MIUI is one of the most popular custom skins in the world. It offers a plethora of new features and improvements, which goes even further with MIUI 13. Although Xiaomi’s MIUI custom skin was reported to be surrounded by bugs and problems, the latest version is said to bring more stability to the device. Xiaomi announced MIUI 13 in December 2021 in China and even started rolling out beta builds to early adopters from the day it was announced on.
It’s quite easy to assume that MIUI 13 is based on Android 12. But, this is not 100% correct. Xiaomi has even rolled out the MIUI 13 update to many of its devices running on Android 11, and many Android 12 devices have also received the same version of MIUI skin. The MIUI 12 added an iOS-inspired Control Center and a countless number of improvements. It goes even further with MIUI 13. It brings new widgets, a new font, Document Watermarking, Optimized Charging, Secure mode, Family Guard, and the list goes on. More on this in the next section.
What’s on Android 12 and Their Features?
Similar to every new Android release, Xiaomi was also one of the very few smartphone companies to take part in the Android 12 Developer Preview program. Through this program, some Xiaomi phones were able to get a very early taste of Android 12. It includes Mi 11, Mi 11 ULTRA, Mi 11i, and Mi 11X Pro. It was October when Google officially released the Android 12. Let’s see what the latest version of Android has to offer.
Material You
Android 12 is exciting for many people simply because of one feature – Material You. What it does is, it extracts colors from your wallpaper and applies them across the elements, thus giving a new look every time you change the wallpaper. This is super cool. The color changes are applied to almost every element on the phone. It even works with widgets and any app with support for Material You.
