Xiaomi has unveiled the 12 series officially at an event in China. Alongside the Xiaomi 12 series, MIUI 13 was also unveiled at the event. Almost all rumors and speculations turned out to be true. For larger displays and enhanced productivity, MIUI 13 for Pad was also unveiled.
MIUI 13
MIUI 13 takes direct inspiration from iOS. It has similar widgets and an almost identical notification shade. Xiaomi claims that they have worked hard to enhance security and privacy. Although, one can argue that MIUI 13 is nothing but copied from iOS. However, if the software experience is smooth and animations, security, and privacy are as good as iOS, there’s nothing wrong with it. I hope Xiaomi lives up to the claims they have made about their software.
Xiaomi 12
Xiaomi 12 specifications have been revealed officially. The display will be a 6.28″ 12-Bit OLED display. The phone has a Snapdragon 8Gen1. This will be paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Furthermore, Xiaomi 12 will pack a 4500 mAh battery in a small body.
