Ahead of the release of a major Xiaomi update, a handy utility has appeared for those who want to know in advance who will get HyperOS 4. The MemeOS Enhancer app has added a HyperOS 4 compatibility check — it automatically detects the smartphone or tablet model and shows what you can expect. According to rumors, HyperOS 4 may debut not on the Xiaomi 18 but on a foldable smartphone, so the intrigue about the first device remains. But keep in mind: this is a third-party tool, not an official Xiaomi service.

Here’s how to check your smartphone’s compatibility with HyperOS 4

How to Check Your Smartphone’s Compatibility with HyperOS 4

The main new feature of MemeOS Enhancer is the built-in checker. After launching, the app automatically detects your model and shows whether your smartphone will get HyperOS 4. No manual settings needed: just open it and see the result.

The utility is unofficial, so discrepancies are possible

A useful aspect is that the utility separates the HyperOS version from the Android version. These are two different things that users often confuse. The app shows both HyperOS 4 compatibility and Android 17 support on Xiaomi as separate statuses.

How HyperOS 4 Differs from Android 17

HyperOS 4, according to leaks and the current development direction, will be built primarily on the Android 17 base. Which specific Android 17 features will appear in HyperOS 4 is already partially known from leaks. But not every compatible device will necessarily get Android 17 specifically — Xiaomi has repeatedly released major HyperOS versions on different Android versions depending on the model.

Not all users understand the differences between HyperOS 4 and Android 17

The same phone can receive a new interface on an older Android base — and this is a normal situation for Xiaomi. If having the latest OS version matters to you for new system features, you should check in advance which Xiaomi devices will get Android 17, rather than just being excited about a shell update.

Which Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO Devices Will Get Android 17

The compatibility database already contains quite a few models in different categories — from flagships to budget devices, including tablets and foldable devices. Essentially, it’s a list of Android 17-compatible smartphones in one place. According to the app, the list includes:

The app can be installed on almost any Xiaomi device

  • Xiaomi flagship and premium models.
  • Foldable smartphones and special Xiaomi models.
  • Xiaomi Pad tablets.
  • Redmi K and Turbo series.
  • Redmi Note lineups and numbered models.
  • Redmi Pad tablets.
  • POCO devices.

The source doesn’t provide a specific list of models for each category, so the exact verdict for your device is best viewed directly in the app.

New HyperOS 4 Launcher — What’s Changed

In addition to the checker, the HyperOS 4 launcher has leaked online — this is the part of the system responsible for the home screen: animations, app opening, transitions to the recent apps menu, widgets, and overall interface smoothness. Competitors are also actively rolling out updates — for example, Samsung just released a major June update, but that’s an official release, while this is an early leak.

The new HyperOS 4 launcher has leaked online, but there’s no need to rush to install it

If you want to try the new Xiaomi interface before everyone else — do so consciously and understanding the risks. The advantage of the app is that it provides a more organized source instead of manually searching for APK files on questionable websites. It’s safer, but still doesn’t eliminate the risks of early builds.

What’s New in HyperOS 4

According to early leaks, HyperOS 4 will become Xiaomi’s biggest update in recent years — with deeper visual and technical rewriting, not just cosmetic changes. Some even believe that this update will change Xiaomi smartphones forever.

The update will be impressive, but the release is still a ways off

In simple terms: some system apps will become faster, with fewer crashes and more predictable memory management. Xiaomi has already started moving some components in this direction, and in HyperOS 4 the process may affect more built-in apps. But for now, these are development directions and leaks, not final promises.

If you have a Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO and simply want to know whether to expect an update, the compatibility checker will answer your question without guessing on forums. It’s free and doesn’t require any system modifications. As for the leaked launcher, there’s no rush, especially if you only have one phone and it’s your daily driver. Wait for the official HyperOS 4 release — that way you’ll get a stable version without risking damage to your device.
