Xiaomi has officially announced the first batch of devices eligible to receive the HyperOS 4 beta update. This upgrade brings Android 17 support and introduces new features, including a notable Glass Effect inspired by Apple’s design language.
HyperOS 4 Beta Rollout Schedule and Eligible Devices
The rollout will begin on August 14 and extend through September 17, divided into three batches. The company has made public the list of devices included in the initial waves, with the Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro 12.5 confirmed as part of the first group to receive the update.
Other specific devices in the second and third batches have not been detailed yet, but Xiaomi’s executive Lu Weibing has highlighted that updates will roll out progressively. Users of the confirmed models should prepare for an upgrade bringing new visual elements and enhanced performance under Android 17.
What to Expect from HyperOS 4
The upgrade introduces the Glass Effect UI, which enhances the look and feel of system interfaces with translucent, layered visual elements. This design choice reflects a trend towards more elegant and modern user interfaces seen in competitors’ systems.
Additional features and improvements aligned with the Android 17 base are expected, although Xiaomi has not provided a full changelog at this time.
