The MIUI 14 update of Xiaomi‘s customization layer for Android is reaching more and more phones from the Chinese company. So it is important to know the main differences that this new version has compared to MIUI 13, in order to know in advance all the news that it hides inside.
Xiaomi has presented great changes with the update, above all, focused on optimizing performance to improve the operation of the equipment. However, both your Xiaomi and Redmi or POCO smartphones are about to (or have already) undergo an evolution that also affects the device in terms of functions and system options, but we are going to investigate more about them.
Changes from MIUI 13 to MIUI 14
We are in the first phase of the deployment of the MIUI 14 version of the layer, although, recently, the technology giant has announced which phones will receive the patch during the second phase. Regardless of which of them your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone is on, you will want to be aware of the changes that are there compared to MIUI 13 .
Less default apps
Users have expressed their disagreement with the large number of pre-installed applications on the system and Xiaomi has listened to requests to remove a large part of them. This will translate into a greater free storage capacity and fewer tools that we hardly use. A measure of MIUI 14 that, without a doubt, will mean a before and after for the software of your mobile.
Superior performance
As we have already mentioned a few paragraphs above, one of the main goals of the Asian brand with MIUI 14 was to drastically improve the performance of Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphones and they confirm that the update will make the device work 50% faster than MIUI 13 , as well as increased energy efficiency of 22%. These are considerable numbers that must be taken into account because it will greatly affect speed.
New menu for widgets
Widgets are tools that allow us to access certain information from the applications installed on the device without having to access them. In MIUI 13 an app known as App Vault landed, but only in the Chinese version of the ROM. Now, this system comes to MIUI 14 for your Xiaomi with the intention of providing a multitude of ways to customize the home screen of your phone.
Recognition of text in gallery photos
We have already seen this feature on Apple iPhones with iOS and now MIUI 14 adopts this option to make a lot of work easier for us on Android . In short, this option will recognize the text of images in your gallery so that you can interact with it. This means that you can copy and paste the content of an image to another application easily and simply. A rather interesting addition compared to MIUI 13 for which it is worth making the leap to the new version in the case of having a device that is not going to receive more updates.
