While Xiaomi is still working on MIUI 12, there were rumors that its next major update was MIUI 13. The company even conducted a survey on the features users would like to see in the new update earlier this year. Now, a forum host revealed that the MIUI 13 update may be launched for smartphones in the second quarter of 2021.
As early as October, the Chinese technology giant was expected to showcase the MIUI 13 platform at the Mi Developer Conference (MIDC) held from November 5th to November 7th. However, the latest version of MIUI was not mentioned in the event.
Now, the latest information about the next version of the custom skin is provided by the Mi Community Super Moderator, who made it clear that according to the PiunikaWeb report, MIUI 13 will be displayed in the second quarter of next year.

It is worth noting that the MIUI 12 update was released in the first quarter of 2020, so the schedule does indeed seem to be near a similar date, albeit with some delay.
Despite the launch almost a year ago, there are still some devices that have not yet received Xiaomi’s update to the latest custom skins. Therefore, we may see the update at the time mentioned by the host or earlier.
Unfortunately, although the information is provided by the moderator, these members are usually not particularly close to the internal operations of the company.
Therefore, we are not completely sure whether the company actually plans to show MIUI13 in the second quarter of 2021. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep this report for the time being and continue to follow it for more updates.
