Updated November 11, 2026. A week after Xiaomi started the global HyperOS 4 rollout, only two phones outside China have a public stable build: the POCO F8 Pro (Global) and the POCO F8 Ultra (Europe). Everything else in the “early November” wave, including the Xiaomi 17, 17 Ultra, 17T series and Redmi Note 15 series, is still on HyperOS 3 or limited to small Pilot groups. Xiaomi has also published two different versions of its schedule, and most tech sites copied the one that doesn’t match what’s actually happening. Here is where things really stand, checked against Xiaomi’s update servers.
HyperOS 4 builds released outside China so far
| Phone | Region | Build | Status | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| POCO F8 Pro | Global | OS4.0.2.0.XPKMIXM | Stable (OTA from Nov 3, ROM from Nov 9) | 8.4 GB |
| POCO F8 Ultra | EEA (Europe) | OS4.0.1.0.XPMEUXM | Stable, staged (Nov 7) | 8.3–8.9 GB |
| Xiaomi 17 | Global / EEA | OS4.0.1.0.XPCMIXM / XPCEUXM | Pilot (limited group) | 7.9 / 8.0 GB |
The POCO F8 Ultra’s Global version is still on HyperOS 3 (OS3.0.303.0.WPMMIXM), and so is the F8 Pro in Europe. For the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi’s servers hold HyperOS 4 Pilot packages for Global and EEA, but phones on the normal update channel don’t get them yet. The HyperOS 4 tracker shows every device and region and updates several times a day.
Still waiting: the rest of the early-November wave
As of November 11, these phones from Xiaomi’s first wave have no public global HyperOS 4 build:
- Xiaomi: 17 Ultra, 17T Pro, 17T, Leica Leitzphone (Xiaomi 17 only as a Pilot, see above)
- Redmi: Note 15 Pro+ 5G, Note 15 Pro 5G, Note 15 Pro, Note 15 5G, Note 15, Redmi 17 5G, Redmi 17, Redmi 17C 5G, Redmi 15C 5G, Redmi 15C
- POCO: X8 Pro Max, X8 Pro, X8 Pro Iron Man Edition, M8 Pro, M8, C95 Pro, C85
- Tablets: Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro, Pad 8
Release-candidate builds (version numbers like OS4.0.3.0) for the Xiaomi 17T, Redmi Note 15 Pro, POCO X8 Pro and Xiaomi 15 have shown up in Xiaomi’s internal test channels since November 5, according to XiaomiTime’s firmware feed. That usually means a public release is a few days to two weeks away, but it is an educated guess, not a date from Xiaomi.
Owners are getting impatient. “It’s 11th of November now. Where’s the update?” is a typical post on the Xiaomi 17 subreddit. Xiaomi’s own fine print explains the gap: the dates are when the rollout starts, and the schedule “is estimated and subject to change based on region, carrier, model, and R&D progress.”
Two official schedules: which one is right?
On November 3–4 Xiaomi published the global schedule twice: as an image on its HyperOS account on X, and on the HyperOS 4 page on mi.com. Both list the same 82 devices, but seven phones sit in different waves:
| Phone | X post | mi.com |
|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 | Early November | Mid-November |
| Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G, Note 17 Pro 5G, Note 17 5G, Note 17 | Early November | Mid-November |
| POCO X8 | Early November | Mid-November |
The X post counts 33 devices for early November and 16 for mid-November; mi.com has 26 and 23. December is the same in both (33). Everything we can check supports the mi.com version: none of the seven has a public HyperOS 4 build yet, the Xiaomi 15 is still on HyperOS 3 even in China, and Xiaomi’s China plan only promises the Redmi Note 17 series by the end of November. Xiaomi hasn’t corrected either version.
Most English-language coverage, including Android Authority, GSMArena, Notebookcheck, 9to5Google, Gizmochina and Beebom, repeated the X post split. Beebom even names mi.com as its source while listing the X post waves. A few other slips are going around too: the “Redmi 14S” in several lists is the Redmi Note 14S (December wave); the Redmi 15 and Redmi 15 5G are December, not early November (only the Redmi 15C models are early); and the first wave has 26 or 33 devices depending on the version, not 31. Our full HyperOS 4 schedule follows mi.com and marks the seven disputed models.
China is well ahead
The China rollout started on October 15 and is already on its fourth to sixth build for some phones. Stable HyperOS 4 in China right now includes the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 17 Ultra, 17 Max, 17T and 17T Pro, the Redmi K90 series, K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max, Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Max, Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro, Pad 9 Pro and Redmi K Pad 2. The Xiaomi 18 series ships with it.
Next in China, according to Xiaomi’s China plan: the Xiaomi 15 series, MIX Flip 2, Civi 5 Pro and Redmi K80 series by November 15, the Redmi Note 17 and Note 15 series by November 30, and the Xiaomi 14 and 13 series in December. Global builds usually follow the China ones by a few weeks, so the Xiaomi 15’s China release is the one to watch for the mid-November global wave.
India: no schedule yet
The global schedule covers markets outside mainland China, but Xiaomi India hasn’t published its own list or dates, and no Indian (INXM) stable build has appeared. Only internal test builds exist, for example for the Xiaomi 17T and POCO F7. Indian Xiaomi releases usually trail the global ones.
How big is the update?
Plan for about 8–9 GB on current phones: the POCO F8 Pro’s global package is 8.4 GB and the F8 Ultra’s is 8.3–8.9 GB. A major upgrade is essentially a full system package, so it’s only slightly bigger than the last HyperOS 3 full ROM (7.9 GB on the F8 Pro). Big phones need more: the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s China ROM is 10.5 GB. Xiaomi hasn’t published a free-space requirement; keep at least 15 GB free and use Wi-Fi. Full table: HyperOS 4 size and storage.
A footnote most sites missed: widgets later
The mi.com page notes that “some widget styles will be available via a software update by the end of November”, and that lock screen styling, widget stacking and the Soft Light Glass effects depend on the device. Some features shown in Xiaomi’s HyperOS 4 videos may not be on your phone on day one, even after the update. On the POCO F8 Pro, early owners on Reddit were confused that their phone didn’t look like the promo, and the frosted look in some screenshots came from a third-party theme.
What about phones left off the list?
Seven Android 16 phones, including the Redmi Note 13 Pro series and POCO X6 5G, are not on Xiaomi’s global list, and XiaomiTime reported that their HyperOS 4 update was cancelled. Some posts point to new HyperOS 4 test builds as a sign of a reversal for the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G and POCO M6 Pro. Those builds carry the code FO, which belongs to the Redmi Note 14S. The Note 14S uses the same platform but is a separate device (NF is the Note 13 Pro 4G), and it is on the December list. There’s no sign of a change for the Note 13 Pro 4G itself. Details: which phones won’t get HyperOS 4.
What you can do now
- Check your phone’s status in the HyperOS 4 tracker or on your phone’s firmware page (search it in the firmware hub), in the “HyperOS 4” section.
- If a build exists for your region but your phone doesn’t offer it, you can install the Recovery ROM yourself without unlocking: how to install HyperOS 4 manually.
- Don’t flash another region’s ROM to get HyperOS 4 earlier. It needs an unlocked bootloader, wipes the phone and can brick it if done wrong.
- Get notified: our Telegram bot @XiaomiFirmwareUpdatesBot sends a message when a HyperOS 4 build appears for your model.
FAQ
Why haven’t I got HyperOS 4 if my phone is in the early-November wave?
Because only two phones have a public global build so far. The wave date is when Xiaomi starts, not when every phone gets it. Each region follows on its own, and inside a region the update reaches a small group first.
Is the Xiaomi 15 getting HyperOS 4 in early or mid-November?
Mid-November, according to mi.com, and that matches the firmware: the Xiaomi 15 doesn’t even have a stable build in China yet (due by November 15 there). The early-November date comes from Xiaomi’s X post.
Which phones already have global HyperOS 4?
POCO F8 Pro (Global, OS4.0.2.0.XPKMIXM) and POCO F8 Ultra (Europe, OS4.0.1.0.XPMEUXM). The Xiaomi 17 has Global and EEA Pilot builds for a limited group.
Is there a HyperOS 4 schedule for India?
Not yet. Xiaomi India hasn’t published dates, and no Indian stable build has appeared.
