Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 Android 17 Update: Development Underway for New Software Architecture; Check List of Eligible Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO Devices
Xiaomi is developing its Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 Android 17 update, featuring a new self-developed architecture for improved efficiency. Internal testing has begun, with a stable rollout expected following Google’s Android 17 launch in mid-2026. The update will support a broad range of premium and budget devices across Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO.
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 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.
