List of Xiaomi smartphones that will be updated to Android 13

Friday, 18 February 2022 at 05:14

Although Google has already announced Android 13, the stable version of this system will not appear until the summer. But that does not mean that after this we will see a massive transition of devices to the new version of the popular operating system. Manufacturers need time to customize their user interfaces, perform tests, and detect / correct any bugs. This process should also be followed by Xiaomi developers - especially for the MIUI 13 version of course, which will be based on it.

As a rule, Xiaomi is not that fast when it comes to updating its devices to the latest version of Android, so do not wait for the updates to be released as soon as possible. But it would be nice to know which smartphones can be upgraded to Android 13.

Xiaomi itself has not yet published a list of models that will be upgraded to Android 13, but Xiaomiui is coming to help us with this, having compiled a list of potentially compatible devices. The list was compiled based on information obtained from sources within Xiaomi and from several MIUI developers.
