That\u2019s because other Android manufacturers are either still running limited public betas, as with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-one-ui-9-beta-4-3687144\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung\u2019s One UI 9 beta, which is only for the Galaxy S26<\/a>, or haven\u2019t announced plans to ship newer versions of their skins based on Android 17. Amidst this, a major Android phone brand is surprising users by sending out stable updates based on Android 17.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi has reportedly begun rolling out new HyperOS 3 updates, based on stable Android 17, to its devices. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/ximitime.com\/xiaomi-starts-hyperos-3-3-android-17-public-rollout-for-xiaomi-17-series-98749\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">XimiTimes<\/a>, the update currently applies to the latest flagship Xiaomi 17 series. Among the Xiaomi 17 variants, only the vanilla Xiaomi 17 and the camera beast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/xiaomi-17-ultra-photography-kit-better-than-google-samsung-3649349\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Xiaomi 17 Ultra<\/a> appear to have received the update, but the Pro and Pro Max variants are seemingly excluded from the rollout.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_3g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra Android 17 update 2\"  alt=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra Android 17 update 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Xiaomi-17-Ultra-Android-17-update-2-scaled.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_3g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra Android 17 update\"  alt=\"Xiaomi 17 Ultra Android 17 update\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Xiaomi-17-Ultra-Android-17-update-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Android 17-based update, with HyperOS build numbers starting with \u201c3.0.332,\u201d weighs in at around 10GB for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and 8GB for the vanilla 17. Interestingly, the changelog emphasizes the June 2026 security patch but doesn\u2019t mention Android 17 or elaborate on any improvements beyond user stability enhancements and bug fixes. It\u2019s only after updating that the About Phone page starts to show Android 17 as the Android version.<\/p>\n<p>These updates are rolling out for Europe-specific and global models of the Xiaomi 17 series. Along with the flagships, Xiaomi\u2019s last-gen flagship killer, the Xiaomi 15T Pro, is also receiving the Android 17-based update through Mi pilot release channels, with a limited number of slots for testers.<\/p>\n<p>Since Xiaomi\u2019s HyperOS gets new features and updates independent of Android updates, we don\u2019t actually see any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-17-stable-rollout-features-3675016\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">key Android 17 features<\/a>, such as app bubbles, screen recording reactions, or even separate volume controls for Gemini. What we do notice are slightly tweaked icons for system apps. So, in essence, this update feels like a security patch, which does give Xiaomi bragging rights as the first to roll out stable Android 17 to its devices but doesn\u2019t bring any material improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
