The arrival of MIUI 13 is imminent, but not for all mobiles. Unfortunately, several Mi and Redmi models will be left out , even those that are still on sale today. This decision is something that many were already waiting for, but it is nonetheless less bitter news.
Which Xiaomi phones will not update to MIUI 13?
Before continuing, we must clarify that this list is not official , it has come to us through leaks so that some models that we will mention below could have better luck and update to MIUI 13.
- Redmi Note 7
- Redmi 8
- Redmi Note 8
- Redmi Note 8T
- Redmi Note 8 Pro
- Xiaomi Mi 8
- Xiaomi Mi 9
- Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
- Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite
- Xiaomi Mi 9T
- Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro
- Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
- Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G
In more than one case, these computers have the necessary hardware to receive the MIUI 13 update without problems. But time plays against them, many have already exceeded the period of updates that Xiaomi guarantees.
However, we clarify again that it is still too early to assume that this information is one hundred percent true. Take it as a reference of what could happen with the official launch of MIUI 13.
In the best of cases, Xiaomi could decide to release a “special version” for these teams. Something very similar to what Apple does from time to time so that its operating system updates even reach models with more than 4 years old.
How to keep your Xiaomi mobile updated?
If your mobile will stop receiving official updates, you still have a second option. One of the advantages of Android is the custom ROM . In fact, the Mi Mix 2S and Mi Mix 3 can unofficially update to Android 11 thanks to a Custom ROM. Although you must take into account that sometimes these ROMs do not work as they should. It is best to research their performance before installing.
And if you are one of the lucky ones who will receive the official update to MIUI 13, we take the opportunity to remind you of all the news that this version will bring, one of the most important updates of Xiaomi in recent years.
