Xiaomi’s HyperOS 4.0, built on Android 17, brings AI‑powered performance tweaks, longer battery life, and a revamped gaming mode to 25 Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones. The update launches first on flagship models before spreading to mid‑range devices, delivering a smoother UI and on‑device AI features without extra cost to you. You’ll notice faster app launches and more responsive gameplay right away.
Performance, Battery and Gaming Enhancements
Leaner Kernel and Smarter Background Management
The new OS trims the kernel to reduce overhead, while an AI‑driven task scheduler closes idle apps before they drain power. Result: everyday tasks feel snappier and you get up to 15% more screen‑on time.
Revamped Game Turbo Mode
Game Turbo now taps Android 17’s low‑latency graphics stack, delivering higher frame rates and lower input lag. If you game on the go, the experience feels noticeably smoother.
- Dynamic resolution scaling based on device temperature
- Automatic network optimization for multiplayer sessions
- One‑tap performance boost that you can enable before launching a game
Device Rollout Plan
HyperOS 4.0 will be pushed to three brand families in a staged approach:
- Flagship tier: All Xiaomi 17 series devices
- Upper‑mid tier: Selected Redmi models
- Entry tier: Chosen POCO phones
The staggered rollout lets Xiaomi iron out bugs on high‑end hardware before the update reaches devices with tighter memory constraints.
What Developers Can Expect
Android 17 introduces on‑device AI APIs that let apps run inference locally, cutting latency and data usage. HyperOS 4.0 layers its own AI services on top, exposing shortcuts for:
- Voice assistants that understand context better
- Adaptive battery predictions tailored to your usage patterns
- UI tweaks that react to ambient conditions
These tools let you build AI‑first apps without bundling heavyweight models, speeding up development cycles.
What This Means for You
When the OTA arrives, you’ll get a cleaner UI, longer unplugged time, and a more responsive gaming experience—all at no extra charge. Xiaomi’s track record of supporting three Android generations suggests that even older eligible phones will receive the update, extending their useful life.
