POCO Android 12 OS update: POCO F3 GT receives stable MIUI 13 update in India

MIUI 13 features

MIUI 13 brings features like Liquid Storage, Smart Balance, Atomised Memory, Focused algorithms, Sidebar, and more. The former is a new feature that manages the way files are stored on the device at the system level.

The focussed algorithm’ dynamically allocates system resources based on usage. This in turn should make the user experience more fluid and responsive.

Atomised Memory is a RAM management engine that basically analyses the way apps use RAM and force closes the not-so-important tasks. 

Sidebar is a new MIUI 13 feature, which offers users to add up to 10 apps to the sidebar to quickly access them with just a swipe. Users don’t have to leave the current app to access the sidebar.

MIUI 13 brings a new smart balance feature that is claimed to strike a balance between performance and power consumption. Xiaomi says this feature can extend the battery life by up to 10 percent.
