Xiaomi 14: The update is also available for download in Europey.
While Samsung smartphones will not receive the update to Android 15 and thus One UI 7 until 2025, the two Chinese manufacturers Xiaomi and Vivo are providing the first smartphones with Android 15.
How GMSarena reported, there is no concrete evidence that the entire series will receive the major update. However, it is very likely that it will also be distributed for the Xiaomi 14 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in the short term.
