Poco F3 GT is receiving the MIUI 13 update, based on Android 12. The handset from Poco was launched in India last July. Upon unveiling, Poco F3 GT ran MIUI 12.5 skin, based on Android 11, out of the box. Earlier this month, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite users in India had received the same MIUI 13 update. The latest skin update marks the Mi 11 Lite's second MIUI upgrade and its first Android version upgrade.

Poco has announced the update via a tweet and users can get their updates from the Poco Community webpage. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite had received the same update a few days ago. A collection of new wallpapers and some layout improvements to the notification panel were added to the smartphone with the new update.
