MIUI 13 features
Xiaomi claims that Liquid Storage will reduce device fragmentation by as much as 95%, reducing the amount by which devices will slow down with age.
Smart Balance is aimed at improving Xiaomi smartphones' ability to find the perfect balance between power efficiency and high performance. The improved algorithm with MIUI 13 should foster a better app user experience overall, prioritizing currently open apps over other background processes, and distributing hardware resources in a better way.
Xiaomi promises new widget options as well, allowing for increased personalization in the App Vault and on the home screen. MIUI 13 is also bringing "Sidebar," which will allow users to access a select group of apps simply by swiping to the side, without leaving their current app.
The Android 12-based update will launch on the above list of phones by March this year, Xiaomi announced, with the release schedule for other devices to be gradually unveiled on the MIUI website.
