The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is recently starting to arrive in Europe with the much anticipated MIUI 13 update based on Android 12. Besides a bunch of optimizations, the update also includes a security patch for February 2022.
The firmware code is V13.0.1.0.SFNEUXM, and the total ROM size is 2.9 GB. MIUI 13 doesn't bring much new outside of China, as far as the look is concerned: there are new wallpapers!
MIUI 13
The MIUI 13 did not bring huge changes, the main changes were under the bonnet. Atomized memory provides better RAM optimization, while liquid storage makes internal storage more efficient.
It dynamically manages system resources so that the processor can focus on the important tasks, guaranteeing smoothness.
Smart Balance brings an innovation in energy use, with the possibility to choose between energy saving and performance. This can add up to 10% of uptime, which can make a big difference in some cases.
In addition, the widgets have also been updated, although fewer new features have been brought to the European ruin compared to the Chinese version, as we have become accustomed to in the past.
Android 12
The new Android version 2 promises greater security and efficiency, with new privacy options. For example, the accuracy of location data can be set per app, so a weather forecast app doesn't get your exact location, but only what it needs to work, in this example the city.
Here is the change log

According to Xiaomiui, the update is currently only available for Mi Pilots. This means it is still in testing. If it passes the screen, end users will be able to enjoy the new features.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite was released in April 2020 and was first launched with Android 10, which means that this Android 12 update is the last Android version update.
