While introducing its new software, Xiaomi has prefaced the launch for its latest 13 series of flagship smartphones which is already claimed to run out of the box.
Bringing Improvements
As we know that MIUI 14 is based on Android 13 and it is likely to bring improvements in terms of user privacy, UI layout and system resource usage.
Besides this, this new OS is also backed to improve control over connected devices throughout the home and the user’s life.
In its 13 & MIUI 14 event on December 11, 2022, Xiaomi has commenced while diving right into the latter part of that title.
Not only this software launch marks the 12th year of its existence, it also asserts that it is the best and most engaging major upgrade yet.
Changes In UI Parts
During the launch, the phonemaker has overhauled the UI part of this Android 13-based skin with a layout based on a set of shapes including squircles, circles, and long pills.
Further, the homescreen’s contents can be sorted into any number of them mainly based on best fit.
They will share the real estate with new animated stickers that may or may not relate to system, app or temporal changes, notably.
From users point of view, this all may sound like a lot for 1 device’s system to take.
But, according to Xiaomi, it claims to have addressed this potential issue through MIUI 14’s “Project Razor” initiative.
OS As Light As Possible
Through the measures such as extreme firmware and system requirement refinements; a reduced tolerance for uninstallable app counts; compressing “low-frequency” apps as much as possible and other memory savers such as, for example, saving only 1 copy of a duplicate file (all the while strongly implying that other OEMs do not go quite as far when developing their own takes on Android 13), It claims to keep the OS as light as possible.
The other update includes the part of Xiaomi’s new privacy- and security-related upgrades to MIUI 14 which revolve around keeping things on-device rather than on the cloud for about 30 “system scenarios”, apparently iOS-rivaling OCR functions included.
For data integrity, the OEM claims to have attained multiple relevant certifications in the process.
Here one this is sure that a user will clearly have no fear of losing connection with their accessories, smart home and home IoT devices on MIUI 14.
On top of that, the software is rated for an enhanced paired-device interface in which each one can occupy its own ‘bubble’ on-screen, some of which (such as those for TWS earbuds) can be ‘dragged’ from one to another to switch their input.
