HyperOS 4 will be a substantial upgrade for Xiaomi devices, offering a major visual upgrade, performance boost, and intelligent AI features. The beta program has been live for over a dozen phones in China, and the stable release should go live soon. Unfortunately, the list of eligible Xiaomi models may be smaller than we expected, as the company may skip the HyperOS 4 rollout to Android 16 devices.

Folks at Ximitime have found that, of the 112 devices expected to receive Android 17, 108 have entered HyperOS 4’s internal testing phases. Surprisingly, there’s not even a single Android 16 device on the list, which indicates Xiaomi isn’t preparing a HyperOS 4 build for an older OS.

Historically, Xiaomi has offered its latest HyperOS skin to a handful of devices stuck on an older OS. The last major upgrade, HyperOS 3, was also released to many Xiaomi devices running Android 15, although with a limited set of upgrades. That’s been true with most of the recent major HyperOS releases, and so, HyperOS 4 was also expected to follow the same pattern, but Xiaomi may have different plans.

Xiaomi may be rethinking its software rollout strategy

Unlike other brands, Xiaomi has long offered the latest HyperOS software to its devices running older Android OS versions. But things appear to be changing now. The latest information suggests that the brand will ship HyperOS 4 with Android 17 only, and that this trend may continue going further.

While there’s no official confirmation on this, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering recent efforts by other Chinese brands to reduce R&D costs. Xiaomi may also be looking to reduce costs and time, so this move makes sense for the brand.

The post HyperOS 4 update may skip more Xiaomi devices than we previously expected appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi has published a list of devices that are eligible to receive the new Soft Light Glass UI effect as part of the upcoming HyperOS 4 update. The list has been released for the Chinese market, but since it’s based on the chipset capabilities rather than market preference, equivalent global models should also receive the new feature.

The Soft Light Glass effect is heavily inspired by Apple’s Liquid Glass UI. Since it requires complex graphics rendering and interactive lighting effects, only select Xiaomi devices that meet the processing requirements will receive the feature with the HyperOS 4 update.

List of Xiaomi devices planned to receive the Soft Light Glass UI design

Xiaomi says the Soft Light Glass effect will not be available to all devices during the beta phase. The brand says this UI element needs further optimization; therefore, it will initially be available on devices with the Snapdragon 8 Elite or higher, the Dimensity 9500 or higher, and the Xring O1 or higher.

The good part is that the company plans to implement it on devices beyond those in the first phase of the beta rollout, including older models like the Redmi K70, Xiaomi 13, and Xiaomi MIX Flip.

The post Xiaomi reveals which devices will receive the HyperOS 4 Soft Light Glass effect appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi has begun rolling out the HyperOS 4 beta update to the first batch of eligible devices, which primarily includes recent high-end smartphones and tablets. The latest software introduces tons of changes and new features, so it is worth checking out if yours is in for a treat.

Xiaomi begins HyperOS 4 beta rollout for the first batch

The HyperOS 4 beta program is currently limited to China, and so the update is only rolling out in that region. The global rollout should follow soon.

• Xiaomi 17 Ultra
• Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition
• Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
• Xiaomi 17 Pro
• Xiaomi 17
• Redmi K90 Pro Max
• Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition
• Redmi K90

Xiaomi has already laid out plans for the HyperOS 4 beta rollout for the second batch (starting from August 27) and the third batch (starting from September 17), allowing more users to get an early taste of the software. You can check the complete rollout schedule here.

To receive the beta update, you must submit your beta application via the Xiaomi Community app. If your application gets selected, the beta update should arrive within a few days.

Xiaomi hasn’t announced its beta plans for the global audience. However, if past rollouts are any indication, the HyperOS 4 beta should be released globally in the next 2-3 weeks. We’ll let you know when that happens.

The post HyperOS 4 beta update is rolling out to these Xiaomi devices appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi started rolling out HyperOS 4 Beta to first set of devices today. Along with it came some rather bad news: the company also told miclaw beta testers that the AI agent will not work once they move to HyperOS 4.

The company sent an official notice today inviting current miclaw closed beta testers to try the HyperOS 4 Beta, which just opened for registration. But it also confirmed that the miclaw AI agent is not supported on the new software.

Xiaomi removes miclaw support in HyperOS 4

Here is how the process works. Once you register for the HyperOS 4 Beta through the miclaw testing program, Xiaomi pushes the update to your device automatically. You can check whether it has arrived by going to Settings, then My Device, then System Version Number. Installing the update removes you from the miclaw beta at the same time, so you cannot run both. If you want to keep using miclaw, Xiaomi says you need to stay on HyperOS 3.

This means testers who signed up specifically for miclaw have to choose one or the other for now. miclaw is built to go beyond a standard chatbot. Once you permit it, it reads your intent and carries out multi-step tasks across your phone’s apps and system tools. Losing that when you move to the new HyperOS 4 update is worth knowing before you upgrade.

Xiaomi has left the option open to change your mind. You can exit the HyperOS 4 Beta at any time by going to Xiaomi Community, then Official, then Internal Testing Center, then My Internal Testing, and selecting the exit option there. If you decide to join the beta again later, you can reapply from the same Internal Testing Center section whenever you want.

Xiaomi has not said when miclaw support might come to HyperOS 4. Both programs are still in early testing, so it is not unusual for one to lag behind the other, but for now, testers cannot use both features on the same phone.

Xiaomi has started rolling out the first beta version of HyperOS 4, bringing improvements focused on system performance, usability and artificial intelligence. The update also offers an early glimpse of Xiaomi’s much-rumoured wide foldable phone, which appeared in the company’s HyperOS 4 interface showcase. Continue reading ahead to know more in detail.

Xiaomi HyperOS 4: Performance and AI upgrades

HyperOS 4 is built around two main areas, with Xiaomi focusing on smoother everyday operation and more useful AI features. The company has added two technologies to its Xiaomi HyperCore architecture, namely load calculation and memory preloading. These changes are designed to manage system resources more efficiently and reduce the workload associated with frequently used functions.

Xiaomi has also created a new HyperOS application runtime environment. The company says optimization has been carried out across both the core system and application layers, particularly for the desktop and some frequently used applications. The changes are aimed at improving animation performance and making everyday interactions feel more responsive.

AI is another major part of HyperOS 4. Xiaomi has introduced Super XiaoAi 2.0, which integrates the company’s Xiaomi MiMo large language model. The upgraded assistant gets improved task planning and content generation capabilities, along with optimisation for scenarios involving multiple applications and devices.

Xiaomi HyperOS 4: Beta devices and rollout

The first HyperOS 4 beta recruitment has opened for the following devices:

• Xiaomi 17 Ultra
• Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition
• Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
• Xiaomi 17 Pro
• Xiaomi 17
• Redmi K90 Pro Max
• Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition
• Redmi K90
• Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro
• Xiaomi Pad 8

Xiaomi has also showcased an unannounced wide foldable phone while demonstrating HyperOS 4’s interface across different screen formats. The device appears to have a wider inner display and dedicated software optimisation for its foldable design.

The post Xiaomi officially hints at wide foldable as HyperOS 4 beta rolls out to first devices appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi has been working on HyperOS 4 for quite a while now. The Android 17-based software is expected to begin rolling out later this year, but a beta program will launch months earlier for testers. Well, we may finally have a specific date for when that could begin, and that is August 7.

According to information shared by the Chinese tipster, CoolAPK (via Ximitime), Xiaomi will start teasing HyperOS 4 on August 5. On the same day, the beta application could go live, while the launch event is expected to be held on the next day, August 6. The very next day, the first batch of beta rollout may kick off.

Please keep in mind that the information is based solely on a leak and has no official confirmation. Hence, it’s advised to consume it with a pinch of salt. Even if the leak proves true, it would apply to users in China. International users might need to wait a few more weeks to get into the beta program.

As for the changes, HyperOS 4 is expected to offer major visual refinements, including an upgraded Liquid Glass design with real-time light field rendering, redesigned 2.5D icons with enhanced depth and shadows, and reworked system animations. The Control Center and notifications cards could feature frosted, translucent layering.

HyperOS 4 is said to extend the Leica partnership to introduce Leica-themed icon colorways, light effects, and system sounds. It could introduce a dynamic, island-style interface element at the top of the screen for Xiaomi’s AI assistant and real-time alerts. The upcoming software could also offer stacked widgets, and the lock-screen notification may follow a cleaner, stacked layout. You can read more about the upcoming changes here.

We’ll keep you posted as we receive fresh details.

The post Xiaomi’s HyperOS 4 beta release plans may have just got leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi’s next major software release appears to be getting closer. Industry insiders suggest that HyperOS 4 could make its official debut as early as next month (August), bringing a redesigned interface, extensive under-the-hood changes and several AI-powered enhancements for compatible Xiaomi devices.

HyperOS 4: Performance, design and AI upgrades

According to leaks from Chinese sources, HyperOS 4 has been rebuilt using the Rust programming language alongside the Flutter development framework for its core components. The update is said to remove legacy MIUI code completely, resulting in a cleaner system architecture.

Early test figures suggest the new software could improve overall system smoothness by around 40 percent, increase background app retention by 35 percent, and reduce idle memory consumption by 25 to 30 percent. Reports also claim that performance degradation after a year of continuous use could be limited to just 5 percent.

HyperOS 4 is also expected to introduce Xiaomi’s new Liquid Glass design language, featuring softer 2.5D-inspired visuals and two interface styles, including Transparent and Soft modes. The update is tipped to strengthen cross-device connectivity across smartphones, tablets, smart home products, and vehicles.

File transfer speeds between supported devices could increase by up to 300 percent, while app continuity across screens is also expected to become more seamless. A unified AI coordination framework is said to improve communication between Xiaomi devices.

The update is also rumored to integrate Xiaomi’s on-device AI models, including Mimo and the Miclaw AI agent, enabling offline features such as document summarization, multilingual translation and AI image editing. Since these capabilities run locally, they are expected to offer better privacy while delivering responses significantly faster than cloud-based AI services.

If the current timeline remains unchanged, HyperOS 4 could debut alongside the Xiaomi 18 series or Xiaomi’s next-generation foldable smartphone before gradually rolling out to devices such as the Xiaomi 17 series, Xiaomi 15 series and Redmi K90 series.

The post Xiaomi HyperOS 4 tipped to launch next month with major performance upgrades appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi was expected to release Android 17 soon, with a new HyperOS 4 custom skin on top, but now it seems the company may have different plans. Leaked internal firmware files for Xiaomi’s latest flagship phones suggest the company may be developing HyperOS 3.3 based on Android 17.

The Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra have been spotted (via Ximitime) with an unreleased HyperOS 3.3 firmware version, based on Android 17. While these are internal engineering builds and not intended for public release, they suggest Xiaomi may be testing them behind the scenes for a wider release later this year.

• Xiaomi 17: OS3.0.330.11.XPCCNXM
• Xiaomi 17 Ultra: OS3.0.330.8.XPACNXM

Interestingly, these builds have no mention of HyperOS 4, which was expected to be released with Android 17. However, since the new firmware is still under internal testing, I’d wait for more concrete details before reaching a conclusion.

That wait isn’t going to be much longer, as the next major HyperOS version, based on Android 17, has been officially confirmed for release in July or August. Ahead of the release, we can expect official teasers that should reveal whether it’s HyperOS 3.3 or HyperOS 4.0 coming to your phone.

Regardless of the HyperOS versions, we expect to see major upgrades to personal intelligence, new UI elements, deeper liquid glass UI integration, and plenty of under-the-hood improvements to make the system faster and more responsive. So, there’s a lot to look forward to with the upcoming HyperOS update.

In case you haven’t checked whether your Xiaomi device is eligible for the next big HyperOS 4 update, check out the complete list on this page.

We’ll keep you posted as we receive fresh details. You can visit the Xiaomi section on this website to stay updated, or simply join our Telegram channel to receive instant notifications.

The post Xiaomi is preparing a new HyperOS update based on Android 17, but it’s not HyperOS 4 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last updated: July 17, 2026

When is HyperOS 4 coming?

Xiaomi has officially confirmed HyperOS 4 will be unveiled in July or August 2026, starting with China; the global announcement typically follows a few weeks later. Leaks point to the Xiaomi 17 series and Redmi K90 series forming the first beta batch, with the stable rollout expected to reach older devices around October 2026. Current flagships are already moving to Android 17 through the interim HyperOS 3.3 update.

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.

This page is part of our Xiaomi hub, where every Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO rollout is tracked in one place. Following other brands too? See the Android Update Tracker for Samsung, OnePlus, OPPO, Vivo and more.

Which devices will get HyperOS 4?

Note: Xiaomi has yet to publish an official list of HyperOS 4-supported devices. Our list is compiled from Xiaomi’s software update policies and is updated as new devices are confirmed.

In short: every recent Xiaomi flagship back to the Xiaomi 13T, the Redmi Note 14, 15 and 17 series, the Redmi K90 series, and POCO’s F6-to-F8 and X6-to-X8 lines, plus recent Redmi Pad and POCO Pad tablets,, are in line for HyperOS 4.

We maintain the complete, device-by-device list on a single page and update it as eligibility changes.

Check the full list of HyperOS 4 eligible devices for Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO to find your exact model.

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.

Meanwhile, the groundwork has already started: on July 15, Xiaomi began rolling out HyperOS 3.3, an interim update that moves current flagships like the Xiaomi 17 series to Android 17 ahead of HyperOS 4’s arrival. Don’t expect new features from it, the visual overhaul and headline additions are reserved for HyperOS 4 itself.

As for which phone debuts the new software, it may not be the Xiaomi 18 series first:- Xiaomi’s upcoming foldable, tipped to run HyperOS 4 out of the box, could beat it to launch.

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.

More recent leaks put numbers on the overhaul: early test figures suggest HyperOS 4 could improve overall system smoothness by around 40 percent, increase background app retention by 35 percent, and cut idle memory use by a quarter. The Liquid Glass design is said to come in two styles, Transparent and Soft and Xiaomi’s on-device AI models, including MiMo and the Miclaw agent, are expected to power offline document summarization, translation and image editing, with cross-device file transfers up to three times faster.

We’ll keep you posted as we receive fresh details.

With the stable Android 17 release approaching soon, many Xiaomi users are wondering whether their devices will receive the next major upgrade, which will also bring a new HyperOS 4 skin on top. So, we’ve prepared a list of devices that are likely to receive the update once the rollout begins later this year.

Which devices get HyperOS 4?

Every recent Xiaomi flagship back to the Xiaomi 13T, the Redmi Note 14, 15 and 17 series, the Redmi K90 series, and POCO’s F6-to-F8, X6-to-X8 and current M and C series — plus Redmi Pad and POCO Pad tablets — are in line for HyperOS 4, based on Android 17. Xiaomi will unveil the update in July or August 2026, with the rollout expected to reach older devices around October. The full brand-by-brand list is below.

While Xiaomi hasn’t revealed anything about HyperOS 4, early leaks suggest it could be a big upgrade rather than just an incremental yearly update. Hence, we’re really looking forward to this upgrade, which should be released for the devices listed below.

For every Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO rollout in one place including this list, bookmark our Xiaomi hub page. We track other brands too: the Android Update Tracker covers Samsung, OnePlus, OPPO, Vivo, Nothing and more.

HyperOS 4 update is coming to these Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices

Let me be clear. Xiaomi hasn’t published such a list, so we had to dig through the update policy for every single device to find out if it’s eligible or not. We didn’t include devices we weren’t confident about. So, even though it’s an unofficial list, it will hardly differ much from the official one.

The post Xiaomi HyperOS 4 (Android 17) update: Full list of eligible devices appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi today officially confirmed that a new version of its HyperOS is on the way with a big change under the hood. The announcement came during Xiaomi’s Q1 2026 earnings call, where the company shared strong financial results. 

Xiaomi reported total revenue of 99.1 billion yuan and an adjusted net profit of 6.1 billion yuan. The company also said that it is among the top three smartphone brands globally for 23 straight quarters in terms of shipments.

According to Xiaomi, its smartphone business is also moving further into the premium segment. The global average selling price of its smartphones increased by 8.2% year-on-year to reach a new record high. And in mainland China, high-end smartphones now account for 23.5% of Xiaomi’s total smartphone sales.

AI is a big part of HyperOS 4

During the earnings call, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi, said that Xiaomi will continue its high-end and global expansion strategies. He also touts artificial intelligence as a major focus for the company’s future smartphone plans.

Lu says AI is the biggest growth opportunity for the smartphone industry, and Xiaomi is determined to reshape its phone business around it. He also mentions that the merger of “AI” and “miclaw” this year will be an important milestone for the company.

miclaw is Xiaomi’s autonomous AI assistant for smartphones. It can carry out tasks across apps and system features.

More importantly for users, Lu confirms that Xiaomi will release a “new generation” of operating system in either July or August this year. While he did not directly mention the name, it’s safe to assume it’s the HyperOS 4.

According to earlier information, Xiaomi’s next-generation system may replace parts of its current framework with a self-developed native architecture. At the same time, Xiaomi is expected to keep native Android services for now to avoid app compatibility problems.

Xiaomi may already be developing HyperOS 4, as leaks have begun surfacing online, revealing key elements. A fresh leak suggests that HyperOS 4 won’t be just another upgrade, but a major one with significant visual changes and premium Leica color palette integration.

The latest information comes from a Chinese tipster, Smart Pikachu, via a Chinese microblogging site Weibo. He claims that the upcoming HyperOS 4 will feature significant changes to the core user interface. While the leak doesn’t go into detail, it suggests the company might be switching from its familiar design language to a highly modernized, cohesive look for its next-generation OS.

The leakster also claims Xiaomi is developing a Leica color palette to integrate into the upcoming major HyperOS release. Again, no specific details were provided, but it likely points to a premium, high-contrast aesthetic for the system UI, which was previously reserved for the camera application.

While we are yet to see these changes in action, they sound exciting. Xiaomi’s software team appears to be working hard in the background to ensure HyperOS 4 feels more premium and feature-rich. According to Ximitime’s industry sources, changes in HyperOS 4 go much deeper than just a superficial visual refresh.

Xiaomi may also be working on a deeper, bigger change that most people wouldn’t even notice. According to past leaks, the company is removing remnants of the legacy MIUI framework. The core system applications for HyperOS 4 will reportedly be rewritten using the RUST programming language, offering better system fluidity and security.

While Xiaomi hasn’t officially revealed anything about HyperOS 4, reports say it could debut alongside the upcoming Xiaomi 18 series in Q3 2026, with beta testing beginning in August.

When Will the Android 17 Update Drop?

Google’s Android 17 stable release is expected around June–July 2026, and Xiaomi should adapt its custom skin with the major OS upgrade. Early beta builds are likely to roll out soon after the official Android launch, with flagship Xiaomi phones and high-end tablets getting first access. Broader rollout to mid-range and budget models could stretch into late 2026 and early 2027, depending on regional testing and certification.

There’s More

According to the XiaomiTime report, some devices that are relatively new still won’t get Android 17 (For example, the Redmi Note 14 5G and POCO M7 Pro 5G). Xiaomi typically launches the first beta update during the Google I/O event, and based on the previous rollout, the Xiaomi 17 series should get the update first, including the upcoming Xiaomi 17T Pro.

Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report based on Xiaomi’s official policy and software support. So take this list with a pinch of salt and stick around for more.

The post Every Xiaomi, Redmi, & POCO Devices Set to Get the Android 17 Based HyperOS Update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi is moving closer to a more independent software stack with its upcoming HyperOS 4, as new reports suggest the company is gradually removing legacy MIUI-era code and replacing parts of the system with its own architecture.

According to a leak by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi’s next-generation system could replace parts of the underlying framework with a native, self-developed one. 

The company is also expected to integrate its own AI model at the system level. For now, though, native Android services are likely to remain in place to avoid app compatibility issues. 

The shift is not surprising. Xiaomi itself confirmed in January its aim to achieve “grand convergence” in 2026 with a self-developed chip, operating system, and large AI models on a single device. As you might know, Xiaomi’s XRING O1 chip, introduced in 2025, is the first step of this transition. 

Behind the scenes, Xiaomi is already preparing for that transition. Reports from Xiaomitime claim that some system modules in HyperOS 3.1, including the Weather and Photo Album apps, have begun removing MIUI-era SDK components. HyperOS 4, expected to launch in August, could be the first version described as a “zero legacy” release.

Xiaomi is also experimenting with rewriting core system apps using Google’s Flutter framework and the Rust programming language. The company could be moving toward a more modular system architecture, where components can be updated or replaced more easily.

For now, HyperOS 3.1 is said to act as a transitional release. It introduces a native HyperOS SDK while still keeping the older MIUI SDK in place to maintain stability and compatibility.

The HyperOS 3 rollout is still underway, but it appears the brand has already begun working on its next iteration, HyperOS 4. Xiaomi may have accidentally mentioned it in an official announcement on the global bug report channel.

The next major HyperOS upgrade was mentioned in issue #6 of the latest weekly bug report, which concerns the system launcher force-closing issue. The status of the issue reads, “the fix will be implemented in the upcoming OS4 Major Update.” Here, OS4 refers to the HyperOS 4 update.

HyperOS 4 update might arrive early

This is the first time Xiaomi has officially mentioned HyperOS 4. The bug report channel doesn’t reveal anything else. However, it suggests that Xiaomi may already be working on HyperOS 4, especially since multiple users are facing issues, and fixes for them will be included in the next upgrade. The update could also arrive earlier than we’re expecting.

This year, Google released Android 16 in June, earlier than its usual timeline. Samsung was quick to follow it up with a stable release in July, while other brands took a little longer. The tech giant is expected to follow a similar timeline for Android 17. So, a quicker HyperOS 4 release is definitely on the cards.

This also means Xiaomi may not have enough time to prepare for HyperOS 3.1. Therefore, the brand may skip this incremental upgrade and instead focus directly on HyperOS 4.

As of writing this post, Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed anything regarding HyperOS 4, including an early release. However, it’s unusual to mention “OS4” when there are dozens of devices waiting for HyperOS 3. Anyway, we’ll keep you posted with the latest developments around HyperOS in our Xiaomi section.
