The rumor machine does not rest and today we woke up to a leak that interests a large part of the Android community. From the specialized media Gizmochina they have published the preliminary list of the devices BIT who will be eligible to receive the update to Android 17. As we approach the second half of 2026, anticipation for the next big version of Google's operating system (and the corresponding layer HyperOS) grows, and knowing if our terminal will make the cut is vital to extending its useful life.
The truth is that the update policy of the Xiaomi sub-brand has improved significantly, getting closer to what Samsung or Google offer in their high ranges, but it is still a swampy terrain in the mid-range and entry-level. This list reflects that reality: robust support for flagships and something fairer for cheaper models. Keeping your phone updated is not just a matter of having new icons, but of receiving critical security patches and performance improvements that, in theory, Android 17 promises to optimize to the maximum.
The complete list: Series F, X, M, C and Tablets
Going into the detail that you are all looking for, the leak is exhaustive and covers practically the entire relevant catalog of recent years. If you have one of the following models, you are in luck, as they appear eligible to take the leap:
- F Series (High-end): POCO F8 Ultra and POCO F8 Pro, POCO F7 Pro and LITTLE F7. POCO F6 Pro and POCO F6.
- X Series (Mid-range): POCO X8 Pro 5G, POCO X8 5G, POCO X7 Pro 5G, POCO X7 5G, POCO X6 Pro.
- M Series (Entry/Mid Range): POCO M8 Pro 5G and M8 5G, POCO M7 Pro 5G, POCO M6 Pro 5G.
- C series: Poco C85 4G, Poco C85 5G, Poco C71
- Tablets: Poco Pad M1, Poco Pad X1
However, prudence is our best friend in these cases. Although the source is reliable, we must remember that we will have to wait until the manufacturer gives us official information to consider these data definitive, since the route sheets may change due to last-minute technical problems.
Looking at the complete list, do you think that Xiaomi complies with the support of the old models or are you missing some iconic terminal that should have been included?
