So, if you are frustrated with Xiaomi’s painfully slow Android 13 rollout, Paranoid Android Topaz is a viable solution to experience the latest Android release on your Redmi or Poco phone. The only downside is that you must get your hands dirty (virtually) to install the AOSP-based ROM. On the plus side, you can experience Android 13 without MIUI and any bloatware that Xiaomi typically bundles on its phones.

Paranoid Android Topaz stable is available for the following Xiaomi and Poco phones:
