Summary
Xiaomi began recruiting users on July 2 for its first Android 17 beta under HyperOS 3, limiting the China-only test to 1,000 slots each for the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra.
Applications run through July 8 or until filled via Xiaomi Community, and selected users are expected to receive the beta before the end of July if they are on the required firmware versions.
The Early Bird program targets developers and experienced users because the software may contain bugs, cannot be downgraded to Android 16, and does not allow a direct switch to the stable release during testing.
The public recruitment follows months of internal Android 17 testing on the Xiaomi 17 lineup and marks Xiaomi's first external step toward a broader HyperOS 3 rollout.
