Android 17 has just landed on Google Pixels, and it will soon start rolling out to Xiaomi devices. However, this will be a much bigger upgrade for Xiaomi devices as the new HyperOS 4 skin reportedly offers a significant software and architectural overhaul rather than an incremental yearly upgrade.
Besides major under-the-hood changes, the upcoming HyperOS 4.0, based on Android 17, is expected to introduce a host of visual upgrades, an interactive lock screen island, deeper contextual AI productivity features, and stronger privacy and security capabilities. So, there’s a lot to look forward to in terms of new features and capabilities.
Now, if you have a Xiaomi phone, you may be wondering when the update will roll out. So, we’ve created this comprehensive HyperOS 4 post that covers eligible devices, release date, new features, and everything else you need to know.

If your Xiaomi device is on the list, it’s almost certain to receive the HyperOS 4 update.
It’s important to note that the brand hasn’t announced update policies for many devices, particularly entry-level and budget phones, making it difficult to know whether they will receive Android 17 updates. To keep the list as accurate as possible, we skipped devices that we weren’t confident about.
Xiaomi HyperOS 4 release date
While an exact release date hasn’t been announced, Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the HyperOS 4 will be unveiled in July or August. This likely refers to the China launch, while the global announcement may follow after a few weeks.
As always, there will be a beta program first before the stable version rolls out to the public. Leakster Digital Chat Station has revealed the phones that will be a part of the first batch of the HyperOS 4 beta program in China. This includes:
- Xiaomi 17
- Xiaomi 17 Pro
- Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
- Xiaomi 17 Ultra
- Xiaomi 17 Max
- Redmi K90
- Redmi K90 Pro Max
- Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition
Last year, Xiaomi unveiled HyperOS 3 in China in August, followed by a global launch in September. It will likely follow the same timeline this year for HyperOS 4, so we can expect the global rollout to begin in October 2026.
What to expect from HyperOS 4?
While the official launch is still a few weeks away, several leaks have surfaced online, revealing what’s to come. They suggest Xiaomi is focusing heavily on a “Zero-Legacy” framework built on Android 17. Under this framework, Xiaomi is aggressively purging old legacy code and SDKs to reduce system bloat.
Xiaomi is reportedly rewriting core system applications and frameworks using Rust and Flutter to improve memory safety, background optimization, and cross-device UI consistency. This will also help the software achieve lower RAM usage, faster boot times, and reduced animation stutters.
The company offered a glimpse of its liquid-glass design in HyperOS 3, which is expected to be integrated more deeply into HyperOS 4, featuring fluid aesthetics, glossy overlays, frosted-glass transparency, and advanced bounce animations. A leak suggests Xiaomi could extend the partnership with Leica to introduce the Leica-inspired color palette in HyperOS 4.
Several leakers say Xiaomi could integrate a privacy screen feature that narrows the viewing angle, similar to how Privacy Display works on the Galaxy S26. The difference is that Samsung’s implementation uses hardware, while Xiaomi is reportedly trying to achieve the same via software. It will be exciting to compare both.
Furthermore, HyperOS 4 is expected to feature smarter cross-device multitasking, highly optimized background task management, and deeper contextual AI productivity features for daily workflows.
In addition to these features and many more we still don’t know about, the next major upgrade for Xiaomi devices will include many features and upgrades from the development team at Google. This appears to be an exciting update package, and like you, we can’t wait to test it out.
