MIUI 13 custom Android skin by Xiaomi was originally unveiled by the handset maker at an event in China last month alongside its flagship Xiaomi 12 lineup. The MIUI 13 brings a range of new features that intend to deliver a better user experience over MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Version. Some of the improvements that MIUI 13 brings include, fraud protection, new widgets, improved performance, new system font called MiSans and a privacy watermark among others.

Even as there has been no official confirmation of the availability of MIUI 13 in India, according to Xiaomi’s past track record, the latest MIUI 13 update is likely to be available in compatible handsets in India in February. One of the most important features to look out for in the MIUI 13 are the new privacy-focused features, such as face verification protection, privacy watermarking and electronic fraud protection.  According to some reports, electronic fraud detection would be able to identify websites and devices that are ridden with malware.
