Xiaomi has officially announced the much-awaited MIUI 14 for Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco smartphones. The MIUI 14 brings several changes and is lighter than ever. It is said to be safer, more interactive, and more connected.
With that said, let’s take a look at all the features of the new UI and also its global rollout schedule.
MIUI 14: All features and changes
Light and optimized
MIUI 14 is focused on being light. In fact, it’s lighter than ever, as per Xiaomi. As opposed to MIUI 13, it takes less system memory making space for more available memory. So as soon as you update to the new UI, expect a bit of storage to be cleared out.
Xiaomi also claims that the UI is more optimized than MIUI 13.
Redesigned home screen, card-style design, changes to notifications
Xiaomi revamped the home screen experience by bringing widgets. With MIUI 14, users can rearrange the home screen as per their wish since it will allow users to add big folders and widgets. It has more tabular icons and a new set of wallpapers.
MIUI 14 brings a card-style design with rounded corners letting you see more information. Third-party notifications on the UI are no more permanent, which means you can force close them.
On-device privacy
With MIUI 14, Xiaomi appears to finally get serious about privacy. The new UI adds on-device privacy, which means all the data will be processed on your device instead of going through a third-party server. This will help minimize leaks during data transmission.
This feature will be available for 10+ system apps on the UI.
On-device text recognition
The new software skin brings support for on-device text recognition. Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco users with Android 13-based MIUI 14 will be able to extract text from images. The text will be recognized and processed on the device itself.
