MIUI 14, Xiaomi’s Android 13-based software interface for its smartphones, is set to launch on December 1. The company’s upcoming software update will make its debut alongside the Xiaomi 13 series on December 1. Days ahead of the launch of Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphones, the Chinese OEM has introduced an early access program for MIUI 14 in China, allowing users to try out the latest software before it is officially rolled out. The program is currently notably limited to users in China, but may be expanded to other regions in the future.
According to a report According to ITHome, Xiaomi is allowing users to sign up for early access to MIUI 14 in China. The MIUI 14 testing program began on November 28 and will end on December 28 at 11:59 PM, according to the report. Users will have to sign up with the Chinese smartphone maker to try out the upcoming software update.
A user can register only one Xiaomi device — a tablet or a smartphone — for the MIUI 14 early access program, according to the report. Once a device is registered, users will not be able to register another Xiaomi device using the same account.
The report says that early access will be rolled out in phases. However, only users in China have access to the program at the moment, while users in other regions will have to wait until the company expands the testing to other countries.
Xiaomi’s upcoming MIUI 14 software update is expected to be based on Android 13, while older Xiaomi phones could get the MIUI 14 update based on Android 12. While the company has not announced any details about the features coming on MIUI 14 yet, the update is expected to bring core Android 13 features including improved privacy settings, better theme support, and an improved media player notification.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the Xiaomi 13 will be launching on December 1. The upcoming lineup will consist of two models – the vanilla Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. The upcoming flagship lineup will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The Xiaomi 13 lineup is expected to run on Android 13-based MIUI 14 when it launches on December 1.
