Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 Set to Launch With India-Specific Features on February 27

It is just days before Xiaomi debuts its flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 13 Pro, globally and the Android 13-based MIUI 14 the next day. While MIUI 14 has been available in China, India will taste an exclusive version of the popular skin starting February 27.

MIUI 14 Will Launch on February 27 in India

Xiaomi India announced the release date of its MIUI 14 skin on its official Twitter account. The latest version will release on February 27, and the company is hinting at an "India-exclusive" experience, which means we may see features only available to Indian consumers.

Few devices, such as the Xiaomi 12 Pro, have already received the MIUI 14 update, but the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Pro will likely be the first to ship with the update out of the box.

What's New in MIUI 14?

MIUI 14 adds a slew of enhancements and features on top of Android 13. The new version will include custom icon sizes (four in total), custom folder layouts, and new wallpapers and widgets.

MIUI 14 also has a “fast Bluetooth connect” feature that allows you to connect to other Bluetooth devices faster. This feature reduces the wait time by keeping Bluetooth on in the background and showing you pairing devices as soon as you switch Bluetooth on/off.

MIUI 14 is said to have less bloatware (only eight pre-installed apps) and is smaller in size than MIUI 13. In addition, there are several new security and privacy features, as well as a simple toggle for silent mode and real-time subtitles during video calls.

Which Devices Will Get MIUI 14?

Some of the latest smartphones from Xiaomi, such as the Poco X5 Pro 5G and the Redmi Note 12 series, will get the MIUI 14 upgrade. Xiaomiui has a handy article that lists all the eligible and ineligible devices for the MIUI 14 update.

The update's rollout timeline has not yet been disclosed by the company, but we can expect more information in the coming days.
