MIUI 13 users are in serious wait after MIUI 14 announcement. There are many devices that are not expected to receive the MIUI 14 update, although they are good devices. So what will be the end of these devices? If you think that these devices will not be used again because they will not receive updates, you are wrong. We also have good news for devices that will not receive the MIUI 14 update.
Why Xiaomi Doesn’t Give New Updates for New Devices
Some devices will unfortunately not receive the MIUI 14 update. The main reason why these devices do not receive updates is that the SoC and CPU units they use cannot handle the needs of today’s Android and MIUI versions. Since it cannot handle these needs, the users of those devices will experience slowness after MIUI 14. While devices will work with high performance with MIUI 13, slowness will be experienced after MIUI 14 update. If all the devices in the MIUI 14 Ineligible Devices list received the MIUI 14 update, a lot of bug trackers would be opened due to old hardware and software incompatibility and the development of MIUI would be prevented.
Xiaomi does not aim to release the latest MIUI updates to every device, both to improve MIUI and not to slow down old devices.
