Learn more about Xiaomi's new update. It promises to improve the fluidity of apps.
MIUI 14 can run all apps at 120Hz refresh rate. The latest update for Xiaomi 12S Pro released in China brings the feature to the device. The new feature can be found under Screen frequency settings in the Settings menu.
Enabling the option will open a list of the user's installed applications and require a high refresh rate to be enabled for each application. Typically, it should operate at 60Hz, although higher frequencies are supported in some applications. This additional feature allows the system to let these applications take advantage of higher speeds to provide smoother navigation.
Installing the build will upgrade your system to version V14.0.10.0.TLECNXM. In addition to the new features, the package also includes the August 2023 security patch.
Gradual implementation
It is likely that other Xiaomi phones will also be equipped with the new features in the future. The new version of MIUI 15 should also support this feature, just like MIUI 14. However, it is impossible
predict when a new feature will be released on more phones or if it will actually be released. For now we will have to wait for more news.
Xiaomi's new MiOS
It was recently revealed that Xiaomi is preparing the MiOS system, a successor to MIUI that focuses on building an ecosystem of devices. While there is strong evidence that the rumors are true, there is still not much information about the new system.
Furthermore, there is still the possibility of it becoming a Chinese monopoly.
Chinese releases
THE Xiaomi 13T and the 13T Pro were finally presented on September 26. Both versions of the company promise good performance, IP68 protection and up to four Android updates. Both have very interesting lineups and compete in slightly different markets.
The Xiaomi 13T is powered by a Dimensity 8200-Ultra processor with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, while the Xiaomi 13T Pro has a Dimensity 9200+ and is sold in 12GB or 16GB RAM options. On the screen, both are identical. It is a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a maximum brightness of 2,600 nits at Full HD+ resolution (2,712 x 1,220).
The battery in the lineup is 5000mAh, but the 13T Pro model is the only one that supports 120W fast charging. The standard model supports up to 67W. Xiaomi 13T Camera Xiaomi is more economical with two main camera resolutions. Instead of focusing on a 200MP sensor, the manufacturer adds a 50MP 1/1.28-inch lens with optical image stabilization (OIS) and f/1.9 aperture. The second sensor, the telephoto sensor, also has a resolution of 50MP and f/1.9 aperture, but the lens is 50mm. The third ultra-wide camera has a 12MP, 15mm, f/2.2 aperture. The selfie camera is also the same for both. It is a 20MP sensor.
Variable storage
As always, internal storage space varies depending on the model chosen. The options are: Xiaomi 13T: 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM + 256 GB of storage and Xiaomi 13T Pro: 12 GB of RAM + 256 GB or 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM with 1 TB of storage.
Long support time
Additionally, Xiaomi promises to provide the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro with up to four system updates and five years of security updates. That's the same number of updates that Samsung has guaranteed for the Galaxy S23, and until then, there's one more update that Google has sent to the Pixel line.
However, the Xiaomi 13T line is sold with Android 13, so it is last year's system. One of the updates is definitely to Android 14, which should be released this year.
Price and Availability
The Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro were first launched in Europe. The latest model
The basic version costs around US$$ 669 (R$$ 3,300, direct conversion), while the Pro version sells for US$$ 790 (R$$ 3,900). There are no plans to launch it in Brazil yet.
