Xiaomi releases Android 17 Developer Preview for the Xiaomi 17 series and 15T Pro
The Android Developer Program provides early access to upcoming OS versions, giving developers a chance to test their apps in a new software environment. This release also hints at a change in Xiaomi’s naming approach for its HyperOS overlay.
The initial Android 17 + HyperOS Developer Preview offers a glimpse of a redesigned HyperOS, though a clearer picture will likely emerge in future updates.
Rather than moving to HyperOS 4, Xiaomi appears to be aligning HyperOS 3.3 with Android 17, skipping version 3.2 for reasons that remain unclear.
