HyperOS 4.0 Update

After rolling out HyperOS 3.1, Xiaomi is working on the HyperOS 4.0 update. It is based on Android 17, and the company is set to release it soon. The company is expected to start beta testing the software soon, and it’s likely to release globally with the Xiaomi 18 series.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that it will have Liquid Glass design, a major upgrade for Xiaomi’s decade old operating system. Since Xiaomi’s skin largerly mirrors Apple’s UI. Xiaomi also plans to replace the underlying framework to eliminate legacy elements from MIUI. It will be replaced by a native in house solution.
