The POCO F4 GT is a flagship smartphone that was made available in April 2022, and it’s now been confirmed to receive its last major software update in the form of the Android 14-based HyperOS 2. As expected, this will begin rolling out by May 2025, hence marking the closure for major software updates for the device in question.
Final Details of Software Update
This will mark the introduction of the newest operating system from Xiaomi, known as HyperOS 2, based on Android 14. This upgrade will definitely bring an improvement in performance, some fresh security features, and a renewed look of the user interface. However, one should note that the POCO F4 GT will not be getting the Android 15 update since it is not included in the list of devices that are scheduled to get this version by Xiaomi.

Device Specifications
The POCO F4 GT is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and is coupled with up to 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage. It boasts a 6.67-inch AMOLED display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate for seamless display performance.

Implications for Users
Well, while the Android 14-based HyperOS 2 update will be the last major software upgrade for users of the POCO F4 GT, the various new improvements and features added in successive releases of Android will never arrive on the device. Security updates may still roll out for a while, but that effectively means that the absence of major OS updates could well end up making it incompatible with various applications and services with the passage of time.
POCO F4 GT has been quite the assertive device in the lists of Xiaomi, actually well-spec’d and being among the high-end releases. On this matter, the HyperOS 2 update shall make this already powerful device receive the newest enhancements available for this series. Still, considering this stops receiving major software support afterward, it might help users factor this in while considering devices for longevity and usability over time.
