Xiaomi's HyperOS 4 update excludes older phone models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Xiaomi has begun rolling out its new HyperOS 4 software in China, but older phone models will not receive the update. Devices like the Xiaomi 12T and Redmi Note 12 are being excluded as they are nearing the end of their software support lifecycles. While newer models such as the Xiaomi 17 series and Redmi K100 are included in the initial rollout phases, many older phones will be left on HyperOS 3 or earlier. Xiaomi has committed to longer support for its newer devices, with the Xiaomi 15 series slated for four OS updates and six years of security patches, though this still falls short of competitors like Samsung and Google.
