Xiaomi has officially launched the HyperOS 4 beta program in China, beginning on August 14, 2026. The update, based on Android 17, is part of a three-phase rollout that will expand to more devices by September. The company confirmed the start of the beta distribution, targeting a select group of users.
The beta version is expected to be available on a range of Xiaomi smartphones and tablets. A list of supported devices has been shared, though details remain limited. The update includes the "soft-light glass" design, a new feature aimed at improving user experience.
The rollout follows Xiaomi’s announcement of the HyperOS 4 in early August. The beta program is open to users in China only, with no immediate plans for international expansion. The update is part of Xiaomi’s ongoing efforts to enhance its mobile operating system.
The company has not provided specific details on the features or performance improvements of the new firmware. However, the introduction of the "soft-light glass" design suggests a focus on visual and tactile enhancements for users.
