Xiaomi is preparing the launch of HyperOS 4, a major update for its ecosystem of mobiles, tablets, and wearables based on Android 17. According to Xiaomi’s official support page, the company has already confirmed a Developer Preview of Android 17 for the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15T Pro.
Which Xiaomi devices will get HyperOS 4?
Xiaomi has not yet released a definitive global list of compatible devices. However, by crossing company support policies with Android Enterprise Recommended certifications, approximately 50 smartphones from the Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO lines appear as likely candidates for the update.
The rollout will prioritize the newest hardware. High-end models like the Xiaomi 17 series and the Xiaomi 15T Pro are expected to receive stable versions between autumn and late 2026. Compatible Redmi and POCO devices will follow, with a deployment window potentially extending into early 2027 depending on the region and firmware variant.

What new features are coming to HyperOS 4?
HyperOS 4 aims to integrate deeply with the native AI functions of Android 17. According to the company’s roadmap, users can expect more efficient memory management, smoother animations, and overall performance gains.
Beyond Xiaomi’s custom layer, the update brings core Google Android 17 enhancements. These include reinforced anti-theft protection, tighter application permission controls, and revamped multitasking tools. Changes to the notification system and new security layers are also expected.
How does the rollout timeline work?
The deployment is not simultaneous. Android 17 reached a stable version in June, and Xiaomi began global testing with select models during the spring. In China, internal tests and closed betas typically launch first, with the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra serving as the primary testbeds.
Devices that have exhausted their update cycles, such as the Xiaomi 12 family and the Xiaomi 13 Lite, will not receive this version. This creates a clear divide between current-gen hardware and legacy devices that can no longer support the Android 17 kernel.
Comparison: Stable vs. Developer Preview
While the Developer Preview is already active for the Xiaomi 17 series, it is intended for programmers and testers. The stable version, expected in late 2026, will be the one optimized for daily use and general consumers.
