MIUI 13 features

MIUI 13 features a new mechanism that prevents and reduces decay of rear-write capabilities through Atomised Memory and Liquid Storage technology by 5 percent over a  36-month period—prolonging the lifespan of devices.

MIUI 13 brings a new font called MiSans. The company says that it is a simple font optimised for Chinese and English languages to present clear visibility and comfortable reading. The font is part of Dynamic Font System 2.0 and it inherits OpenType features, meaning the height of hyphens automatically adapts to uppercase and lowercase letters.

MIUI 13 brings the beta version of Mi Smart Hub that will offer a more connected experience between smart devices. Users can find nearby devices with Mi Smart Hub and a seamless gesture to allow sharing and access content such as display, music and even apps across multiple devices.

Thanks to Apple, Xiaomi has now introduced dynamic widgets with MIUI 13. The company has been testing this feature since August 2021 and some of these widgets are similar to other custom skins. There are chances these might not find their way to international versions. There are new dynamic wallpapers, face verification protection, document watermarking, and telecommunication fraud protection.

Other notable features include widgets for mini-games, countdowns, reminders to drink water, what to eat today suggestions and more. There’s a customisable Xiao AI Virtual Assistant that allows users to create their own customised avatar for Xiaomi’s Xiao AI virtual assistant in China. There are over 50 sets of clothing and accessories. The MIUI 13 system protects users from spam calls/texts, malicious applications, and harmful file transfers.

The new Mi Magic Center allows users to manage their Xiaomi ecosystem products from under a single roof. However, only a select few devices are compatible with Mi Magic Center.

MIUI 13 Pad

MIUI 13 Pad brings support for floating windows and the application windows can be resized as per requirements. Xiaomi products running MIUI 13 can now sync with each other. Users can continue their tasks on their tablets from where they left off on the smartphone. Xiaomi has now adapted 3,000 apps with MIUI 13 Pad.
