Older Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO phones won't get the HyperOS 4 update

Xiaomi has started rolling out its new HyperOS 4 update in China, supporting several Xiaomi, POCO, and Redmi devices. However, reports say the big update will leave behind popular older models like the Xiaomi 12 and 12T series. If your phone is getting old, you will miss out on new features and safety fixes.

The rollout starts with new phones like the Xiaomi 17 and Redmi K100 series. More waves will come out through January 2027. Some budget phones like the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G and POCO X6 5G have not even entered testing yet. Xiaomi has a security list that shows nineteen devices dropping off the software list this year.

HyperOS 4 brings a new Soft Light Glass design with updated visual effects, customizable lock screens, resizable folders, widget stacking, and improved notification layouts. The update also improves app launch speeds, camera responsiveness, and overall system smoothness.

AI is a major part of the release, bringing AI Voice Notes and AI-powered meeting summaries, real-time conversation translation, smarter photo search, and an AI creativity assistant for editing content.
