Apart from some changes to the overall interface, you also have some other software tricks to increase the storage and memory on the device.  Other flagship phones from last year such as the Xiaomi 12 series, and more affordable offerings like the Redmi Note 11 and 10 series are also in line to receive the update.  Here\u2019s a glimpse of what MIUI 14 has to offer on the Xiaomi 13 Pro.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-w-img\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-507367 lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Mi-13-Pro-7.jpg?tr=q-100 600w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Mi-13-Pro-7-150x150.jpg?tr=q-100 150w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Mi-13-Pro-7-300x300.jpg?tr=q-100 300w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Mi-13-Pro-7-420x420.jpg?tr=q-100 420w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Mi-13-Pro-7.jpg?tr=q-100\"\/><\/div>\n<h3>Home Screen & Widgets<\/h3>\n<p>With the new MIUI update, users can more freely customize their home screen with widgets and icons so that they can get the most useful information at a glance.  I\u2019ve added a few widgets that make my daily work more efficient and the interface is organized in a tasteful way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-w-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"835\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-507724 lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1.jpg?tr=q-100 835w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1-150x108.jpg?tr=q-100 150w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1-300x216.jpg?tr=q-100 300w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1-768x552.jpg?tr=q-100 768w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1-696x500.jpg?tr=q-100 696w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1-585x420.jpg?tr=q-100 585w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1.jpg?tr=q-100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 835px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 835\/600;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The update also introduces a card-style design for apps like Spotify and YouTube Music, along with some utility tools like battery life, clock, notes, security scanner, and more.  New wallpapers have been added and icon sizes are now customizable to your liking.  Even the Settings app has seen a redesign with the removal of unnecessary tiles to give the menus a cleaner look. <\/p>\n<h3>storage optimization<\/h3>\n<p>Xiaomi claims that MIUI 14 will compress less-used apps to save space.  Xiaomi says that up to 3GB of storage can be saved over a three-month period.  Furthermore, the update is said to be lighter than previous iterations, with 128GB of internal storage saving up from 4GB.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-w-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-507725 lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2.jpg?tr=q-100 560w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-140x150.jpg?tr=q-100 140w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-280x300.jpg?tr=q-100 280w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-392x420.jpg?tr=q-100 392w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2.jpg?tr=q-100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 560\/600;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>If the graph provided by Xiaomi is anything to go by, MIUI 14\u2019s system resources will occupy almost two-thirds of MIUI 13\u2019s.  There are also some bootup optimizations that I definitely noticed while restarting the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.<\/p>\n<h3>Privacy and Xiaomi Sync<\/h3>\n<div class=\"full-w-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-507726 lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3.jpg?tr=q-100 560w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-140x150.jpg?tr=q-100 140w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-280x300.jpg?tr=q-100 280w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-392x420.jpg?tr=q-100 392w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3.jpg?tr=q-100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 560\/600;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The new update is focusing more on on-device security as well as privacy features.  As I said in my review, the Xiaomi 13 Pro always does a security check of apps that are installed outside the Play Store.  With MIUI 14, personal files will be processed on-device using any of the 10 native Xiaomi apps present on the device.  The company says that this is being done to avoid any risk of data leaking during transmission.  A basic text recognition feature on MIUI Gallery has been added for the same and it works for the most part.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-w-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-507727 lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/4.jpg?tr=q-100 560w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/4-140x150.jpg?tr=q-100 140w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/4-280x300.jpg?tr=q-100 280w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/4-392x420.jpg?tr=q-100 392w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/4.jpg?tr=q-100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 560\/600;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Furthermore, syncing between Xiaomi products such as smartphones and tablets has become even easier.  I didn\u2019t have a Redmi Pad or Mi Pad 5 to test it with, but the company says that transferring files between devices with MIUI 14 should be as easy as drag and drop.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Xiaomi 13 Pro (Review), announced by the smartphone giant in February, is the first phone to come with Xiaomi\u2019s MIUI 14 out-of-the-box.
