Xiaomi Announces MIUI 14 India Version with Host of Enhancements

February 27, 2023

Xiaomi India today announced the rollout of the MIUI 14 OS on Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones. The MIUI 14 comes with new design and includes new features like RAM and internal storage utilization, reimagined home screen, visually appealing widgets, creative wallpapers, and a host of tricks to improve the overall smartphone experience. Xiaomi 13 Pro will be the first smartphone to come with MIUI 14 based on Android 13 out of the box.

MIUI 14 puts a spotlight on the way MIUI utilizes the RAM and internal storage. MIUI 14 reinforces Xiaomi’s promise of smooth performance with Smart ROM Optimization. This new system-level feature can drastically reduce the cached storage used by analyzing infrequently used apps and reduce the storage used by as much as3GB over a period of three months. To further improve the user experience, the system space taken by MIUI has also been reduced. For phones with 128GB of storage, this can mean as much as 4GB of extra storage giving users the flexibility to install more apps.

MIUI 14 also includes improved RAM Optimization. MIUI 14 uses 214MB(1) less boot-up memory, enabling one of the quickest boot-up speeds ever seen on a Xiaomi device. In addition, MIUI 14 has reduced the RAM occupied by the 19 most-used system apps by 11%, including camera, clock, messages, and more, while also reducing the memory usage of apps running in the background by 6% compared to MIUI13.

Customization lies at the core of the MIUI experience, and MIUI 14 elevates it with a set of 6 new wallpapers adding up to a total of 39 visually stunning designs. MIUI 14’s new card-style widgets that add distinctive design elements are further enhanced by fluid animations offering a unique visual experience.

MIUI 14 also introduces three new clock widgets, four additional weather widgets, a photo gallery as well as redesigned options for battery, step counter and more. This rollout also reduces friction while accessing daily used apps by introducing a new enlarged folder. The visually aesthetic feature lets you launch an app inside a folder without entering it first.

In addition to MIUI’s classic features like a sidebar, sky filter, and dual apps, the latest OS brings cool new designs to elevate your experience. With MIUI 14, users can also enhance the overall aesthetics through a redesigned settings page. By reducing the number of redundant entries, narrower line spacing and more recognisable icons, MIUI 14 makes it easier than ever to get to the settings you want.

MIUI 14 embraces the creativity of users by giving them more tools for a better experience. New additions like the ability to copy text from a photo in the gallery, remove objects from an image, a voice-based shutter that lets you say cheese and automatically capture favorite moments, are designed to balance the needs of enthusiasts with easier access. MIUI 14 also builds on top of the much-loved sky replacement feature with the all-new background replacement feature that lets users express their creativity in new ways.

The following models will be rolled out with MIUI 14 in the first phase, with the release schedule for other devices to be gradually published:
