After having some talked for months, here is finally born the MIUI 14. The custom Android skin of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones debuted in China with an avalanche of new features. As we mentioned in recent days, the strong point of the shell is its lightness: it has been cleaned up, lightened, cleared of all that is not essential. In particular ads and bloatware are gonethe. Let's see everything in detail.
MIUI 14 is official in China. Here are the new features and here is the list of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones that will be officially updated
In MIUI 14 the so-called is implemented Razor project, aimed at reducing the size of the operating system: all firmware takes up 13.09 GB on the device. According to Xiaomi, this is a record value, since the closest competitor "weighs" 15 GB (we are talking about iOS). Also, the operating system consumes only 3.3 GB of RAM, which also became the lowest value ever. Finally, the number of pre-installed non-removable applications has been reduced to just 8 - it's about Camera, Settings, Phone, Mi Store, Messages, Browser, Contacts and File Explorer.
At the same time on MIUI 14 the function of was introduced into the system combine duplicate files to save space. Unused applications are compressed if they have not been launched for several months. Another major innovation was the Photon engine which works with the Android core and opens up more opportunities for third-party application developers. It was revealed that thanks to him, the system now works noticeably smoother and faster, and the applications consume up to 22% less energy.
There are also visual changes. For example, for application icons (probably only the standard ones), we can choose one of the four sizes that the company has made available. Basically, icons can change shape. Another interesting innovation was the appearance of a digital pet on the main screen. In the example, a cat widget was presented, which goes about its business during the day, pleasing the user's eye. Pretty useless, but still a nice thing to look at.

With the new OS version, your Xiaomi or Redmi smartphone is able to identify texts in images and interact with them, similar to iOS. Incidentally, Xiaomi has compared both software and promised more accuracy in its operating system.
It goes without saying that all the news in question are, at least for now, exclusive to the Chinese firmware. As we have seen in the past years, the new features and improved performance will be less in the Global firmware than in the Chinese one. The motivation is simple: i Google services are heavier and prevent some native MIUI 14 things from working.
