What's new in Android 14?
At the moment, Android 14 is in beta, with a stable version expected to be released in the coming months. Nevertheless, we are already receiving further leaks about features and improvements that could significantly impact Xiaomi, XRedmi and POCO smartphones. In today's article, we will describe the potential impact of the latest Android version on smartphones with the MIUI system overlay. With the upcoming Android 14 operating system fast approaching, Xiaomi smartphone users can expect a number of innovations. Let's find out how the new Android could affect the user experience of these popular phones!
Features and improvements
Android 14 brings with it a number of new features that are likely to make a significant difference to the user experience. One of the key elements is the increase in font size, which can now be scaled up to 200%, something that will certainly be appreciated by those with vision problems. What's more, the system introduces light notifications that use the camera flash and screen to signal notifications, which may be helpful for those with hearing impairments.
Battery and performance
Android 14 also introduces significant changes to improve battery life. Improvements to the management of background processes and downloads and uploads should translate into significantly extended runtime per charge. This is a key aspect that could contribute to an even better user experience for Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO.
Customisation
The new operating system also offers better language support and introduces the ability to customise regional preferences, which may be particularly important for users in different regions of the world. As a result, fans of the green robot system will be able to customise their devices to an even greater extent.
Other changes to Android 14:
• faster and more secure sign-in with Google Passwords
• completely new widgets
