Mumbai, February 18: Xiaomi is reportedly making significant progress on its next major software iteration, with leaks confirming that the Android 17-based Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 is already in internal testing. The upcoming update surfaced through an unintentional global bug report, suggesting that the Chinese technology giant is moving toward a more self-developed system architecture. This new approach aims to further optimise performance and battery efficiency while maintaining full compatibility with core Google services.

While Xiaomi has temporarily paused current software rollouts until March due to the seasonal Chinese New Year holidays, the development of the Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 Android 17 update remains a top priority. The company intends to leverage Google’s next-generation operating system, which is expected to reach a stable release by June or July 2026, to enhance cross-device integration across its vast ecosystem of smartphones and tablets.

Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 Android 17 Features and Timeline

The transition to Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 Android 17 is expected to follow the brand's traditional rollout pattern, starting with flagship models before reaching mid-range and budget segments. Early reports indicate that the software will focus on a refined user interface and deeper AI integration. By adapting the Android 17 core, Xiaomi plans to offer early beta builds shortly after the official OS release from Google.

The emphasis on a self-developed architecture within HyperOS 4.0 suggests a move toward greater independence in how the software manages hardware resources. This is expected to result in a smoother user experience, particularly for multi-tasking and high-performance gaming, across the latest Xiaomi 17 and 15 series devices.

Xiaomi is internally testing HyperOS 4.0 based on Android 17, with leaks pointing to deeper AI integration, improved efficiency, and a more self-developed system architecture that still supports core Google services. Flagship models are expected to receive the update first once Android 17 stabilises. If delivered as planned, HyperOS 4.0 could mark a key step in Xiaomi’s push toward tighter ecosystem control and smarter cross-device experiences, potentially strengthening its competitiveness in an increasingly AI-driven smartphone market.
