16 February 2021
Android no longer uses dessert names for its Android releases, but it’s still fun to talk about.

      [deleted post]Android once again is first. IPhone always second place. Go cry in a corner for your pathetic attempt to put down the greatest OS on smartphone aka Android.

        Smarties is more adequate !

          Andreidinutu, 16 Feb 2021I agree. Oneui is literally almost another OS when it comes... moreI disagree.... MIUI is on a different level compared to One ui in terms of customization.
          Remember miui started making their money through themes store.

            [deleted post]Android already had this feature on Chinese Android skins and Ui from Asus and Samsung.
            Most people don't care about new Android version for this exact reason. All the features one needs, are already baked into their custom Android skin years before stock Android gets it. Lot of the features can be easily sideloaded if they aren't baked into the original skin.

              If this is stock Android, most people are going to use a different launcher and customize their home screen a little bit.

                  Good I sincerely hope it brings Perfomance upgrades like much more streamlined render pipeline, GPU UI utilization and proper core ultilization for games.

                  Literally Android didn't bring any performance improvements since Android Nougat.


                  And many under the hood improvents.

                    Should've been named Delta Dawn. Monica Geller will be ecstatic.

                        Yeah, Google is just finally catching up to Samsung after so many years. I'm really sick and tired of those who go on about stock Android and the latest update from Google (which is always years behind Samsung and other Android OEMs.

                          Andreidinutu, 16 Feb 2021I agree. Oneui is literally almost another OS when it comes... moreI prefer

                          OneUI~EMUI>Zenui(stock android+sound record+secure/folder)>Stock>other Chinese

                          EMUI especially for its firewall+ease of split screen

                          I hope MIUI adopts Firewall in future, though it would lose its ad revenue.

                            AnonD-940827, 16 Feb 2021Didn't they kill the dessert names? That's why is for internal usage only, intact Xiaomi too has specific nMe for internal usage.

                            Though i prefer the desserts name than the numbers, as numbers are so lifeless.

                              Andreidinutu, 16 Feb 2021I agree. Oneui is literally almost another OS when it comes... moreStock android and IOS is boring right now. They are just simple to use, but lacks many features. My preference OS is between MIUI 12 and OxygenOS 11

                                Samsung, Xiaomi and a bunch of other manufacturers have had one-handed mode for years already, but still a good feature to add to stock android nonetheless.

People love stock android but now, almost a lot of features from OEM skins are being incorporated so, what's the point? Tbh, stock is bare bones and I don't understand installing apps for the features baked in OEM ROM which is far better implementation with less security or privacy concerns. Android 12 with more OEM features lol

                                        I don't understand why people like MKBHD likes stock android, sure, you get the fastest updates, security patches and are very easy to use, but it lacks features. Dark mode, screwn recorder, one handed mode, customozation are all over the place on Samsung and Chinese brands android skins. Sure, they get less update, but... What's the point of an update if you already have those features? I am fine with MIUI 12 even if it is android 10 bcuz it has most of the android 11 features. Color OS has crazy customizations, oxygen os combines one ui and stock, which looks great. Miui has crazy good animations and transitions that work very good with 144hz displays. Stock android lacks a lot of those features, and any of that fancy cool stuff. And even heavy skins are now flawless, except ads in MIUI
