After several months of waiting we can announce that Xiaomi has decided to launch Android 13 Global for your devices outside of China. The software is now available in one of their smartphones, which opens the season for the following. The company has been one of the slowest to update its devices in the West. From today the good news arrives for all users of a relatively new Xiaomi. Android 13 is much closer!
And yes, along with Android 13 it arrives MIUI 14the new customization layer that Xiaomi announced a few weeks ago in China. MIUI 14 will extend much more than Android 13 by the Xiaomi catalog, as devices with an earlier version of Android will be able to install it.
Android 13 has arrived on global Xiaomi smartphones
Android 13 y MIUI 14 They have been available in China for a while, but not in the West. The rest of the world is one step behind, as the company’s customization layer changes when smartphones leave China. There are two different updates: Chinese and Western.
Xiaomi has started to roll out Android 13 on the Xiaomi 12 Global, one of the star devices of 2022. This device can already install the global version of the operating system, although not in a common way. You need to download the file to your device and update using the app that Xiaomi allocates to these purposes.
In addition, it is completely necessary to have signed up for the beta phase with the device, so if you have not done so, you will not be able to enjoy Android 13 on the Xiaomi 12 for now. The good news is that Android 13 Global is now official for Xiaomi and that the massive update will start soon.
Which Xiaomi phones are going to update to Android 13?
It is the most repeated question by all users who have a Xiaomi device and worry regarding updates. The answer is still not clear, because there is no official list of western devices. We already anticipate that the deployment will not be as massive as with MIUI 14, a layer that might reach a large part of the company’s catalog.
Android 13 will only land in the most important Xiaomi smartphones and current. If your device was launched with Android 12 it is very likely that at some point in 2023 you will see Android 13 available.
Depending on the weight of that device in the catalog you will see the update sooner or later. That is, a Xiaomi 12 will update before a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, for example. If your mobile was launched with Android 11, and has updated to Android 12, you will have to check in the Xiaomi lists if it is within the update.
The important terminals see 2 or 3 future Android versions, but the mid-range and low-end ones usually update only once. Our recommendation is that you wait for Xiaomi to reveal the official list of updates for Android 13something that should arrive soon since the operating system is already ready.
