Xiaomi has announced HyperOS 4, its custom operating system based on Android 17, along with a list of eligible Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices. The update introduces a liquid glass-like interface, adjustable widget sizes, stacked notifications, and AI-powered tools for image editing, writing, translations, and audio transcription.
Beta testing will roll out in phases, starting in China from August 27, with a second phase beginning September 17 and a third phase from a later date. The global rollout, including India, will follow after the initial Chinese phases. Eligible devices include the Xiaomi 17 series, Redmi K90 series, and Poco X and M series, with 11 Xiaomi devices in the first beta phase alone.
HyperOS 4 is also designed to improve speed and smoothness on older devices, enabling faster app loading and better performance during heavy tasks. The announcement comes two months after Google released Android 17 for its Pixel phones.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Xiaomi's HyperOS 4 update arrives two months after Google released Android 17 for Pixels, a typical timeline for Xiaomi's custom skin rollout. The beta phases mean most users will wait weeks or months for a stable build. Xiaomi has been criticised for slow updates on older devices, so the claim of improved performance on older hardware will be closely watched. The real test will be how many of the listed devices actually receive the update within a year. The first stable build for global devices is expected by late 2026.
