Xiaomi's next-generation operating system, MIUI 13, has been available to Chinese handsets for some time now. The Chinese tech giant has now announced that it has started the first wave of MIUI 13 global rollout. The company has shared an official list of smartphones that will be receiving this update in Q1 2022. While Mi 11 and 11T smartphone lineups are going to be among the first to receive the update, the list also includes Redmi Note 10 series, Redmi Note 8 (2021), Redmi 10, and Xiaomi Pad 5 tablet. The Redmi Note 11 lineup will have MIUI 13 at launch.

Xiaomi has shared the list of smartphones that will be getting MIUI 13 in the first quarter of 2022. This includes Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, Mi 11 Lite 5G, Xiaomi Pad 5, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and more.

Xiaomi has said that the global rollout scheduled for MIUI may vary by region. It has also not explicitly mentioned any information relating to Android versions, so not all phones on this list are expected to receive Android 12 with this update. Additionally, this list does not include Indian models, as the information for those products will be shared separately.
