The final version of Android 13 is still a long way off, according to Google's timeline, it will be released in August 2022. Beta versions were already available in April and Xiaomi is releasing beta versions for its 2 latest phones and tablets for testing.
I should say up front that this is not MIUI, it's stock, the basic Android system. Before everyone starts looking for the download link.
The announcement has already been made by Xiaomi in the East and globally, although not many people in China are interested in the new basic Android. A Xiaomi Community forum in an announcement published today, the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 5 devices have been marked with download links. The announcement is translated into English:
