Xiaomi 14 Ultra users within the European Economic Area and India are becoming the first to get a flavor of this global update, marked OS1.0.9.0.UNAEUXM and OS1.0.7.0.UNAINXM respectively, in their regions.

Installation Options

There are two ways of installing the update by users.

1. Auto Update: This is the simplest way, the device can be updated automatically from settings.
2. Manual Installation: Those who want to have more control over the process or wish to update devices en masse, without waiting for the update, may download an update file and install it.
