Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12 in late April. It has been over a year, however, the company is yet to announce the next major iteration of its mobile operating system. Instead, the Chinese tech giant has been delivering the MIUI 12.5 incremental update for eligible devices worldwide. But now, it looks like Xiaomi may finally unveil MIUI 13 in the coming days.
On May 26, Xiaomi released a beta version (V21.05.26.beta) of the MIUI Cleaner app (via PiunikaWeb). The changelog for this version of the application is rather strange.
Although the latest version of MIUI is currently MIUI 12.5, the changelog mentions that the company has added support for MIUI 13 floating windows. This clearly suggests that MIUI 13 is indeed in development.
As Xiaomi has now started updating its system apps for MIUI 13 compatibility, there’s a high chance for the next-gen MIUI to go official very soon. A rumor from early May tipped that MIUI 13 could be announced in June. The same report also revealed certain popular older devices which won’t be getting the update.
Even if Xiaomi unveils MIUI 13 by the end of this month, don’t expect your device to be updated right away. As usual, we expect the company to release weekly beta builds, followed by stable builds in China and other regions.
As of now, there’s no information regarding the new features in MIUI 13. Above all, Xiaomi is yet to officially confirm the release of the next major MIUI release.
