Hey, what's up? Sami here.
So yesterday I uploaded my Mi 12 series phones unboxing and hands-on,
you can check it out if you are interested but in this video we are talking about the MIUI 13.
After several hours with it i don't know if i should call it
MIUI12.8 or MIUI 12.9 but not MIUI 13. why? let's take a closer look!
Alright as you can see this is the Mi 12 pro black version and it's already the MIUI 13
and let's get on to some new features first, of course, is the widgets see you can drag it you can
move it, you can delete it. I guess you can delete it right?
Of course, you can delete it, remove right and also you can add it and because I've changed it to
English okay still it's very funny see if you know Chinese like what you eat today and
this is really personalized thing you can choose like just different uh different contents
like uh what you drink today i don't know what the hell is this.
anyway that's that's just a funny upgrade okay and the second after several hours with
i found the thing is really really stable it's really fast and stable i can no matter
what you do with it it's just just super super stable unlike the MIUI 12 you get the
bugs all different kinds of bugs here and there sometimes just froze your phones
for no reason but here on the MIUI 13 it's really stable no matter what App you open.
it's 5G area, everything is connected so you can see the smart devices you can connect different
devices to phone and then you switch your phone to tablet tablet to tv tv to your let's say maybe
car in the future and then it's all in one place you can here to add different devices
delete different devices blah blah and that's that's kind of like Huawei Harmony OS.
Before I did a review about it.
Alright, I just upgraded my Mi Mix 4 and Mi Pad 5 with MIUI 13 Development version.
Now I’m going to show you the seamless smart connection between the two.
We click in “Connection and sharing”, under the MIUI+Beta, there is an option called “Relay”. As
you can see I already “relayed” them before. What will happen after that? Now whenever I open any
App on my phone, just pay attention to this bar, the App icon will pop up here with a phone logo
on the top right corner. If I click on it, wait for a few seconds, then my phone interface will
appear on my Mi Pad 5. When I started to operate on my pad, then my phone screen will turn off.
I can watch videos from my pad. I can resize or move the window etc. You have to know on my Pad
5 I didn’t even install this video App! I can also open other Apps from my phone on my Pad 5.
If I close the window then my phone will light up. Next is the clipboard feature. Like I just copy
anything on my phone, it will automatically show “Already copied from my Mix 4 to clipboard”. And
then I can paste to wherever I want on my Mi Pad. Of course, the other feature Xiaomi said on the
launch event is the MIUI 13 Pad mode. You swipe from the bottom corner to minimize the window,
or long press the App icon and choose mini window to enable this feature. You can resize and drag to
wherever you want. This is great for multi-tasking but currently it only supports two floating Apps.
There are some other upgrades for the MIUI 13, here I’m not going to elaborate one by one.
The reason I’m feeling disappointed is because I didn’t see huge or fresh
upgrades from its predecessor. It is much smoother and more stable than the MIUI 12.5,
but you see, “fixing bugs” and “added fluidity and stability” are hardly upgrades,
right? Isn’t that the basic for a good phone OS? And for those Mi Smart Devices
connectivity we’ve already seen on Huawei Harmony OS or Apple, not something new.
So, that’s my opinion about the MIUI 13, what do you think about it? Let me know in the
comments section. Don’t forget to subscribe! I’m Sami and I will see you in the next one.
