MIUI13 has been launched, the Xiaomi 12 series phones have this version out of the box which has been launched in China. We are going to talk about the changes in MIUI13 when you compare it with MIUI12 & 12.5.
The updates in the MIUI13 are minor, not many major changes are noticed, but in some regions, you notice Something new. There were a lot of bugs in the MIUI12 & 12.5 updates.
Let's see if MIUI13 has them, now let's talk about the design first Xiaomi has launched its independent font named MiSans, & I liked it, it is available in English and Chinese as well.

You'll like the way it looks New dynamic widgets have been added too, they were there earlier too but now they're dynamic. If it is raining then the widget will show it raining Reminder widgets are a new addition that can remind you to drink water etc. 50 new wallpapers have been added, but some wallpapers are impressive.
For eg the blooming wallpaper when you unlock the phone it will show flowers blooming. They've claimed that these wallpapers have been shot in an 8K time-lapse and have been converted into wallpaper. I'm not sure about the privacy feature whether it will launch in India, but the Chinese variants have them Normally in face unlock it only captures your face so if you have a twin they might be able to unlock it too. But in this update, also reads your bodily features above the waist, so the privacy has increased.
I have not tried it but I'm hoping only one twin can unlock the phone. In fraud protection, when you visit a website or download an app that might have malware.
So they have created a special database through which they match the data and are aware of the malware And this feature is inbuilt in MIUI13. I'll be interested to see how they implement this if it comes in India. The private watermark feature might be available in India, in this feature when you send sensitive information Like documents or your ID which it will watermark automatically so that they don't misuse the information. So the receiver will receive the documents with a watermark, I liked this feature.
I am unable to show all this because the variant we have is not stable built, the stable version will have these features. There has been an improvement in the performance. In 3rd party apps, in MIUi13 they have reduced the frame drops by 52%, and 23% in native apps.
For the connected features, there should be the whole ecosystem of Xiaomi like the TV, Mi home, etc. But if you have the whole ecosystem, there's a good feature in which you can watch videos on TV That you watch on your phone, you can drag the icon on TV and it'll pop up on your TV You can also listen to music on Mi home with just a drag.
The feature is called Mi Magic Centre, there's no magic in this smartness for sure. So personally when I compare this with MIUI12 the privacy and performance are brilliant & a lot of bugs Have been worked upon with a performance boost. One thing I noticed in Xiaomi 12 was they do not send ads of the system apps. Already the Xiaomi has a lot of 3rd party apps, so it'll be interesting to watch if the ads reduce at all when it comes to India.
