Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 rollout is not complete yet, with many users eagerly waiting to get an Android 13 update. This is certainly disappointing as we are almost nearing the Android 14 release. But on the plus side, it seems Xiaomi started the MIUI 15 development months ago as the alpha builds of the software have now been spotted on the company’s servers. The newest version of MIUI should bring improved animations along with several other upgrades.
MIUI 15 could be based on both Android 13 and 14
The folks at Xiaomiui have discovered MIUI 15 alpha builds on the Xiaomi server. The test server reveals versions 23.5.22 and 23.7.2, indicating that development likely began in May, with the former being available for testing on the 22nd of that month. This also suggests that MIUI 15 will be based on both Android 13 and Android 14, similar to MIUI 14, which had versions for both Android 12 and Android 13.
Currently, we are unaware of the new improvements and features that MIUI 15 will introduce. However, the outlet highlights improved animations and various other innovations, though no specifics are mentioned. MIUI 14 was launched in December of last year, so you should expect a similar timeline for the new version. It is likely that the software will start rolling out to eligible Xiaomi phones in Q1 of 2024.
Xiaomi has been spotted testing alpha builds of MIUI 15 on a device codenamed “garnet,” which is rumored to be part of the upcoming Redmi Note 13 lineup. Since Xiaomi typically launches the Redmi Note series in China towards the end of the year, it’s likely that the Redmi Note 13 will be the first device to receive the MIUI 15 update. Xiaomiui reports the upcoming series will be available in China, India, and other global markets.
