Overview
- Xiaomi launched an Android 17 Developer Preview for the Xiaomi 17, 17 Ultra, Leica Leitz Phone, and 15T Pro.
- Installation requires manually flashing a special ROM that erases all data.
- Xiaomi warns against using a primary phone and aims this build at developers and advanced users.
- Each device must first run a specific HyperOS version, and Xiaomi offers rollback ROMs to return to stable software.
- The rollout joins early Android 17 efforts from Motorola, OnePlus, and OPPO, and reporting suggests Xiaomi may add models and a wider beta closer to the official release.
