Xiaomi has started distributing the new HyperOS 4 update, based on Android 17, to a range of devices. The update brings a redesigned 'Liquid Glass' style, lock screen customization options, and a significant performance boost: apps open about 20% faster after a day of use, thanks to an AI algorithm that learns usage patterns. The rollout is phased: the first wave includes the Xiaomi 17 and 15 series, Poco F8, X8, and M8, and Redmi Note 17 and 15. Older devices, such as the 13 and 14 series, are expected to receive the update over the next month and in December. The article relies on official Xiaomi announcements and technology sources.
