Xiaomi always comes out with interesting updates regarding its devices every now and then with the latest being Android 13 based MIUI Beta update, which is now available for Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro handsets but only for 200 users during the first wave of updates.
Xiaomi made the announcement via Twitter and also added that all those testing the beta version should have a backup of all their relevant data before updating their handsets as the update process is going to take a longer time than is expected and affect the performance of the phone due to overheating.

The Xiaomi 12 update has the firmware version V13.0.4.0.TLCMIXM while the Xiaomi 12 Pro update has firmware version V13.0.4.0.TLBMIXM and both are over 4GB in size apart from the regular features.
