Xiaomi recently unveiled the MIUI 12.5 Stable version and the update has not even been pushed to all eligible models. The second round of OTA push is scheduled for June. The company disclosed that the MIUI 12.5 is akin to a major OTA upgrade but Mi fans are already looking forward to MIUI 13. The Chinese tech giant is expected to roll out the MIUI 13 update sometime soon.
The rumor mill is presently buzzing with reports that the next-gen MIUI 13 custom ROM is scheduled for release in the second quarter of this year. A specific release date was even given as Friday, June 25, 2021.
According to MyDrivers, the source also disclosed that Xiaomi won’t be providing MIUI 13 updates for some fairly old models namely the 2019 Mi 9 series, Mi MIX 3, Redmi Note 8 series, and Redmi 8 series. At present, the MIUI 12.5 update has been pushed to the Mi 9 SE (among the first batch of models to get the update). The Mi MIX 2S and Mi 8 series will also be upgraded to MIUI 12.5 in the near future but these models won’t see the official MIUI 13 ROM.
The source didn’t reveal details of the features the MIUI 13 custom ROM will bring to the table but we expect the lock screen, main interface, Negative One-screen, animation effects, fluency, privacy, and security, as well as the battery life will see significant enhancements.
There is no official word yet from Xiaomi about the MIUI 13 release schedule.
