HyperOS 4.0 is projected to support Xiaomi 14–17 series, select Redmi, and POCO flagships, based on current lifecycle commitments and internal testing reports. Users on eligible devices can expect performance, privacy, and multimedia improvements driven by Android 17’s platform-level changes.
What is HyperOS 4.0 (Android 17)?
HyperOS 4.0 is the fourth major version of Xiaomi’s unified operating system, built on top of Android 17. It retains full compatibility with Android native services while incorporating Xiaomi’s own system architecture and “Human x Car x Home” ecosystem integration.
Internal testing has been confirmed via a global bug report leak, with the Xiaomi 17 series serving as the primary development platform. The update’s primary focus is on runtime efficiency, memory management, and tighter integration with Xiaomi’s broader device ecosystem.
Android 17 introduces structural improvements to the Android Runtime (ART), stricter security protocols, and new multimedia codec support. HyperOS 4.0 layers Xiaomi-specific features — including an ecosystem casting feature codenamed “Active Mirroring” — on top of these platform changes [VERIFY for official feature naming].

Security & Privacy
- Cleartext Traffic Block: Applications will be restricted from transmitting unencrypted network data, reducing exposure to local network interception.
- Notification Sandbox: Custom notification views will face stricter rendering limits, preventing oversized or resource-intensive notification layouts.
Performance & Battery
- ART Generational GC reduces unnecessary background CPU wake cycles, contributing to improved battery efficiency during multitasking.
- Runtime optimizations are specifically targeted at improving performance consistency on older supported hardware.
