Xiaomi phone owners have a big update on the way. 9to5Google reports that the final version of HyperOS 4, based on Android 17, began rolling out on 3 November after a beta that started in August

The first wave covers the Xiaomi 17, 17T and 15 series, the Pad 8, Poco F8, X8, M8, C85 and C95 Pro, and the Redmi Note 17, Note 15, 17 and 15 series

In mid November, the Xiaomi 15T, Pad 7, Pad Mini and Poco F9, F7 and X7 follow. December brings the update to the MIX Flip and the Xiaomi 14 and 13 series, including phones as old as the 2022 Xiaomi 13T

New features include a redesign with glass like effects, more lock screen customisation, new home screen organisation and better floating apps. Xiaomi claims apps launch nearly 20 percent faster after about a day of AI learning. The rollout comes in waves, and some models appear in more than one group

Updating phones from 2022 is a good sign that Xiaomi is improving its long term support. A visual refresh and faster app launches should make older phones feel new again. Owners should check which wave their device falls into

Poco phones getting the update early is great for budget buyers. They offer excellent value. Good software support makes them even better. Liquid Glass style is spreading everywhere. Phones are starting to look alike
