MIUI 14, the latest operating system from Xiaomi for smartphones, has been officially announced. It features a brand-new design with optimised performance to deliver a steady and smooth experience. It brings a reimagined home screen as well as appealing widgets and creative wallpapers and a host of several tricks to improve the overall smartphone experience for consumers. Xiaomi 13 Pro, the latest smartphone from Xiaomi, co-engineered with Leica, is the first smartphone from the company that would come running MIUI 14 out of the box.
What’s Different and Better with MIUI 14
The MIUI 14 comes with Smart ROM Optimisation which promises a smooth experience for the users. It is nothing but Xiaomi saying that the MIUI 14 will optimise the way MIUI utilises the RAM and internal storage. The Smart ROM Optimisation feature can drastically reduce the cached storage used by analysing infrequently used apps and reduce the storage used by as much as 3GB over a period of three months. Xiaomi has also reduced the space taken by MIUI so that a better user experience can be delivered. Xiaomi said that for phones with 128GB of internal storage, it means up to 4GB of additional storage, which is a great thing.
With the RAM optimisation feature included in the MIUI 14, users will also get a faster boot-up experience. MIUI 14 uses 214MB less boot-up memory, enabling one of the quickest boot-up speeds ever seen on a Xiaomi device. In addition, MIUI 14 has reduced the RAM occupied by the 19 most-used system apps by 11%, including camera, clock, messages, and more, while also reducing the memory usage of apps running in the background by 6% compared to MIUI 13.
