There are still a few months left to officially have the MIUI 13.5 version of the customization layer on our Xiaomi mobile. However, the beta program has already allowed us to appreciate the great changes that will accompany this software update of the Chinese brand and that is why we have compiled the main news that will captivate the community.
Although it is true that most of the modifications are directly related to the design of the interface, there are also quite interesting options that you can take advantage of within the system. Precisely for this reason, it is convenient to review the most outstanding ones so that when the update arrives you do not feel surprised and you know in advance how the additions work.
MIUI 13.5 to shore up your Xiaomi
The Chinese tech giant has made a habit of releasing intermediate versions of its layer in order to lay the groundwork for future updates. As a consequence, it will be MIUI 14 that will mean a significant change compared to the current firmware, but MIUI 13.5 has very striking features that are worth noting.
MIUI 13 Smart Sidebar Improvements
The arrival of MIUI 13 meant the landing of one of the most outstanding novelties and that is that the smart sidebar was a quick way to open applications from anywhere on the smartphone. Pulling down this bar grants direct access to apps you’ve previously selected, but there was a bit of a problem.
The main drawback of this functionality is that it did not allow all the applications to be integrated , so to open some of them you could not use this method. Now, with MIUI 13.5 this will no longer be a problem and the user will save time by being able to do it from anywhere on the device.
Greater accessibility to storage
Surely when trying to make room and delete files to gain space on your Xiaomi mobile you have come across the famous “Others” section. This appears when accessing the storage and observing the graphic bar that shows the amount that each section is consuming.
However, it has always been inaccessible and this generated confusion in users, since it was impossible to check what information it contains, as well as to eliminate it. MIUI 13.5 means the end of the mystery and that is that you will gain access to its interior , although some files still cannot be deleted.
More Internet connection speed
Among the most outstanding features that accompany the MIUI 13.5 update of the Asian company’s customization layer is the option to share the Internet connection via Ethernet . In short, it is an advance that will imply a drastic improvement in browsing speed.
Many wonder how it is possible to take advantage of this function and it is that with a USB-C adapter for the mobile you will be able to connect your device to increase the capacity of your Internet.
Revamped widget menu
The facelift of the system is one of the most important aspects when it comes to receiving new versions and MIUI 13.5 aims to change the widget menu. In this way , it is more assimilated to what pure Android 12 offers in models such as the Google Pixel 6.
A bottom tab that you can pull down to have a search bar and a preview of the tool at hand. An addition that many will use to personalize their home screen.
