TL;DR
- Xiaomi has announced its global MIUI 13 rollout plans.
- The initial phase will commence in Q1 2022.
- A list of 18 devices will see updates in the first phase.
In November, Xiaomi hinted that MIUI 13 would hit Chinese devices soon, but there was still uncertainty regarding the skin’s international rollout. Now, the company has confirmed its plans.
At an event that also welcomed the international Redmi Note 11 series, the company unveiled a list of 18 devices that will receive MIUI 13 in the initial global rollout. These devices include the Mi 11 series, the 11T line, and Xiaomi’s Pad 5 tablet.
MIUI 13 is set to bring several new smarts to Xiaomi phones. These features include Liquid Storage for more effective file storage management, Atomized Memory for better RAM management, and Focused Algorithms, which “dynamically allocates system resources based on usage scenarios.”
Xiaomi also outlined other additional features, like new widgets and accompanying customization options and a Sidebar, allowing users to access apps and tasks with a swipe.
