Xiaomi is finally offering Android 15 to its users with a new update. However, not everyone will be able to take advantage of the latest HyperOS features, at least for now.
The rollout, currently available globally for the Xiaomi 14 series, comes with an older version of the software, HyperOS 1.1, rather than the highly 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 management on the home screen, a smoother Recents menu, and adjustments to the always-on display on the lock screen.
These optimizations are mostly minor, however, 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 in public release, with European users receiving version 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 far short of delivering 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 comes out of China.
