## Key points

- Xiaomi has not set a global release date.

## Summary

Xiaomi has begun rolling out HyperOS 4 in China, bringing a translucent “Soft Light Glass” design to newer devices, but some older phones will not receive it. The Xiaomi 12T and Redmi Note 12 are among those being left out as they reach the end of software support, meaning they will no longer get operating-system upgrades or security patches.

Xiaomi’s rollout schedule covers 57 phones and 15 tablets, with updates planned in waves through the end of 2026; January 2027 is reserved for TVs and wearables. Xiaomi has not announced a date for the global release, and it has not confirmed whether several models with no HyperOS 4 test builds will be excluded. Nineteen devices are due to lose support during 2026, while Xiaomi’s newer update commitments remain shorter than Google’s and Samsung’s seven years for flagship phones.
