried to customize my Xiaomi lock screen. It was 2021, and I had just unboxed a Redmi Note 10 Pro.
Sleek body, decent camera - but when I went to tweak the font to match my wallpaper's mood, the options were underwhelming.
Basic sans-serifs, a few heavyweights, but nothing expressive. As someone who believes typography isn’t just decoration - it’s emotion - I felt boxed in.
Last week, while exploring the latest test builds in the Mi Code repository, I noticed something new.
Tucked within lines of UI change logs were two unfamiliar font entries: FZFW ZhuZi A YuanS and Coca Cola Care.
At first, I thought they were internal test fonts. But then it clicked - Xiaomi is preparing to make fonts a bigger part of personal expression in its upcoming HyperOS 3 update, expected to launch this September.
And for users like me, who’ve craved a bit more soul in their smartphone’s interface, this might finally be it.
HyperOS 3: Xiaomi's Most Personal Update Yet
Following months of internal testing and community speculation, HyperOS 3 has now been officially identified within Xiaomi’s Mi Code - a strong sign that the rollout is imminent.
Xiaomi appears set to retain its versioning system (no confusing rebrands), which should ensure a smooth transition for existing HyperOS users.
But what's making the most noise in design circles isn’t the version number - it's the fonts.
Two Fonts, Two Worlds: ZhuZi A YuanS and Coca Cola Care
This font brings a refined, structured elegance. Its character spacing feels balanced, its stems and curves are sharply modern but not sterile.

Two Fonts, Two Worlds: ZhuZi A YuanS and Coca Cola Care
FZFW ZhuZi A YuanS
This font brings a refined, structured elegance. Its character spacing feels balanced, its stems and curves are sharply modern but not sterile.
Think of it as Xiaomi’s answer to Apple’s San Francisco, but with a slightly more human twist - especially noticeable in numerals and glyphs.
On the lock screen, it renders beautifully when paired with minimalist wallpapers and dark mode, giving the interface a mature and calm vibe.
The opposite of reserved, Coca Cola Care is a playful, script-style font, inspired by the bubbly curves of the Coca-Cola logo.

The opposite of reserved, Coca Cola Care is a playful, script-style font, inspired by the bubbly curves of the Coca-Cola logo.
It’s full of personality: friendly loops, variable line thickness, and a kind of hand-lettered flair that feels perfect for showcasing baby photos, pets, or travel snaps on your lock screen.
It’s the first time Xiaomi has leaned into branded aesthetics this boldly - and it shows.
Imagine unlocking your phone to a soft, hazy sunrise wallpaper.
With ZhuZi A YuanS, the clock sits crisp at the center, each digit evenly spaced, exuding order and serenity. Notifications tuck neatly underneath in matching weight.
Switch to Coca Cola Care, and suddenly the clock feels handwritten - curvy, expressive, and almost whimsical. The weather widget below appears like a note scribbled on a postcard.
Even without new animations, just the font change alone alters the emotional tone of your device.
Real Xiaomi Users Weigh In
“I’ve always felt MIUI lacked a font that felt modern but wasn’t robotic. This new ZhuZi font finally hits the sweet spot,” says Rajiv B., a Xiaomi 13 Pro user from Pune.
On Xiaomi community forums, early testers of HyperOS 3 beta builds are already discussing how the fonts affect usability.
“Coca Cola Care is cute, but a bit much for everyday use,” writes @miRitika in the Mi Global forum. “But for my kid’s lock screen, it’s perfect.”
Others are thrilled about finally being able to match their fonts to their themes without needing third-party apps or launchers.
In MIUI 14, font choices were limited and mostly functional. While you could change themes, actual font customizations were buried deep in the Theme Store, often requiring region-switching or third-party mods.
HyperOS 2.1 took a step forward with handwriting-style fonts like Personal Touch and Loopy, which offered a more casual look - but many found them inconsistent in readability, especially for notifications.
HyperOS 3’s approach is more curated. Instead of flooding users with endless font options, Xiaomi is offering distinct, well-designed choices that cover different emotional tones - structured vs. expressive.
Xiaomi is aiming for inclusivity with HyperOS 3. The update supports both Android 15 and Android 16, depending on hardware capabilities.

HyperOS 3's Wider Rollout Strategy
Xiaomi is aiming for inclusivity with HyperOS 3. The update supports both Android 15 and Android 16, depending on hardware capabilities.
That means even mid-tier phones like the Redmi Note 13 series could benefit from UI customization without needing flagship hardware.
The update will also introduce:
New lock screen animations
Photo carousel lock screens
And most notably, the Liquid Glass UI, a next-gen interface design that emphasizes fluidity, transparency, and tactile visuals - Xiaomi’s answer to Samsung’s One UI evolution.

Why Fonts Matter (More Than You Think)
For years, font updates in Android were an afterthought - buried behind battery stats and camera specs.
But in a world increasingly driven by visual identity and emotional design, typography is making a comeback.
Incorporating fonts like Coca Cola Care taps into brand nostalgia - while ZhuZi A YuanS offers minimalist elegance for professionals and design nerds alike.
By giving users control over how their phones speak visually, Xiaomi is making a subtle but significant move.

In the Android ecosystem, where every brand chases differentiation, fonts might just be the new wallpaper.
This update isn’t about functionality - it’s about feel.
Xiaomi seems to finally understand that a phone’s UI isn’t just a tool - it’s a canvas. Fonts are part of that canvas.
The Final Word: Xiaomi’s UX Philosophy Evolves
This update isn’t about functionality - it’s about feel.
Xiaomi seems to finally understand that a phone’s UI isn’t just a tool - it’s a canvas. Fonts are part of that canvas.
And with HyperOS 3, they’re letting users paint in their own voice - whether that's corporate-cool or Coca-Cola-kitsch.
And while it’s too soon to call HyperOS 3 a design revolution, it’s certainly a typographic awakening for Xiaomi users.
