Xiaomi appears to be preparing for the release of its upcoming MIUI 13 as the current MIUI 12 version, more specifically the MIUI 12.5 has seen a new animation introduction. The launch of the new UI is rumoured to be on December 16 along with the upcoming Xiaomi 12 smartphone but ahead of it, the MIUI 12.5 has undergone another modification, this time to the version’s logo.

The MIUI 12.5 has received a logo change and unlike the earlier logo, the newer logo brings a white paint job with construction lines over it. It hints that the upcoming MIUI version is coming and it may release in the coming weeks. For those who are unaware, the older MIUI 11 had also received such construction lines over the logo seemingly hinting at the newer version’s arrival. Now that we see the same with the current MIUI 12, we can expect the launch to be imminent.

The upcoming MIUI 13 is expected to bring major changes over MIUI 12.5. Primarily, the changes would mostly affect animations, as well as enhancements to local apps such as the files & themes app, and bug fixes. One of the notable features expected is the Memory Expansion feature, which will allow a device to use additional storage like RAM. Apart from this, there’s very little to learn about the MIUI 13 as Xiaomi has been rather quiet about.

In terms of its support, the following devices have already received the internal test builds.

  • Xiaomi Mi 11 series
  • Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G
  • Xiaomi Mi 10S
  • Xiaomi Mix 4
  • Redmi K40
  • Redmi K40 Pro and Pro+

While some devices have received the Android 12 based MIUI 13, the rest of the devices are tipped to get Android 11 based MIUI 13 builds. Furthermore, the upcoming Redmi K50 series and Xiaomi 12 series is expected to debut with the MIUI 13.
