During Google’s I/O event in May, the American company will unveil all the details of the next version of the Android OS. In the meantime, several beta versions have been released, allowing you to preview the software’s new features. Now some smartphones Xiaomi can also install Android 17: the first beta has been published by the Chinese company for 4 devices, although for the moment it is intended for a particularly expert audience (since we are talking about Global releases).
At the moment, Lei Jun’s company has announced the opening of the Developer Preview Program only for the latest flagship smartphones in the Xiaomi 17 series. The sole exception is Xiaomi 15T Pro, the mid-range flagship of the previous generation.
