Xiaomi was supposed to unveil MIUI 14 alongside the Xiaomi 13 series last week. The launch conference still remains postponed with no new date.
However, details about these unreleased products continue to emerge on the internet. A few days back, one of the company executives confirmed MIUI 14 support for certain old smartphones.
Zhang Guoquan is the director of Xiaomi‘s System Software Department. On November 28, while replying to a Weibo comment, the exec confirmed the availability of the MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 series.
Unfortunately, he did not clarify the exact models. But did mention that the update will arrive later.
For the unaware, the Mi 10 series originally includes five phones, namely Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10 Lite, Mi 10 Lite Zoom, and Mi 10 Ultra. Going by the subsequent comments, the exec is most likely talking about the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro but the others might also receive the update.
All of these handsets were released in 2020 with Android 10 onboard. The Mi 10 Ultra debuted with MIUI 12, while the remaining models shipped with MIUI 11.
Over the last two years, these devices were updated to Android 11 and Android 12. They also received multiple MIUI updates, such as MIUI 12.5, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, and MIUI 13.
Therefore, MIUI 14 will be the third major software update for these smartphones, except for Mi 10 Ultra. Unfortunately, we don’t think they will get an upgrade to Android 13 as they don’t fall under the latest update policy introduced for the newer models.
