Android 15 has started rolling out to global Xiaomi 14 smartphones. Do note that the rollout has started for the regular Xiaomi 14, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will have to wait its turn. Chances are the rollout will start very soon, though.
The global Xiaomi 14 units have started receiving Android 15
What’s interesting is that this update is based on HyperOS 1.1, not HyperOS 2.0, as was expected. HyperOS 2.0 does come with Android 15 in China, with the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, and it’s also rolling out to the Xiaomi 14 phones. So we expected the same to happen with the global Xiaomi 14, but it seems like that’s planned for the future.
In any case, there are two builds that were spotted. The OS1.1.4.0.VNCEUXM build is for the European phones, while the OS1.1.3.0.VNCMIXM build is for other global markets.
This update is not earth-shattering in terms of changes, well, at least on Xiaomi’s side of things. You’re still getting all the underlaying changes that Google delivered with Android 15, the most important ones.
Here’s the changelog
In regards to HyperOS, however, let’s see what’s new. Xiaomi fixed some issues with the home screen. Some folder icons were not displayed properly, at times, so that should not be the case any longer.
The home screen layout was leaving a lot of space at the top of the screen at times, that should no longer happen either. The home screen also tended to crash under certain scenarios, but Xiaomi fixed that too with this update.
Xiaomi also fixed the lock screen flickering when adjusting always-on display settings. The app card also tended to start shaking when the order of cards was changed, it will not do that anymore.
There was also an issue with screenshots, they tended to come out black for some apps. That’s also something that was fixed with this Android 15-based HyperOS 1.1 update.
Do note that the update is rolling out to the Xiaomi 14, but the rollout is staged. So it may take a while for you to get it.
