On the Xiaomi 13 series released at the end of last year, in addition to the new upgrade in the core hardware, we also saw its first MIUI14 operating system, the bottom layer is the latest Android 13. MIUI14 is called the smoothest operating system ever by Lei Jun, which has a major change in the underlying code, introduces a photonic engine architecture, and is more reasonable for processor/memory/storage scheduling
It also opened the razor program, which streamlined many complicated functions before, and there were few self-contained applications, which can basically be uninstalled. Overall, MIUI14's performance this year is qualified, at least Ash has not seen such a large-scale spit as previous versions
After updating several versions, it is widely believed that the last version of MIUI14 will be MIUI14.5, but now it seems that Xiaomi is ready to skip MIUI14.5 and go directly to MIUI15. In fact, it is not difficult to understand, mainly this year is different from previous years, the iteration of the new machine is faster, in October Qualcomm's new generation Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor will be released, and in November
Xiaomi 14 series and Redmi K70 series will also come one after another, when the hardware has been updated, there is no reason to use the old system, MIUI15 escort is also reasonable. Recently, the MIUI15 development version has appeared on the Xiaomi server, which confirms this even more
This MIUI15 is still an alpha version, the version number is MIUI-V23.5.22, compiled on May 22, should be an early beta version, and the model currently testing this version is the Redmi Note13 that will be released in August, it seems that MIUI15 does not have to wait until the release of Xiaomi 14 and Redmi K70 series in November will appear, and will meet us in August
Although the specific interface of MIUI15 is not yet available, according to the convention, compared to MIUI14, it will integrate improved animation effects, smoothness, safety and battery power consumption will be further optimized, and practical functions and other aspects will also be improved.
Of course, Mifan is most concerned about two points, the first is whether there are more old models to be upgraded and compatible, and the second is that if these old models can be upgraded, then the bottom layer is based on Android 13 or the latest Android 14. Third, if the MIUI15 has major new features like the MIUI14 photonic engine, will the old model be abandoned and just hang a shell?
All this needs to wait for Xiaomi's official answer, and Ash will continue to pay attention!
