Theoretically we are winding down about the next customized interface of the Chinese brand, or the MIUI 13, which should debut in August with a 'important news regarding the integration of a multilingual system, including Italian, which could therefore put an end to the division between China and Global branches.
But today we are not talking about this, but about another aspect that goes hand in hand with the future and substantial update to MIUI 13, or Android 12, the new major software release of the green robot from which MIUI 13 is inspired in many ways, such as for example for the new incognito mode even anticipating the very functionality that will come from the Big G software. But in the face of an important update, one always wonders if and when your device will be included in the beneficiaries of these innovations.
Before discovering which smartphones will be updated to Android 12, it is right to mention what will be the innovations that will be implemented, many of which will concern the management of privacy and security, an aspect to which the different generations of MIUI us they have already indoctrinated for quite some time. For example, icons for the camera and microphone will be inserted that will be activated if a running app exploits these elements, but there are also rumors of the native integration of a VPN for greater security in navigation on browsers and apps, but also the ease of use in certain areas will undergo significant improvements such as the simplified sharing of Wi-Fi passwords, until now possible by scanning a QR code, while using the Nearby Share protocol, it would be possible to send it to nearby Android smartphones, a little 'as if you were sending a file via Bluetooth.
A sudden upheaval of Android 12 will concern the quick toggles, which will remain available in a reduced number because more space will be given to widgets. It is not certain that these changes will also affect MIUI 13, an interface that we know how to follow its own style and perhaps it is also good, because absurdly the widgets on Android have always existed but only now that iOS is enhancing them after having inserted them in your code, then it is given the "right" importance. The same goes for handling notifications, with a more curved effect for the Conversations and general notifications tab.
Here are all Xiaomi smartphones, POCO and Redmi who will receive Android 12
Another novelty that perhaps will not directly involve MIUI 13 will be the introduction of Themes in Android 12. In fact, since the first generation of MIUI, the themes and the deep customization at a graphic level have always been present and have contributed to making the brands to all over the world. Instead, for lovers of chat and messaging new emojis will be dedicated but above all with Android 12 and MIUI 13 you will no longer have to wait for the system update of the Unicode standard, as Google will separate them from the OS.
But the news of Android 12 also seem to concern a renewed multitasking recall system, as well as the possibility of creating series of "combos" of apps to be started in "split screen" mode, but of course it will be the general performance that will be the absolute protagonists. of the substantial update of the future operating system.
Apart from all this, let's try to draw up a list of what will be the smartphone models branded Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO which will support the arrival of Android 12, remembering that the list in question is not official and therefore not to give too much weight to the fact that your specific model is not included in the published list, as long as you do not have a smartphone belonging to the era of dinosaurs.

An apparently well-fed list but which in reality only brings out how much confusion Lei Jun's company submits its users, with smartphone names very similar to each other, often rebrands of other models and / or in any case with a comma of difference in level hardware. A policy of updates that in reality we cannot criticize that much, considering that giants like OnePlus who had instead made it their workhorse, are adapting to constraints in this sense, even dividing users or rather their devices into low, medium and high end.
In this at least Xiaomi does not differentiate wealthier users from less, quite the opposite.
