Many of you will surely remember Xiaomi Mi 6, the latest compact smartphone released by the Chinese giant in 2017. Launched with MIUI 8 based on Android 9, it was a hugely successful device with a user base, according to the CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, of well 2.15 million to 4 years since its release. Featuring the world’s first 10nm chip, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with a clock speed of up to 2.45 GHz, had 6 GB of RAM LPDDR4x with two memory options, namely 64 GB And 128 GB.
Despite the smartphone’s popularity, the company stopped supporting the device after updating to MIUI 11, with the receipt of a beta version of MIUI 12 which never reached the stable version.
Xiaomi Mi 6 unofficially receives MIUI 13
Now, however, users who have remained in possession of this device can try the new interface presented this week by Xiaomi, or the MIUI 13, thanks to an unofficial ROM.
A user Weibo @Amktiao announced the update dubbed Mi 6 MIUI 13 experience version. As already mentioned, this is an unofficial installation package, and therefore the need for TWRP to flash with consequent data backup to avoid loss.

The Descendant 12 ROM arrives on Xiaomi and POCO smartphones
Staying on the modding theme, the ROM Descendant 12, based on Android 12, for POCO F3, X3 (here’s our review), and other devices. It is a very popular ROM in the aftermarket development community, capable of offering an alternative experience to users who wish to retain the ability to customize their device while remaining close to the stock look and feel of Android.
Although a little late compared to other ROMs based on the latest version of the green robot, Descendant 12 will surely make all those users who have been waiting for it happily. Official builds feature a new startup animation, a redesigned volume interface, and a highly customizable dynamic theme system based on the implementation of kdrag0n. It is, for the uninitiated, an implementation that does not use any code or API from Google or Android 12, so you don’t need to have Android 12 to be able to use it on your device.
