One of Android’s biggest software rollouts is here, with over 80 devices on the guest list

Xiaomi has announced a major software update, HyperOS 4, that will roll out to over 80 devices globally. The software upgrade will be released in three waves, starting in early November and expanding to more devices by December. The new version brings a glass-inspired redesign, new customization options, and Android 17-based improvements.

Xiaomi has borrowed from Apple's design playbook with its translucent HyperOS 4 interface, but it seems the Chinese manufacturer is not shy about borrowing a page from its competitor. The global rollout calendar marks a significant expansion from the previous beta program, which initially targeted a handful of flagships. Now, the guest list includes 82 phones and tablets from Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO.
