Xiaomi has finally introduced the global version of MIUI 14. Until the end of March, the firmware will be released for Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 11, Redmi 10 5G, Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro and 12 more models
Today, Xiaomi introduced the global version of the MIUI 14 interface. According to rumors, the firmware was supposed to be simpler than its Chinese version – and this is true.
For example, during the announcement, not a word was said about the “photon engine” – and this is one of the main features of the Chinese MIUI 14, which allows you to make applications “lighter” and, accordingly, more responsive. Also, nothing is said about a more aggressive unloading of applications from memory, the ability to remove all pre-installed applications, except for the eight main ones, as well as the ability to install a Tamagotchi pet on the screen.
What does the global MIUI 14 have? For example, software size reduced by 7 GB, easier access to the most frequently used applications, improved security. In other words, we should not expect anything cardinal, except for an increase in free space for storing files, from MIUI 14.
The first wave of the global MIUI 14 update includes 17 models, all of which will receive the new interface as an over-the-air update before the end of March. The list of models is as follows:
- Xiaomi 12;
- Xiaomi 12 Pro;
- Xiaomi 12X;
- Xiaomi 12T Pro;
- Xiaomi 12T;
- Xiaomi 12 Lite;
- Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE;
- Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G;
- Xiaomi 11 Ultra;
- Xiaomi 11;
- Xiaomi Mi 11i;
- Xiaomi 11T Pro;
- Xiaomi 11T;
- Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G;
- Redmi 10 5G;
- Redmi Note 10;
- Redmi Note 10 Pro.
As for the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Lite presented today for the global market, they have the MIUI 14 interface out of the box.

March 28 is a holiday for all users of the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra. On this day, One UI 6.1 is released for smartphones
Samsung promised to release the latest One UI 6.1 firmware for Galaxy S23 series smartphones at the end of March, and now a specific date has been announced: a big event for all users of last year’s flagship line of the Korean company will take place on March 28.
This date was confirmed by the Chinese office of Samsung (Galaxy S23 users began receiving notifications about the release of One UI 6.1 on March 28), as well as by the moderator of the official Samsung forum.
It should be noted that not all Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra will simultaneously and immediately receive the latest firmware. Typically, a company starts with several countries (China is apparently one of them), and then gradually expands its geography and user coverage.
Let us remind you that it became known earlier that smartphones of the Galaxy S23 line will receive all the AI functions (Galaxy AI) available for smartphones of the Galaxy S24 series.

The iPhone 16 Pro will be released only in six months, and the first test results of the Apple A18 Pro have already appeared on the Internet
The first results of testing the Apple A18 Pro single-chip system, which should be installed in the iPhone 16 Pro, appeared today on the Internet.
The device running Apple A18 Pro scored 3570 and 9310 in Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core tests, which is 22% and 28% faster compared to the A17 Pro. In Geekbench 5, the Apple A18 Pro scored 2571 and 7359, which is 20% and 38% higher than the A17 Pro.
In the second leak, the results are somewhat closer to the A17 Pro. The future chipset scored 2822 and 8571 points in Geekbench 6, as well as 2517 and 7359 points in Geekbench 5.
The Weibo user who shared the comparison testing results says that these only show the state that current prototypes are in. This is because Apple and other companies allow their chipsets to perform at their maximum potential. OEMs then work to achieve a balance between performance and energy efficiency. We will find out what the real performance will be closer to the release of new products.
The Apple A18 Pro chip is expected to be based on TSMC’s 3nm process. According to rumors, it will consist of two powerful processor cores and six low-power cores.
