New Features and Performance Enhancements in MIUI 13

MIUI 13 expands on MIUI 12.5, bringing a number of performance enhancements.

Xiaomi’s MIUI 13 software has also boosted multitasking capabilities, allowing users to have up to 14 apps active in the background on a flagship smartphone at any given moment.

With new features like face verification protection, privacy watermarking, and fraud protection, Xiaomi has endeavored to make MIUI 13 more secure for end-users. We don’t have all of the information for any of these things yet. We do know, however, that the privacy watermark feature will let you to put a watermark on photographs that you post in order to prevent them from being misused.

The fraud protection feature, on the other hand, includes features such as “E-fraud warning,” “Official logo,” “Fraud application installation interception,” and “Transfer protection,” among others, to safeguard consumers from online and telecom scams.

As previously stated, MIUI 13 contains a new system font known as MiSans. It’s a flat, simple font featuring a lot of Opentype features, such as hyphen height adjustment for uppercase and lowercase characters.

How to Update Android on Xiaomi, Mi, Redmi, and POCO Devices Using MIUI

As you can see from the tables above, stock ROM updates are available in two versions for all Xiaomi, Mi, and Redmi smartphones: Recovery ROM and Fastboot ROM. Recovery ROMs must be installed using the Recovery or Local Update methods, whilst Fastboot ROMs must be installed via Fastboot using the MiFlash Tool.

Installation of the Recovery ROM

Recovery ROMs have a .zip file extension and can be installed from MIUI via the Local Update method. You can also install these ROMs using a custom recovery, however, keep in mind that device-specific procedures may change.

• Transfer the downloaded.zip file to your phone and make sure it’s in the “downloaded rom” folder in your device’s internal storage. Create a folder in your internal storage base directory if one does not already exist.
• Navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update on your phone, then choose “Choose Update Package” from the three-dot symbol in the top-right corner. If you don’t see the “Choose Update Package” option, click on the MIUI version logo 7-10 times.
• If the “Choose Update Package” option isn’t available, press on the MIUI logo 10 times to activate the option.
• Select the .zip file you just downloaded.
• Give time for the update to complete.

Installation of the Fastboot ROM

Fastboot ROMs have a .tgz file extension and must be installed using the MiFlash tool on a Windows computer, as well as a phone with an unlocked bootloader. Fastboot ROMs, although being more difficult to install than Recovery ROMs, are often the only means to boot into a working system. You can use the Fastboot binary to execute the flashing procedure, in which case the Fastboot ROM can be used on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

• On your Windows PC, install MiFlash Tool. Step 1 of this link will take you to the most recent version. Extract and install the tool once it has been downloaded. It’s also a good idea to install ADB and Fastboot in case you need them.
• By turning your phone off and simultaneously tapping the Power and Volume Down keys, you can put it into Download mode.
• Use the right USB cord to connect your phone to your computer.
• Download and extract the Fastboot ROM .tgz file. Remember where you extracted the file since you’ll need to put the address into MiFlash Tool later.
• Run MiFlash Tool on your Windows computer and paste the extract location from Step 4 into the tool’s address bar.
• When you click “Refresh” in MiFlash, the software should detect your device immediately.
• To flash the ROM file to the device, open MiFlash and click “Run.”
• The progress indicator in MiFlash will turn green, indicating that the ROM has been installed successfully. The latest version should instantly boot up on your device.
