Xiaomi Android 17 update expected to arrive this May

Google has officially announced the dates for its I/O 2026 event. With this news, the exact day Xiaomi will release the Android 17 update is now clear.

For the last few years, Xiaomi has a habit of giving Android updates to its flagship phones on the same day as the Google I/O event. You might remember that during last year’s I/O, Xiaomi released the Android 16 Beta update for the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 14T Pro. Because these are early updates, they don’t have big technical changes right away. This helps Xiaomi put the updates on its phones easily and quickly.

Google I/O 2026 Dates and the Beta Process

Google scheduled the I/O 2026 event on May 19-20, 2026. Android 17 Beta 1 came out for Pixel devices just last week. According to the Android 17 release plan, stable release will be on May. Right now, there are no big design changes. However, people are very curious about the new features in the next beta versions while they wait for the Xiaomi Android 17 updates.

Before the May event, Google will share two more beta updates. Also, according to the official plan, Google might announce the stable version of Android 17 during the I/O event.

The Day Xiaomi Will Release the Android 17 Update

Looking at this official timeline, we know what Xiaomi will do next. On the day of I/O in May (May 19-20), the company will probably release the Xiaomi Android 17 Beta or Stable update. They will likely give this update to the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17T Pro first according to past years releases.

It’s expect Xiaomi to show the Xiaomi 17 series officially at MWC 2026 on March 3rd. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the company also introduces the Xiaomi 17T series on stage on March 3rd.
