Alb, 29 Dec 2020Lol you call IOS garbage?! What is wrong with you, MIUI it&... moreiOS can only dream about being as advanced as miui.
lol it took them 10 years to deliver basic widgets and app drawer all of which are still half baked and full of bugs.
Even budget devices are embarrassing iOS in terms of software features and ease of use.

3rd party apps are crashing more on iOS than Android. I wonder why? Maybe coz Android is simply more optimized than iOS.
All the Optimization PR campaign from Apple has been badly exposed in the real world.
Handicapped ecosystem of iOS will never be as polished as Android.
Keep dreaming!

Atleast oneplus every phone has Custom ROMS & you can easily unlock bootloader unlike Xiaomi you have to request for their approval on your own device & make you wait for many hours if you're lucky they approve & too bad if you're using a mediatek Xiaomi no Custom ROMS

They know that when a battery is bad the customer thinks their phone is done. Even buying a new battery doesn't help. It's the poor power management for the phones they're trying to kill. Unless you get MIUI 12.5 straight out of the box forget

IOS works fluid and has no ads and unnecessary apps. I'm a Xiaomi user and he is right I'm here just for the low price of Snapdragon hardware and my love for Android.

Like apple decreases the speed of its older phones,samsung does the same and so do phone companies like xiaomi. It really isnt a surprise. The reason for this is simple which is to keep the phone optimized for new ui updates, feautures and much more.

                        I don't care about nature sounds or any other type of sound and image added, you shouldn't even mention this kind of update, shameful "putting new sounds". They could focus on security and privacy features like the option to call some contacts listed on the lock screen as it already exists on other devices, in case there is a loss and someone in good faith finds the device and wants to return it.

                            Does this prevent the phone from sending data back to Xiaomi headquarters?

                                Heck, I've got 2 dirty bombs from a Russian source this year alone.
                                But I'm thinking more along the lines of people stealing personal information like bank accounts and stuff. Not sure where you live or how it works but I get at least 5 calls a week from a person who sounds like he is in India wanting me to renew my computer warranty which expired 7 years ago. Constant stuff like that. So my point is why open the door and invite them in.

                                      It could have been called miui 13 but Xiaomi for whatever reason wants to stay away from that number.

                                        Even on the budget side, Redmi 10X, Poco X3, Poco F2 pro, Redmi Note 9 pro 5g won't have become bestselling phones if the UI was the worst.
