After much speculation, Xiaomi officially unveiled its new mid-range POCO smartphones yesterday. The POCO X5 and X5 Pro stand out for having a 120 Hz AMOLED screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the Snapdragon 695 in the POCO X5 and the Snapdragon 778G in the POCO X5 Pro.
In this event, the Chinese giant also unveiled MIUI 14 for POCO, the most recent version of the customization layer for POCO, and said which devices will be the first to receive this new upgrade.
These POCO smartphones will receive an update to MIUI 14 and Android 13
So, the first thing POCO brand smartphone users should be aware of is that almost all POCO devices will receive the MIUI 14 update, which is based on Android 13, and that it will happen in two stages: The first will make the deployment of MIUI 14 for POCO on the most powerful handsets, and in the second, we will see it on the company’s mid-range and entry-level smartphones.
