There are multiple methods to install MIUI 13 onboard your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO smartphone: one is the Xiaomi.EU ROMs. There are official updates that you receive from time to time, but there is also the Beta China program (which introduces the news well in advance) and the related Xiaomi.EU ports.
But in addition to the Betas, stable ROMs also arrive from China, not in advance like the Beta ROMs but in any case more “rapid” than the western counterpart. If you would like to preview the MIUI 13, know that also in this case the Xiaomi.EU team has thought of you.
The concept behind the Xiaomi.EU ROMs are very simple: take the Chinese ROMs, which come out before the Global and/or EEA ones, and convert them to the western audience. This means translation into various languages, including Italian, and the installation of essential elements such as Google services and the Play Store, as well as the purge of unnecessary bloatware outside of China.
At the time of writing the article, there are still few Xiaomi smartphone models that have been officially (and not) updated to MIUI 13. But the list below will be updated as other Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models will be brought to the new version of MIUI.

How to install MIUI 13 in Xiaomi.EU version
Since these are custom ROMs, the ports of the Xiaomi.EU team must be installed as if they were a third-party ROM. This means having unlocked the bootloader and then installed the TWRP custom recovery. I remind you that this type of procedure involves formatting the smartphone memory, so I invite you to make a backup of the data you do not want to delete. Once you have started the smartphone in TWRP mode, move the ROM to the phone and install it from the Install menu.
If, on the other hand, your smartphone is based on Android 12, then you cannot act via TWRP, but install it via Fastboot mode. Download the ROM you want to install and unpack the ZIP archive on your PC, then connect the smartphone in Fastboot mode to the computer via USB.
At this point, what you have to do is run the installation script in the folder obtained by unpacking the aforementioned ZIP archive. If you have a Windows PC, it will be windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat; if you have a Linux PC, it will be linux_fastboot_update_rom.sh; if you have a macOS PC, it will be macos_fastboot_update_rom.sh.
