120 Xiaomi models to get MIUI 14: Global Device List

Upgrading to MIUI 14 was one of the most anticipated events for owners of the Xiaomi ecosystem this year. Users around the world are looking forward to when their devices will have access to new features, an optimized interface and improved security. Xiaomi confirmed that a large-scale deployment will affect a huge number of gadgets, including not only flagships, but also budget models of the past.

However, the process of distributing firmware does not happen instantly for everyone. There is a clear hierarchy of release updates, depending on the region, device model and shell type (Chinese or global). In this article, we will discuss in detail the full list of more than 120 devices that are guaranteed to receive the new version of the software, and also discuss the technical nuances of the transition to Android 13 in conjunction with the proprietary interface.

It is important for smartphone owners to understand that getting a notification about the availability of an update is only the first step. Preparing for installation requires attention to detail, especially if you plan to use manual installation methods through Recovery or Fastboot. Below is a comprehensive analysis of compatibility and roadmap release versions for various product lines.

Key features of MIUI 14 and system requirements

The new MIUI 14 shell builds on the company’s latest memory and processor performance improvements, with the main requirement for a stable system that has sufficient RAM and a modern chipset. The basic architecture has undergone changes to reduce the resource consumption of background processes, but older models may have difficulty running heavy widgets.

The developers have focused on rendering and graphics. To properly display new animations and live wallpapers, it requires support for certain libraries that are missing from very old versions of Android. That is why the entry threshold for some devices has been raised, and a number of models that could theoretically be upgraded have been left behind due to driver limitations.

An important aspect is the support of artificial intelligence functions, such as text recognition in images and smart background blur in the gallery, which require specific neural modules in the processor, which automatically excludes from the compatibility list devices based on the Helio series of chips entry-level and old Snapdragon.

⚠️ Note: Before you start the upgrade, make sure that there is at least 10 GB of free space in the internal memory. Lack of space can lead to a cyclical reboot of the device during the installation process.

System requirements also include an up-to-date bootloader version. If your device hasn't received security updates in a long time, you may need to install an intermediate firmware version first, which is a standard procedure for ensuring the integrity of system partitions when you upgrade to a new major version of the OS.

Before upgrading, take a picture of the screen with the current version of MIUI and the build number – this will help you quickly roll back to the old version in case of critical errors.

Xiaomi 13, 12 and Mi 11 flagship series: Priority Update

The leaders in the race for new features are traditionally the devices of the flagship line of Xiaomi. Xiaomi 13 smartphones, including the Pro and Ultra models, received the shell out of the box or in the first weeks after the release, these devices are equipped with the most productive components, allowing you to unlock the full potential of the new system without compromise.

Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12T series are also in the priority area of updates, owners of these models can count on stable operation of all functions, including an improved camera and new shooting modes, which are software-based versions of MIUI. Optimization of power consumption for these devices has been carried out especially carefully, as they are often used for resource-intensive tasks.

The Mi 11 lineup, despite its age, has received full support, but users of these devices may notice some differences in the feature set compared to the latest models, because some of the hardware capabilities of the previous generation processors do not allow to implement all the innovations in full.

• 🚀 Xiaomi 13 Pro – Full support for all features MIUI 14 and Android 13.
• 📱 Xiaomi 12S Ultra – Optimized zoom and night mode.
• 🔋 Mi 11 Lite 5G — Improved connection stability and module operation NFC.
• 🎮 Xiaomi 12X — Added game profiles and speed up application launch.

For owners of Mi 10 series devices, the update is also available, but its output can be delayed depending on the region. Global firmware versions for these models often require additional certification, which increases latency.

List of compatible Redmi Note smartphones and digital series

The mass segment represented by the Redmi brand reaches the largest number of users. Digital series such as Redmi 12, Redmi 11 and Redmi 10 have received widespread support, these devices form the basis of Xiaomi’s fleet of equipment, and the company is trying to provide them with the latest security versions for as long as possible.

The Redmi Note series is the world’s most popular Android smartphone, with Redmi Note 12, Note 11 and even some versions of the Note 10 making the 120-device list, bringing them not only a new interface, but also important vulnerability patches, critical for low-end devices that are often targeted by attackers.

The table below provides a detailed list of Redmi models that are guaranteed to receive or have already received a stable version of MIUI 14.

The Redmi K series (known globally as POCO F) is also worth mentioning, with Redmi K50, K40 and its modifications being among the first to receive updates after Xiaomi’s flagships, because the Chinese market, for which these models are originally created, is a priority for testing new versions of the software.

POCO: M, X and F series devices in the list of updates

The POCO brand, which is aimed at enthusiasts and gamers, also took the lead. The POCO F series, which is a rebranded version of the Redmi K flagship, receives updates almost simultaneously with the originals, making these devices a great choice for those who want to get the most performance and relevant software.

The mid-range POCO X series is also covered by the update: POCO X5, X4 and X3 Pro models are (with caution) included in the compatibility list. However, owners of the POCO X3 Pro should be careful: due to known problems with the motherboard on this model, firmware updates should only be performed when you are confident that the hardware is working.

The POCO M budget lineup is the last to receive updates. The POCO M5, M4 and M3 Pro models are gradually being migrated to MIUI 14. For these devices, the update is more of a security support than a heavy visuals add to avoid overloading the processor.

• 🔥 POCO F5 Pro – Maximum performance and new gaming features.
• ⚡ POCO X5 Pro 5G — Improved stability of system and camera.
• 🛡️ POCO M5s — Optimization of autonomy and background processes.
• 📱 POCO C50 — basic interface support MIUI 14 Go (simplified version).

Importantly, for POCO Global Version devices, the update process may differ from Chinese counterparts.Global firmware undergoes more stringent Google GMS certification, sometimes resulting in delays of several weeks compared to Chinese versions of ROM.

💡

The POCO F-series devices are the first to be updated in the budget segment, as they are direct analogues of the flagship Redmi K.

Pad tablet computers and ecosystem devices

Not only are smartphones getting a new shell. Xiaomi Pad and Redmi Pad tablets are also included in the list of 120 devices. For tablet computers, MIUI 14 offers an adapted interface with improved multitasking, split screen and new widgets that effectively use a larger display diagonal.

Xiaomi Pad 5, Pad 6 and their Pro versions have seen significant performance gains from system optimization, with tablet owners noting improvements in stylus performance and smoother document scrolling, making the devices more competitive as a tool for work and learning.

Ecosystem devices such as smartwatches and bracelets do not receive MIUI 14 directly because they run on HyperOS or proprietary OSes. However, their pairing with smartphones on the new shell is becoming more stable, and data protocol and notification synchronization are improved.

⚠️ Note: When upgrading the Xiaomi Pad tablet, make sure that the battery is over 50%.The tablet upgrade process takes longer due to the greater screen resolution and system volume.

For some tablet models, the update may come in the form of a transition to Android 13 with a MIUI 14 shell, while others will remain on Android 12 with an updated interface.

Installation instructions and availability check

The process of receiving an update can be automatic or manual. In most cases, the user just needs to wait for the push notification. However, if you want to speed up the process, you can use the manual check function. To do this, go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version and click on the system logo.

If the automatic update does not come, you can use the local update method. To do this, you need to download the firmware file (.zip format) from the official site or trusted source, corresponding to your model and region. Then click on the update menu on three dots in the corner and select Select the firmware file.

For advanced users, the Fastboot update method is available using a computer and the Mi Flash Tool, which allows you to install the system completely, which often solves problems with bugs after updating through the air. However, this method requires an unlocked bootloader, which can entail a reset of all data.
