Almost every Xiaomi smartphone owner can install the first system app updates from the new version of MIUI today, despite the early stages of development.

We selected the three most notable updates, tested them and made sure there were no bugs or useful changes to tell you about all the innovations, especially many.

But first, we would like to answer questions about the “Poco X3 NFC” update, whose owner is interested in how long this smartphone will be supported by Xiaomi.

Typically, smartphones get EOS status (end of support) three to four years after launch. Therefore, this smartphone will continue to receive security patches and MIUI updates.

But recently, the list of smartphones that will not upgrade to Android 13 includes this model, so you can count on full support, at least until the end of this year. As for the other models on this list, it looks like this:

It should be noted the unexpected appearance of the “Mi 10T Pro”, because this smartphone will definitely attract a new version of Android, and otherwise everything is quite natural.

First of all, we would like to clarify that we are talking about the programs “MIUI Desktop”, “Poco Launcher” and “Settings”, because they have the greatest impact on the interaction with your phone.

MIUI and Poco Launcher desktop

While upgrading both apps, Xiaomi worked to reduce RAM usage, Poco brought the smoothness of drawing on smartphones to the level of the latest alpha version of MIUI desktop.

In general, the company’s last few releases have managed to do what could not be done in almost a year, the lack of interface lags when opening the control center and menu of recent applications.

With the right level of optimization, the smoothness of drawing the desktop is now at a decent level, even on low-cost smartphones.

Settings

After installing this version on smartphones running Android 12, you will see a new main settings menu, whose elements have been redesigned and given new features.

We will not talk about each of them, but as an example, we will show the menu for disabling blocks in the new control center.

If you open the menu section called “Notifications and Control center” and click on “Additional cards”, you will come to a new page in SetEdit to disable “Mi Smart Hub” and a new player.

Even after uninstalling the update, the changes are saved so you can install the update, configure it and roll back the Settings app to a stable version safely.
