A couple of weeks ago, Xiaomi announced they were recruiting Android 15 beta testers ahead of the public release. The company has concluded the preview, as the update is now available for some users. However, it does not bring the latest Android skin.
The latest Xiaomi Android skin – HyperOS 2.0, is based on Android 15. It is available in China, while global units have to wait a couple of weeks before it becomes available. While still working on the international build, stable Android 15 has been released for the Xiaomi 14 series phones, but it seems only the vanilla version is getting a new OS upgrade.

The update is rolling out for European and Global models with a version number OS1.1.4.0.VNCEUXM and OS1.1.3.0.VNCMIXM, respectively. These build numbers indicate that they are stable beta releases, meaning it will take a few weeks before they become available for more people.
Meanwhile, you can download the Recovery ROM and install it manually, but since it is the first stable beta build, you might want to skip that. If you want to flash the firmware manually, we recommend you backup your data.
