Xiaomi has started beta recruitment for HyperOS 4 on its flagship 17 Ultra, revealing a set of 10 notable new features. This update brings a fresh Glass UI design along with innovations in widgets, device connection, AI functionality, and productivity tools.
HyperOS 4 Features Highlighted in Beta Onboarding Leak
The HyperOS 4 beta onboarding leak details key improvements, though some features will be limited to Xiaomi’s flagship phones. The most prominent visual update is the Glass UI, marked by transparency and layered effects, which will be fully available only on flagship models like the 17 Ultra. Other devices will receive a basic form of the design.
Among the interface enhancements are a Glass-style lock screen and a new widget stacking feature that lets users organize multiple widgets in the same space, improving home screen management. Folder sizes can now be adjusted, supporting large folders with easy size switching.
Expanded Ecosystem and AI Upgrades
HyperOS 4 introduces a redesigned HyperConnect device center with a Glass-theme aesthetic. This central hub aims to streamline connections with nearby devices, though specific technical details have not yet been confirmed.
The AI assistant, Super XiaoAI, gains an Expert Mode and a floating UI element, enhancing interaction without interrupting ongoing tasks. Productivity-focused AI Notes now offer meeting summary generation and task extraction, helping users organize information automatically.
The update also integrates Xiaomi Intelligent Input Method improvements, featuring embedded AI tools to enhance text entry and prediction.
Availability and Beta Testing
The HyperOS 4 beta program is officially open for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. The recruitment phase signals the start of stable testing, expected to precede a wider rollout. At present, details on exact release timing or supported regions remain unconfirmed.
Users interested in participating in the beta can apply through official channels. Feature availability beyond the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is likely limited, especially for the Glass UI, which is primarily intended for flagship devices.
