In conjunction with the release of the MIUI 12 a bomb was prematurely thrown: the MIUI 13 it would already have developed. Nothing could be more false of course and we are sorry that many blogs have wanted to make news without any founded basis. The thirteenth release of the custom skin will take place, but its development has not yet started. Despite this, some sly people have decided to make fun of users publishing on the Play Store an application that would allow to proceed with the download of the test version of the aforementioned release. Clearly it is a false, which doesn't even work.
An Indian user has decided to develop a downloader app for MIUI 13: it is badly made, fake and won't even start
It is very sad to see how after the ban from India, an Indian user took the trouble to develop an app dedicated to Xiaomi. But after all you don't have to make all the grass a bundle and we know there are some bloggers who stand against this block of Chinese apps. In any case, I would say that this application, rather than acting as an MIUI 13 updater, looks like an updater for MIUI 12 + 1, where the +1 is only in the attempt to fool users.
We tried to download this application to try to understand how it works but in reality it doesn't even open. The logo with the number 13 remains perpetually without being able to access options or settings. The only way to see what's inside this application is check the screenshots on the dedicated page of the Play Store: here are some data but, as we expected, they are fake. Indeed, the version 20.4.27 of Xiaomi Mi 9SE does not correspond to the real one. For this reason we recommend you do not download of this app.
Luckily, the application does not open, at least on the undersigned device, but it is to be expected that if it works it will ask for authorizations of any kind.
