Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 13 in late December 2021. It was announced at the Xiaomi 12 series event. Therefore, MIUI 14 is also rumored to debut alongside the Xiaomi 13 series in the coming weeks.

Earlier today, the head of MIUI officially teased the arrival of MIUI 14. He said a few things about Xiaomi’s upcoming software, which we find to be interesting. Let’s go through his statement.

MIUI 14 Teaser

Jin Fan is a Product Director at Xiaomi. He is also the Head of MIUI Experience. He is not known for posting regularly on Weibo.

But a few hours back, he surprised his followers with an interesting post. In this latest post on Weibo, he writes that his team has worked hard over the past year on developing MIUI 14.

He goes on that the next generation of Xioami’s mobile software will be unveiled soon. But unfortunately, he doesn’t say when.

Talking about the interesting bit, Jin Fan says that one of the goals of his team is to make MIUI 14 the most streamlined and lightweight flagship mobile phone system. This suggests that MIUI will be getting a design overhaul with the forthcoming release.

We already reported in late July that MIUI 14 will bring a new design language. But it’s good to hear directly from the company.

Anyway, we are not sure how lightweight the software will be. MIUI is notorious for being resource hungry on budget smartphones. Hopefully, Xiaomi addresses this with the next release.

Also, most importantly, Xiaomi is the only major Chinese smartphone brand lacking in software updates. While Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, and Realme have delivered Android 13 update to multiple devices, Xiaomi has managed to do the same for only Xiaomi 12 Pro as of writing this article.

We have been hoping Xiaomi to fix these issues for the last two years. But sadly, it is yet to happen. Perhaps, MIUI 14 could be a game-changer.
