Xiaomi has slowly started to release Android 13-based MIUI 14 updates to its eligible smartphones. The brand will initially update the newly launched flagship phones and then shift its focus to the aging ones. But if you can’t wait to try your hands on the latest version of Android, the team over at Paranoid Android has some good news for you. You can now install the Android 13-based stable Topaz build of the ROM on a handful of Redmi and Poco Smartphones.
For the unaware, Paranoid Android belongs to the dying breed of AOSP-based custom ROMs that are based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The software was recently made available for a bunch of OnePlus and Pixel smartphones. And now the following Redmi and Poco phones have joined the roster:
- Redmi Note 9S
- Redmi Note 9 Pro (India)
- Redmi Note 10 Lite
- Redmi Note 9 Pro (Global)
- Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (India)
- Poco M2 Pro
- Poco F2 Pro
- Redmi K30 Pro / K30 Pro Zoom Edition
The above smartphones are at least 2 years old now and it’s not even certain if Xiaomi will release an Android 13-based MIUI 14 update for them. So, installing Paranoid Android Topaz might just be the best way for you to the latest Android 13. What’s interesting is that you’d get a clean and bloatware-free experience without MIUI customizations. In other words, you will be able to experience Android as Google intended you to.
However, it is important that you know how to install a custom ROM otherwise you’ll end up bricking your device. The download link for the ROM compatible with your Redmi or Poco device is available on Paranoid Android’s website.
