MiuI vs. Stock Xiaomi Android: What do you prefer?

[ad_1]

I I remember the first time I used an Android One device. Many years ago when Infinix introduced the first Android One device in Africa, the Infinix Hot 2. It was about my first interaction with Android Stock and, for someone who n & # 39; 39, had experienced Android that's with skins like Samsung's Touchwiz, and other skins at the time, like XUI of Infinix (now XOS), there was a lot to take in account. First of all, everything seemed different, from the arrangement to the colors. It was a pretty different experience. from the absence of a file manager in the absence of an FM radio. There was no gallery application, and I was more than confused.

It's been a few years now, and Android has evolved. Stock Android still has no official app of the gallery, there is still no FM radio on all Android One devices that I've used (Nokia 7 Plus and Infinix Note 5), although I saw one on the Nokia 3.1. The included file manager is still very basic, and you'll want to download something more serious. However, the thing that has become better is the overall appearance of Android. Stock Android, for what it is, is clean, well arranged and beautiful. And every year, we see manufacturers declutter their skins to look like or look like Android stock. Many people claim to prefer Android stock on any skin.

Personally, I interacted with a couple of skins in my experience with smartphones. And many times, I've been in the camp of people who love Android stock. I still do it. But every time I am in stock Android there are features of other skins that I miss. For example, Infinix and TECNO skins, quick gestures, screenshots and scrollshots, a screen recording, a detailed overview of phone specifications, and more. On Samsung, there is biometrics, shortcuts, themes and many others. capabilities. Recently, I first had an interaction with Huawei's EMUI, and in my review Huawei Y7 Prime 2018, I told you how different and exciting it was to use Android with a different approach. And that's the basis of this article after a week using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5: still Android, but differently.

This happens to be the first time I interacted with MiUI (MiUI 9.5, version 10 is still in beta) and whooah, there are a ton of things cooked in the experience.I do not know how to detail everything because that I'm afraid of missing something that someone else really finds important.But here

My favorite things about MiUI:

Gestures:

The why we switched to larger screens is to have more screen to use. With Stock Android, the huge navigation switches spoil the experience. On MiUI, you have the possibility to use them or to move to gestures. An upward sweep takes you back home, a sweep and hold takes you to recent apps, a swipe on the sides brings you back. I swear, it's the best form of navigation I've experienced on a smartphone. Yes, I've never used the iPhone X. I want to say that it's the main thing that makes me so much like the UI, but there's still a lot more to interesting things that i would like each phone to have. There are also several other gestures that I have not detailed here, and you can customize each gesture for a particular function

Gallery:

On Android One, I have to download a Gallery application because I'm 39, uses Google Photos only for all different image files is stressful. The application of the integrated gallery is so dope. He arranges things so well. And the best part for me is screen captures, where they are chronological yes, but also you see more data above the screenshots on where they were taken. So, for example, if the screenshots come from the Facebook app, the information will be above. So cool.

Notifications and quick settings:

The time is in the upper left corner. Which is different. But you're used to it. On the Home screen, the time only appears on the widget, leaving the free notifications panel for your icons. You can customize whether icons appear on the notifications panel or not. You can choose to display the name of the carrier or not, and even change the name of the carrier for your name or anything. Just above the quick settings, there is the date and the weather. The weather is constantly updated at your location, and there is cool graphics. The changing colors are nice.

Lock Screen:

The lock screen is clean and beautiful, and if you have music or anything, it shows itself really well.From the lock screen you can access the flash light and the remote Mi by doing slide your finger to the left Have an IR blaster, you can control all the gadgets in your house.And do it from the lock screen of your phone

Much More:

I do not can not detail everything here.The application of settings is so different.System applications have their section dedicated You can have two applications running. You can have a completely different "guest desk" called "second screen". You can control different headphones and how you interact with the buttons on your headphones. There are themes, there are wallpapers, there is a nice distribution on the use of the battery. Calendar app that sends reminders of days to birthdays and times to events. And much more.

With all these features, it's easy to see why Xiaomi had the courage to ask this question publicly:

People will say that they prefer android stock Yes I also say the same thing but nothing beats a well thought out experience Android stock does not get close to the experience that MiUI gave me.

I know that stock Android means bets up to date faster, but we still have to see an important update received very quickly on many devices, as we expect Android P. The problem that many companies with heavy skins like Xiaomi and Samsung have, it's that they are lagging behind on Android updates.There is a lot to be done before a stable update can be sent.The Samsung Galaxy S9 is still to receive Android 8.1 and will probably stay with Android 8.0 until the end of next year when they send Android P. But we can not pretend re that the Samsung UI experience is not good because without the user interface, it won Do not be the cool smartphone that is.

So yes, the Android stock is good, beautiful, organized. But no, it does not beat the experience of custom user interfaces, in this case MiuI of Xiaomi, give to their customers.

Which user interface do you like most, and why?
