Xiaomi said that MIUI 14 significantly reduces the space occupied by the firmware. With ~4GB reduction in the space occupied by MIUI, you can now use your ROM for the things that matter most to you, said the company.
MIUI 14 uses 200MB less boot up memory compared to MIUI 13, which the company says offers the fastest boot up speeds ever on a Xiaomi device. This also optimizes RAM used by foreground apps by up to 11% and background apps by up to 6% compared to MIUI 13.
MIUI 14 adds 14 new wallpapers, so now you can choose any of the 39 apps. There are 3 new clock styles, new gallery and weather widgets to customize your home screen. There are also new widgets for battery, step counter, cleaner, security and more.

With MIUI 14, users can also enhance the overall aesthetics through a redesigned settings page. By reducing the number of redundant entries, narrower line spacing and more recognisable icons, MIUI 14 makes it easier than ever to get to the settings you want.
