Xiaomi has begun pushing out the stable version of HyperOS 4 to eligible phones and tablets, the company announced on Wednesday, 4 November. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is among the first devices to get the update, along with other Xiaomi 17 series models and Xiaomi 15 phones. The details in this report come from Xiaomi's own announcement and from earlier reports on its plans.

Which devices come first

According to the company, Poco phones are also due in early November. These include the Poco F8, Poco X8 and Poco M8 lineups, and the Poco C95 Pro and C85. Redmi models are part of the first batch too: the Redmi Note 17 and Note 15 series, the Redmi 17 series and the Redmi 15 range. The Xiaomi Pad 8 series, a tablet line, is also in the first group.

The company has not given a fixed date for each device. Owners should check their phone's software update screen to see when the update reaches them.

What the update brings

HyperOS 4 is built on Android 17. Earlier reports on Xiaomi's plans describe a redesigned look called Soft Light Glass, with translucent menus, a reworked control centre and smoother animations. Users can also expect more lock screen and clock options, improved widgets and resizable folders.

Xiaomi has also said it is working on speed. The plans describe faster loading for system apps, more efficient memory use and quicker camera launches and HDR photo processing. The update is also linked to new AI tools powered by Super XiaoAi 2.0 and MiMo, which could offer on-screen suggestions and help with reports and presentations.

What it means for users in India

Redmi, Poco and Xiaomi are among the most popular phone brands in India, so the first-wave list includes many handsets sold there. Owners of these models can expect the update in the coming weeks. Those on older devices should wait for a later batch.

The company has not said whether the update will reach every device in India on the same day, or how large the download will be. Those details are not yet known.
