MIUI 13 Global:
Last month, the company announced a custom interface version of Android MIUI 13 in China with a set of new features such as an updated control center, a new font, a widget store, as well as drastic overhauls to how the Xiaomi Android interface deals with hardware to give the user a better experience on his phone.
In the global version of MIUI 13, users will not get any of the features that users inside China will get, but all that this update will carry for global users is a sidebar that enables them to access some application shortcuts by dragging from the side of the screen, and in addition to What Xiaomi says are significant improvements in performance and in how MIUI handles phone resources and battery.
This sidebar may conflict with the gestures found in recent versions of Android, and you can also get a sidebar by installing an app from the Google Play Store, so I'm not sure if this feature needs to be integrated into MIUI 13.
And in the end, I would like to remind you that Xiaomi has announced two other versions in less than a year (MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition) with the same promises to improve performance, but none of them have been achieved on the ground, as users still suffer from interface bugs despite installing the latest available version of MIUI, And I don't know if MIUI 13 will give users any improvement in their experience, or if they will have to wait for the MIUI 13.5 update to get new promises from Xiaomi.
