POCO F4 Android 13 update

POCO F4 Android 13 is quite big in size coming in at 3.5GB. We advise you to take backup of all the data before proceeding with the update and also charge the phone to at least 50 percent. The changelog says the device might overheat or users may experience performance issues after the update is installed. This will happen because the phone is adapting to the new update and will become stable gradually.

Furthermore, POCO says that some third-party apps aren’t fully compatible with the new Android 13 OS and that users may not be able to use them fully. Android 13 update is set to improve search in settings, visual overhaul and privacy focused changes. The MIUI 14 update also shortens the bloatware and brings the ability to uninstall more apps that come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones. This also supports large icons, which are also customisable. There is a new Photon engine that offers deeper optimisation and more.
