Xiaomi News This Week (Nov 8–12): Paris Launch Lineup, HyperOS 4 Test Builds, November Patch and Redmi Leaks

Xiaomi news, November 8–12, 2026. The short version: Xiaomi added wearables and new earbuds to its November 17 Paris launch, leaks for the standard Xiaomi 18 and a 10,000 mAh Redmi flagship keep coming, HyperOS 4 test builds have appeared for the mid-November and December waves (but no new global stable build this week), and almost no Xiaomi phone has the November security patch yet. Everything that matters for owners, in one place. Rumors are marked as such.

HyperOS 4: no new global stable build, but test builds for the next waves

No new HyperOS 4 stable build for global, EEA or India phones arrived between November 10 and 12. The only public global builds are still the POCO F8 Pro (Global) and POCO F8 Ultra (Europe); see where the rollout stands.

What did change: on November 12 internal HyperOS 4 test builds showed up on Xiaomi’s servers for many phones of the next two waves, according to XiaomiTime’s firmware feed:

• Mid-November wave: POCO F7 Pro (Indonesia, Russia, Taiwan), Redmi Note 17 5G / POCO M8 Power, Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G (Global); plus the early-wave POCO X8 Pro Max and Redmi Note 15 5G / POCO M8 5G that are still waiting.
• December wave: Xiaomi 14 Ultra (Global), MIX Flip (Global, EEA), Xiaomi 14T Pro (Turkey), Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G, Redmi Note 14 4G, POCO X7 / Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G (EEA) and Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4.

Test builds (version numbers like OS4.0.0.5) can’t be installed by owners; they’re a sign that the schedule is on track. In China, the Xiaomi 15 series still has no stable HyperOS 4 build, although Xiaomi’s China plan promises it by November 15. When it lands, the global mid-November wave usually isn’t far behind. Track every device in our HyperOS 4 tracker, which now picks up new global builds automatically.

China builds got security updates on November 10–11: Xiaomi 18 Pro / Pro Max OS4.0.29.0, Xiaomi 17 Pro / Pro Max OS4.0.6.0, Redmi K100 Pro Max OS4.0.7.0, Redmi K90 Pro Max OS4.0.6.0 and Xiaomi Pad 8 OS4.0.12.0.

November security patch: 1 of 74 Xiaomi phones so far

Google’s November Android bulletin fixes 216 vulnerabilities, 23 of them critical, including a zero-click remote code execution flaw; full protection needs patch level 2026-11-05. On Xiaomi’s side, the first build with the November patch is the Redmi A5 / A7 / POCO C71 EEA build A15.0.19.0.VGWEUXM from November 10. That’s 1 of 74 supported devices in our security patch tracker; 26 are on October and the rest are older. Phones that won’t get HyperOS 4, such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, still receive HyperOS 3 patch updates (EEA OS3.0.304.0.WNOEUXM, October patch).

Tip: even without a new HyperOS build, install the latest Google Play system update (Settings → About phone → Android version). It carries some of the fixes, including for the “SMS of Death” telephony bug disclosed at the end of October.

November 17 in Paris: more than the Xiaomi 18 Pro

Confirmed. Xiaomi’s global launch on November 17 (14:00 CET) will also bring the Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm, the Smart Band 11, the Xiaomi Clip clip-on open-ear earbuds and new Mijia smart home products, alongside the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. No prices yet. The Clip earbuds launched in China in May, so this is their global debut. More on the phones: Xiaomi 18 series codenames and global launch.

Rumor. A tipster says the Xiaomi 18 Pro reaches India in December, while the 18 Pro Max won’t launch there at all. Leaked European prices from October (around €1,449 for the 18 Pro, €1,849 for the Pro Max) are still unconfirmed.

Leaks: Xiaomi 18, Xiaomi 18T and a 10,000 mAh Redmi flagship

• Xiaomi 18 (standard), rumor: retailers in China are taking refundable deposits, and a new leak lists up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage, a 200 MP main camera, 100 W charging and about 200 g. The standard model isn’t part of the Paris event; its China launch is expected in December.
• Xiaomi 18T, rumor: Dimensity 8600, a flat 1.5K OLED at 165 or 185 Hz, IP69, 200 MP main + 50 MP ultrawide + 50 MP periscope, HyperOS 4 out of the box. No date; the 17T launched in May.
• Redmi “K100 Ultra”, rumor: an engineering sample with a 2 nm chip, a battery of about 10,000 mAh, 100 W wired and 50 W wireless charging, bypass charging, a 50 MP 3× periscope and IP68/69. Redmi K Ultra phones usually come to the rest of the world as POCO F Ultra models, usually with a smaller battery.
• Redmi is also said to be testing a 185 Hz refresh rate across the whole interface, not just in games (single source).
• A new Redmi phone for India (model 26119RA82I) passed BIS certification. Its name is unknown; Redmi phones usually launch in India two to six weeks after BIS.
