MIUI 13 has officially been announced by Xiaomi. The company introduced its latest version of its custom Android skin at an event in China, where it also announced the flagship Xiaomi 12 series. The all-new MIUI 13 packs in a bunch of new features that aim to deliver a better user experience over MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Version. Improved performance, new system font called MiSans, fraud protection, new widgets, and privacy watermark are some of the key features of the MIUI 13. The custom skin will start rolling out to the compatible devices from Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO by the end of January 2022. Here’s a quick look at MIUI 13 update, features, device list, and everything we know so far!
MIUI 13 release date in India
MIUI 13 has been introduced in China so far. There is no word when the custom skin will be introduced in India and other markets. That said, looking at Xiaomi’s past track record, the MIUI 13 update is likely to make its way to India as early as in February.
MIUI 13 update download
As usual, the MIUI 13 update download will be in a phased manner. The brand will roll out the beta version of the update to a handful of users at first, followed by the stable version for all compatible devices. Xiaomi has announced that the MIUI 13 update’s stable version will be available for download to the first batch of devices by the end of January 2022 in China.
MIUI 13 features
The list of MIUI 13 features include
1. Faster performance
The MIUI 13 is said to be significantly faster than the previous-gen MIUI 12.5. There are better app fluency with 15 percent fewer drop frames in third-party apps and 23 percent fewer drop frames in native apps when compared to the previous release. The MIUI 13 has been rated to be the best in Master Lu’s fluency test, beating Android skin from other OEMs. The MIUI 13 also brings improved multitasking capabilities. Xiaomi claims that the Android skin lets you have up to 14 apps open in the background on a flagship device at any given time.
2. Enhanced privacy protection
Xiaomi has added new privacy-focused features, like face verification protection, privacy watermarking, and electronic fraud protection, on MIUI 13 as well. While the details of these features remain vague at the moment, going by their names it looks like the privacy watermarking will let you add a watermark to your images or scanned documents to prevent misuse. The electronic fraud detection, meanwhile, will identify websites and devices that might bring malware. Additionally, the MIUI 13 has a full phonebook of numbers that will be saved as nefarious, and the user of the phone will be informed before he accepts the call.
3. MiSans, new system font
The new system font is another key highlight of Xiaomi’s latest custom skin. The MIUI 13 offers MiSans font that simplifies letters, signs, and numbers, as well as automatically adjusts the height of hyphens to uppercase and lowercase letters, among other things. The font is commercially free to download.
4. New widgets
The all-new MIUI 13 also includes support for widgets such as “Super Countdown Day” and “Water Measuring Cup” that offers an iOS 15-like experience. These widgets can be added to the home screen and customised in different sizes.
5. Support for Mi Pad
Xiaomi has also announced MIUI 13 for its large screen Android devices. Dubbed as MIUI 13 Pad, it comes with some additional features such as app optimisation, a new shortcut to quickly switch between full screen and windowed modes, window scaling, a global taskbar with drag and drops support for multitasking, and more. There are a bunch of keyboard shortcuts to enhance productivity as well.
The MIUI update for Xiaomi smartwatches, smart home devices, and smart TVs have also been introduced. This is said to bring a “seamless and natural flow of content between devices,” the company said.
In addition to this, the all-new MIUI 13 also brings Customizable Xiao AI Virtual Assistant (exclusive to China) and Mi Magic centre. The latter will help users manage their multiple Xiaomi products from a single place.
MIUI 13 wallpaper
MIUI 13 also comes with a 43 static and a bunch of new live wallpapers as well. The live ones showcase crystal formation, which Xiaomi claims were captured using a polarisation microscope via 8K time-lapse photography. While these wallpapers come pre-loaded with MIUI 13, you can sideload them (at least the static wallpapers) on your device right now. XDA Developers have extracted MIUI 13 wallpapers from the Android skin firmware, most of which come in at a 2,400×1,230 resolution.
You can head over to the following link to download MIUI 13 wallpapers on your device. The wallpapers are divided into five categories: Molten Glass, Crystallisation, Concerto, Natural Texture, and the Black Gobi, added the XDA’s report.
