Beta testers can promptly install the update. The stable release, however, appears to be postponed to late August this time around.
Update July 27, 2023: Android 14 Beta 4.1 is now available. The new beta update includes an extensive range of bug fixes for a point update.

The developer beta is currently available for select Xiaomi devices including the Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro and the 12 Pro.
Update June 02, 2023: A recent tweet by Mishaal Rahman suggests that Android 14 might introduce battery health stats to Android devices.

Update May 29, 2023: Google has released the Android 14 Beta 2.1 update for Pixel devices, addressing bugs and improving performance. However, some users have reported camera app crashes when switching lenses. Despite this issue, users can update to Android 14 Beta 2.1 for a more stable experience.
Update May 10, 2023: Android 14 Beta 2 has been announced, and Xiaomi devices will also enjoy the Android 14 beta. This time around, Xiaomi is not limiting access to the Android 14 beta to just one device. Instead, Xiaomi is offering eligibility to multiple devices, including the Xiaomi 12T, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and Xiaomi Pad 6. These devices, available in both global and China variants, provide a wide range of options for Xiaomi users to join the Android 14 beta and provide valuable feedback for further improvements.

Update March 09, 2023: Android 14 Developer Preview 2 has been launched. It is the second preview released a month after the first preview, giving us a glimpse of the new features that will be available on Pixel phones later this year. From improved security and privacy to new customization options, these new features make Android 14 a more personalized and user-friendly operating system.
Update February 08, 2023: Google has announced the Android 14 Developer Preview 1, and it brings a ton of new features to the operating system. Furthermore, Google has also revealed the roadmap for the Android 14 release. The roadmap reveals that Google is planning to launch Android 14 as early as August 2023. Xiaomi should also begin testing Android 14 on its flagship devices by August 2023.
The original post is as follows:
Xiaomi Android 14 Release Date
- Xiaomi Android 14 update might be released in Q4 2023.
Android 14 is still in its early stages of development and is not expected to be released until Q3 2023. Generally, Google announces Android’s stable build in August. This is followed by other OEMs releasing their version of Android a month or two later. Xiaomi also follows the same pattern.
To recap, the Android 13 beta on Xiaomi phones started rolling out in August 2022, while the stable build arrived only in November 2022. Keeping this in mind, we can also expect the Android 14 update in the same time frame.
Xiaomi Android 14 Features
Android 14 will bring many new features and improvements to the platform. The features expected to be included in the new OS are predictive back gestures, improved battery life and performance, improved privacy and security controls, satellite connectivity, and a new sharing menu. We can expect some of these features in Xioami’s Android 14-based MIUI.
Android 14 Developer Preview 1 Features
The initial preview release of Android 14 gives us a taste of the new features that are expected in the final version of Xiaomi’s Android 14. Some of the notable changes are:
- Security and Privacy Section adjustments: The Security and Privacy section underwent some slight changes in the developer preview, featuring clearer subheadings and no drop-down menus. However, since each OEM has a unique design for this section, the change is not considered major for MIUI.
- Return of Screen-On-Time: The screen-on-time tracking feature, which was removed in Android 12, is now back in the Android 14 developer preview.
- Taskbar Icons with Text Labels: Devices with a DPI of 600 or greater will have text labels added to their taskbar icons.
- Fast Pair included: The Fast Pair feature by Google has been added to the Connection preferences in the settings, but currently, it does not have any active functions. It is expected that Google will add functionality in future updates.
- Improved Basic Color options: The Basic Color options in the Material You theme have become more visually appealing, featuring more vibrant colour choices.
Android 14 Developer Preview 2 Features
Android 14 Developer Preview 2 has introduced many changes and improvements. Here are the top ten features included in this update:
- New System Icon: Android 14 has a brand-new system icon that is inspired by NASA. This icon will be available in various locations across the interface, including system notification pop-ups and when connecting to a PC for USB debugging.
- Changes in Gesture Navigation: Users of gesture navigation will notice some changes when using the back gesture. It is now housed within a pill-shaped container that follows the Dynamic Color theme chosen on the device.
- Improved Security and Privacy Menu: Android 14 Developer Preview 2 includes improvements to the security and privacy menu introduced in Android 13. Drop-down menus have been replaced with dedicated pages for each individual section, providing a unique page view for each section.
- Changes to the Lock Screen Widget: The lock screen widget is now condensed to just one line, and the weather conditions are displayed in line with the current day and date. The previous two-line format is not available.
- Unique Regional Changes: The “Languages and input” section on the device allows users to customize regional settings such as the units of temperature (Fahrenheit or Celsius), the starting day of the week, and number formats. This feature works alongside the per-app language settings that are already available, giving users complete control over the localization of their devices.
- Flash Notifications: Android 14 Developer Preview 2 includes a new feature called flash notifications, allowing Pixel owners to get the previously missing notification LED. This feature can be located in the accessibility section, where users can select the camera LED to blink when a notification arrives on their phone. Users can turn on camera flash notifications, screen flash notifications, or both at the same time.
- Wallpaper Preview: The update also includes a full-screen preview option when setting a wallpaper on the device. Users can now quickly enter a full-screen preview mode when selecting an image from the device’s default image repository.
- New Clock Settings: Although not yet functional, users will have the option to choose a custom clock for their lock screen in a future update. This feature will enable users to select a clock design that suits their preferences, resulting in a more personalized lock screen experience.
- New Monochrome Theme: The update also includes an added monochrome theme that users can choose as part of the basic colour section. This option will display on-device system themes in either milky white buttons for light mode or grayscale buttons for dark mode.
Android 14 Beta 1 Features
Some of the noteworthy enhancements that Android 14 Beta 1 offers are as follows:
- Transparent Navigation Bar Toggle: A new feature that lets users force the navigation bar to have a transparent background color, making it easier to view concealed information without the need to scroll down further.
- Lock Screen Customization: Android 14’s lock screen could reportedly offer more customization options to users, such as the ability to change the clock’s appearance. However, in Beta 1, there are minor lock screen changes such as the option to disable weather on the lock screen.
- Enhanced PIN Animations: There are new animations when dialing in numbers for those who use a pin as their lock screen method.
- Live Wallpapers for Lock and Home Screens: Android 14 will allow users to set a unique live wallpaper for their lock screen and home screen, but this feature is not yet available in the Beta 1 version.
- Improved Authenticator App Security: One of the most significant changes is the enhanced security feature for authenticator apps, which will prevent malware from stealing two-factor authentication codes. Android 14 restricts accessibility services and apps to ensure that certain malware cannot access authentication codes.
- Modem Upgrade for Pixel 7 and 7 Pro: If you update your Pixel 7 or 7 Pro to Android 14, the modem will be upgraded, leading to better phone calls and cellular network connectivity.
- Other Changes: Other changes include a Bluetooth LE audio toggle and new under-the-hood modifications like new configuration files for external touchpads.
Android 14 Beta 2 Features
Here are the key features of Android 14 Beta 2:
- Languages & input split: The “Languages & input” menu has been split into two sections – “Languages” and “Keyboard” – for easier access to language-related settings and keyboard preferences.
- Font size Quick Settings tile: A new Quick Settings tile has been added to adjust the system-wide font size directly from the notification shade.
- New uninstall/trash icon: There is a new icon for uninstalling or deleting an app, giving a fresh look to this common operation.
- App info line separation: The layout of the app info screen has been changed to create a cleaner look by removing line separation between different sections.
- New animations: New animations have been added for specific interactions, such as accessing Wallpaper & Style settings and long-pressing app icons.
- New Security & privacy icon: A redesigned icon has been introduced to represent the security and privacy settings and features in the operating system.
Do keep in mind that these features are only specific to Android 14 Beta 2, and they may be further altered or expanded in subsequent releases before the official launch for consumers.
