As always, it is recommended to back up the data before installing the Android 13 beta on Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro. The MIUI 13.0.4.0 TLCMIXM version is being made available for Xiaomi 12 users, whereas the MIUI 13.0.4.0 TLBMIXM is being rolled out for users of the Pro model. The size of the update is 4.23 GB, which also includes the August security update.
People who wish to try the Android 13 beta on their Xiaomi 12 / 12 Pro units should note that they are likely to encounter bugs since it is not a stable release. Users are advised to visit an authorized Xiaomi service centre if the device does not start after installing the update. Once the company irons out all the issues from the beta version, it will roll out the stable. But the company hasn’t confirmed a specific timeframe for it.
