This year Xiaomi has done what no other manufacturer has allowed itself to do before. She canceled the release of the planned MIUI update and re-released the old version again. This step was due to a large number of bugs and flaws in the firmware that users encountered. Therefore, the Chinese decided not to tempt fate and just work on the bugs, calling it MIUI 12.5 Enhanced . But this does not mean that MIUI 13 will never be released? Of course, it does not mean, and Xiaomi has been working on its creation for a long time.
Xiaomi still plans to release MIUI 13

Despite the fact that Xiaomi undermined its position a little with the release of MIUI 12.5 Enhanced instead of MIUI 13 , it has a great chance to work as well as possible by debugging a new firmware version and releasing it without fear for its stability. And there is clearly something to worry about, given the total number of changes compared to the previous assembly.
What’s new in MIUI 13
MIUI 13 will look slightly different than previous versions
The key change in MIUI 13 compared to the previous version of the firmware should be a redesign. It is difficult to say yet whether it will affect the entire interface at all, but at least it is already clear that the changes will affect the Control Center and the desktop, which, thanks to the new elements, will look completely different from the old versions of MIUI.

The first thing that catches your eye is the widgets. Xiaomi designers, apparently, decided not to abandon this interface component, as originally planned, but still bring it to mind. In the new iteration, the widgets look more unique than the last time we saw them. Then they were completely copied from iOS , but now they have added identity.
MIUI 13 update
It can be seen that since last time Google has slightly changed the rendering of widgets.
Despite the change in the rendering of the widgets, their format has remained exactly the same as it was. These are square or rectangular blocks that take up the space of two, four, six or eight app icons – just like on iOS. Not to say that this is bad. After all, the well-defined shape of the widgets contributes to the consistency of the entire desktop. However, I personally have the feeling that MIUI is half iOS.
Xiaomi remakes Control Center in MIUI 13
Some kind of widgets have also appeared in the Control Center. In any case, many elements of the operating system control have turned from small buttons into quite visible blocks with drop-down menus for additional settings. It is still difficult to say how much this is practically justified, but visually the Item began to look more cumbersome, filling almost the entire screen with its content.

On the other hand, as you can see in the screenshots, the Control Center can be customized to your liking, changing both the arrangement of elements and their shape. This can be seen from the data summary on the left edge of the screen. On the left screenshot, the summary includes the exchange rate, distance traveled, free disk space – but on the right it doesn’t. For such a performance is definitely a plus.
MIUI 13 – release date
MIUI 13 will clearly not be released until spring
Since Xiaomi has not even had time to release the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced update for all smartphones that it shines on, it’s too early to talk about the release of MIUI 13 . However, there is not a single chance that the Chinese will delay the launch of a new iteration of the firmware until next year. Considering that MIUI is their main brand, there is no doubt that the release will take place very, very soon.

It’s hard to say exactly when. There is too much work for Xiaomi developers to bring MIUI 13 to mind . However, I would bet that the “real” firmware update will be presented in the winter, and then will be given for testing and debugging, which will last for several more months. Thus, the actual release of the update will take place approximately closer to spring. At least I wouldn’t wait for the update earlier.
