Google is on course to release stable Android 15 to eligible Pixel phones and AOSP in October. The tech company achieved platform stability for the upcoming OS with Android beta 3. Developers are now testing their apps to avoid compatibility issues with Android 15. OEMs are previewing the build with their Android skin, and Xiaomi is no exception.

The Chinese tech company already released the Android 15-based HyperOS update in China for a few phones. As expected, the global Xiaomi Android 15 phones are now available, and it’s not surprising that only three units are testing the upcoming OS upgrade. 

Xiaomi has limited the Global Android 15 phones to 3 – Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 13T Pro, and Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4. They will probably open the testing for more phones in the future. Only those using the mentioned units can follow the procedure below and install the Android 15 beta 1 update.
