Xiaomi has finally launched MIUI 13, their next rendition of the custom Android skin in India. MIUI 13 is based on Android 12 and will continue to include several customizations which give you the MIUI feel. Xiaomi first announced its UI in December alongside the Xiaomi 12 series.

MIUI 13’s Latest Features
Wallpapers and Widgets
Xiaomi has made some exciting changes to its software with MIUI 13. One of them will be the home screen widgets that look like they're from iOS 14. There is a widget panel with a plethora of widgets to choose from. As with iOS 14, you can customise the size and appearance of the widgets. MIUI 13's control panel has been updated and now incorporates elements similar to iOS 14.
Aside from that, the new Android 12-based MIUI 13 includes several new live wallpapers that were captured using a polarization microscope to show the changes in crystal formation on the wallpapers. MiSans, a new flat and minimal system font, is also available.
Performance Upgrades
Xiaomi promises that MIUI 13 will be so much faster and have better software fluency than previous versions. Xiaomi claims there are 15% fewer frame drops in third-party apps and 23% fewer frame drops in native apps. Aside from that, Xiaomi's latest update has improved multitasking capabilities. You can now run 14 apps in the background of any Xiaomi flagship without any blimp in performance.
Improved and Advanced Privacy Options
Xiaomi has announced a slew of new privacy features for MIUI 13, including face verification, privacy watermarking, and fraud protection. For added security, the phone will scan the upper body in addition to the face with the new advanced face unlock system. Meanwhile, the privacy watermark will allow the user to add a watermark to images to prevent unauthorised use.
Although no official announcement has been made, the Android 12-based MIUI 13 global update will most likely include Android 12 privacy features such as the privacy dashboard, privacy indicators, and more.
