MIUI 13.5 Update Details

After the release of MIUI 13 with significant changes and a fully functional OS for foldable phones, the MIUI13.5 was supposed to be the next big update. While Xiaomi users had high hopes for this update, the company seemed to have different plans. However, now that the update is in the news once again, let’s find out when can we expect to see it on our devices.

MIUI 13.5 Release Date

Xiaomi introduced both MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 13 at quick intervals of time. As a result, users made similar calculations for the release of MIUI 13.5 expecting it to be released in late 2022. However, they introduced MIUI 14 directly in early 2023, indicating that they had no plans to introduce a minor update.

Although the recent talk of MIUI 13.5 has sparked some hope among users, Xiaomi has made no official statements regarding it. Moreover, it does not seem practical to expect an MIUI 13.5 update as it was already rolled out as MIUI 14 last year. Yes, surprisingly, Xiaomi skipped on MIUI 13.5 and rolled out a major update with all the latest features and enhancements in the devices.

Final Words

MIUI 13.5 includes some of the best improvements and features so far. And this highly justifies the fact that Xiaomi users are so excited about this new update. Sadly, since Xiaomi has already introduced MIUI 14 with all the expected features and enhancements, it is unlikely for them to introduce a separate update for MIUI 13.5. Xiaomi had different plans with MIUI 15 as well and they introduced the HyperOS on the latest Xiaomi devices.

So, if you were waiting for the MIUI 13.5 update, then we are disheartened to say that it is not available anymore. However, if your device supports MIUI 14, then you can access all the enhancements and updated features on your smartphone.
