Xiaomi will start rolling out the stable Android 13-based MIUI 14 update to eligible devices in January. Ahead of it, the brand has started seeding development build of the software to various devices. Recently the Mi 11 and Redmi Note 11T Pro series received the MIUI 14 development version in China and now the Xiaomi Pad 5 and Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 are getting the same treatment.

The update is rolling out on the Xiaomi Pad 5 with firmware version V14.0.22.12.20.DEV and the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 12.4 with V14.0.22.12.21.DEV. The MIUI development version based on Android 13 brings a number of optimizations and improvements. The brand notes that since the underlying architecture of the tablets is quite different from smartphones, they will need to be adapted in order to fully embrace the MIUI 14.

With this pre-release version, users of the above-mentioned devices will be able to test MIUI’s latest version. This update, however, may be laced with various bugs and issues that may disrupt one’s daily usage. Currently, the update is being released in China and only to select enthusiasts who signed up for it.

MIUI 14 is yet to be announced in the global market. Xiaomi hasn’t given any timelines yet but we expect the software to arrive on the international market in early 2023.

To recall, the MIUI 14 features a streamlined design and is touted to be the lightest version of the MIUI to date. It boasts an improved system architecture and photon engine, which is claimed to improve the loading time of third-party apps. The firmware also includes several visual changes as well. For instance, it brings new customizable folders with large icons and new widget options with various shapes and sizes.
