- Xiaomi has opened global beta recruitment for HyperOS 4 for the Xiaomi 17, 17 Ultra, and Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi.
- The Xiaomi 17T series and Xiaomi 15 series will become eligible on September 17.
- HyperOS 4 introduces a translucent Soft Light Glass design, stacked widgets, grouped notifications, and a redesigned device hub.
Most Android brands bundle Google’s latest platform changes with their own features and visual upgrades. Xiaomi prefers to split the job. The company rolled out stable Android 17 to the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra in July while keeping them on last year’s HyperOS 3 interface. That update laid the foundation for the bigger changes coming with HyperOS 4, whose global beta program is now open.
In a community post, Xiaomi says it is initially recruiting owners of the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi. The program supports Global and European (EEA) software builds, with applications available through Xiaomi Community > ME > Beta testing > Recruiting test.
