Yesterday, a popular tipster claimed that MIUI 14 will be the final version of the software. He also added that Xiaomi will be replacing its 13-year-old Android skin with a self-developed MiOS featuring  AOSP (Android Open Source Project) elements.

However, we know that the company has been working on MIUI 15 for months. Also, even if MiOS gets released, it could be exclusive to China.

Amidst this confusion, Xiaomi is rolling out a useful feature for devices running MIUI 14. Let’s go through the details.

Recently, Xiaomi started seeing a new software build for Xiaomi 12S Pro in China. This update bumps up the MIUI version to V14.0.10.0.TLECNXM.

The official changelog only mentions the inclusion of August 2023 security patches. However, the update brings a feature allowing users to force up to a 120Hz refresh rate on all applications.

This new option can be found in the ‘Refresh rate’ settings. It is denoted as ‘Apps using high refresh rate’. 

Tapping on it will open the list of installed applications (including system) on the device. Users can turn on/off high refresh rate for them per-app basis.

Some apps tend to run at regular 60Hz even when the phone’s display is set to a higher refresh rate. Thanks to the addition of this new feature, users can now force those applications to run at a maximum of 120Hz refresh rate.

Thus, users will no longer have to face jitters caused by the switching of refresh rates among applications.

This option should be soon available for other Xiaomi group smartphones. Xiaomiui suggests that it will be also part of MIUI 15.

However, as of now, we don’t know if this feature will be added to all phones and tablets with a high refresh rate display.
