The company has divided the test programme into three waves, with the first due to begin on 14 August.

The first wave includes the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition, Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17, along with the Redmi K90 Pro Max, Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition and Redmi K90. Tablets in the same group are the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 8. Xiaomi said the schedule currently applies only to users in China, with global availability to be announced separately.

A second batch is due on 27 August and includes the Xiaomi 17 Max, Xiaomi 17T Pro, Xiaomi 17T, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 Ultra Dual Satellite Edition, Xiaomi 15S Pro, Xiaomi 15 Pro and Xiaomi 15.

Users with eligible devices can apply through the beta testing centre inside the Xiaomi Community app. HyperOS is Xiaomi’s custom operating system, and the company’s official materials describe features such as multitasking tools, workstation-style functions and other model-specific capabilities that vary by region and handset. Earlier reporting from Gizmochina also noted that Xiaomi has been testing HyperOS updates in China and abroad, with a pattern of phased roll-outs that can differ from market to market.
