Xiaomi has been delivering MIUI 13 update for eligible devices since January. The latest smartphones to receive the fresh version of the company’s mobile software are POCO F3 GT and Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. The former is a gaming handset, while the latter is a lifestyle phone.

The POCO F3 GT and Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G are sold in India as rebranded Redmi K40 Gaming Edition and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. The original versions got access to the MIUI 13 update a while back.

Apart from bringing new MIUI features, the latest system update for smartphones also bumps up the Android version to Android 12. This means they are getting their first major MIUI and Android updates together. Additionally, the fresh software update comes with only February 2022 security patches though it’s already mid-March.

The POCO F3 GT was released in July 2021 with Android 11 and was treated to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced late last year. The gaming phone went unmentioned on Xiaomi’s official MIUI 13 rollout plans for India but has now surprisingly bagged the update, bumping up its Android version for the very first time.

The update carries version V13.0.0.10.SKJINXM and is based on Android 12. Its size stands at 3.2GB and can be installed through recovery. The build awaits a wider rollout since it’s a Mi Pilot release targeted at those that are part of the pilot testing program alone. But if all goes well, it should be making its way to all users in the coming days.

An official changelog is unavailable at the time but yesterday’s MIUI 13 Indian launch event had given us a glimpse into what to expect. There aren’t too many changes over MIUI 12.5 really, although Xiaomi does claim that performance has been boosted significantly, thanks to four new elements aimed at improving user experience and reducing power consumption.

These are Optimized File Storage System, RAM Optimization, Processor Priority Optimization, and Smart Balance, descriptions of which can be found here.

Apart from this, the MIUI 13 update for the POCO F3 GT will be bringing in some new wallpapers, both static and live. Although, live wallpapers aren’t guaranteed to show up since Xiaomi says that they’re limited to select devices.

To download the V13.0.0.10.SKJINXM build for POCO F3 GT, head over to this official link (via Xiaomiui). Keep in mind that it may fail to install since it’s targeted at pilot testers.
