  "account": "Xiaomi has begun rolling out its latest HyperOS 4 update in China, but older phone models are being left behind. The update, which gives Xiaomi's software a new see-through appearance reminiscent of Apple's Liquid Glass, started on October 15, 2026, and initially covered the Xiaomi 17 series, Redmi K100 and K90 series, and Xiaomi Pad 8. However, older phones like the Xiaomi 12 and 12T are not included in this first batch. Xiaomi has not confirmed whether these older models will receive HyperOS 4 or not. The rollout will continue through January 2027, with more models added in waves, including the Xiaomi 17 Max, 17T, 17T Pro, Redmi K90 Max, Redmi Turbo 5 series, Xiaomi 15 series, MIX Flip 2, Civi 5 Pro, and Redmi K80 series. Despite promising seven years of software support, some models like the Xiaomi 12 and 12T only receive four OS updates and six years of security patches. Xiaomi's new design, Soft Light Glass, adjusts its transparency based on the colors and content behind it, and the lock screen's clock can be resized, moved, and restyled. The full effect of HyperOS 4 is only available on phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite, Dimensity 9500, or Xiaomi's XRING O1 chip or newer.",
