Xiaomi is finally bringing Android 15 to its users with a new update. However, not everyone will be able to enjoy the latest HyperOS features, at least for now.
The rollout, which is currently available globally for Xiaomi 14 series, comes with an older software version, HyperOS 1.1, rather than the much-anticipated HyperOS 2.0, which is still exclusive to the Chinese market.
This means that non-Chinese users still have to wait for a full package.

As reported by STechGuide, Xiaomi 14 users outside of China are starting to receive the stable Android 15 update.
It includes a series of fixes and improvements, such as better layout handling on the Home screen, a smoother Recents menu, and adjustments to the Always-on Display on the Lock screen.
However, these optimisations are mostly minor, given that the update is based on HyperOS 1.1, not HyperOS 2.0, which remains in beta for Chinese users on the Xiaomi 14, 14 Pro and 14 Ultra.
The update is now available as a public release, with European users getting build OS1.1.4.0.VNCEUXM and global users receiving OS1.1.3.0.VNCMIXM. Users can wait for the over-the-air update or install it manually.

While this Android 15 update offers Xiaomi 14 users some useful tweaks, it falls short of the richer experience promised by HyperOS 2.0, which is still in testing.
For now, international users will have to wait to see when, or if, this more advanced version will make its way outside of China.
