Xiaomi has released the second build of its customized HyperOS Android 15 Beta 1 update for several of its latest smartphone and tablet models. These two new builds can be downloaded as both Recovery and Fastboot ROMs; so they can be flashed with the update or via a full system flash.
The following devices will receive the “second build” of Android 15 Beta 1

There are a number of new features and improvements in the Android 15 Beta 1 update, although the full changelog has not been released by Xiaomi. In addition, expect changes with UI improvements, performance optimizations, and core Android system component updates.
However, since this is a beta software, Xiaomi warns that you should back up your data before installing it. Also, to flash Fastboot ROM images, the user needs to unlock the device's bootloader. Users should be cautious about the risks associated with installing pre-release software.
The first Android 15 Beta 1 builds for these devices have been rolling out since the beginning of the month. The second release similarly brings bug fixes and general stability improvements based on feedback from the first beta release.
Xiaomi has been keeping the launch of the final stable version of Android 15 a closely guarded secret, but it will likely continue beta releases in the coming months before it is released publicly. Users interested in trying out the new software can download the ROMs and find flashing instructions on the company's website and other online forums.
