Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Xiaomi began rolling out HyperOS 4 in China on October 15, 2026, starting with the Xiaomi 17 series, Redmi K100 and K90 series, and Xiaomi Pad 8, with additional models slated to follow in waves through January 2027. The Xiaomi 12T and Redmi Note 12 are excluded from the update, as both have reached or are nearing the end of their software support windows, and the Xiaomi 12 and 12T are absent from the published schedule entirely. The release introduces a translucent interface design that has drawn comparisons to Apple's Liquid Glass. Firmware trackers have also identified several lower-cost models still within their support periods that have not been tested with HyperOS 4, though Xiaomi has not confirmed whether they will be skipped. The rollout remains limited to China for now, and the key question is whether Xiaomi extends the update to those untested budget devices and when the software reaches international markets.
