I've had the pleasure of using miui 6 and I must say it's really fantastic, smooth and lightening fast since my stock ROM was utter trash and kept draining my battery but MIUI did a wonderful job concerning battery conservation and overall "custom" look. it's being a long time I used miui but if the miui 10 is anything like the miui 6 I used then ifedith we have problem lipsrsealed

The Homescreen
In fairness, the "main" MIUI 6 homescreen can be customized to be more than just a grid of icons.Swipe to the left, however, and the size, layout and folder structure is identical to iOS 7.

App Switching
App switching is a feature Android had before iOS. MIUI 6, however, remade its app switching UI to perfectly mirror what you see on iOS 7.Of course, web OS did the card switching motif first, back in 2009.

App Folders
It's not just the folder layout in MIUI 6 that matches iOS 7; it's the entire interaction. The animation works almost pixel-for-pixel like how Apple operates in iOS 7.

Calendar
From the coloring to the layout to the text, most of the elements of these UIs are identical.

Compass
There are subtle differences between these designs, but it's hard to argue that MIUI 6 didn't take its cues directly from iOS 7.

Calculator
The colors are slightly different, but the basic design of MIUI 6's calculator app resembles iOS 7.

Video Camera
It's not just the still camera; MiUI aped the video camera controls, too.Notice that the record button is square when recording. This is something Apple did with iOS 7 and that MIUI 6 decided to adopt for itself.

Photo Camera
There are lots of different ways to draw a camera interface, making it even more striking to see MIUI 6's take on the button layout, shape and color of the camera.

Browser
Rather than trying to re-skin Chrome, MIUI 6 took its web browser cues directly from mobile Safari.

Control Center
Swipe up from the bottom to see a whole set of control overlays that are very similar to the Control Center Apple introduced in iOS 7.Again, this is an idea Android (and Samsung) had first. That's why it's telling that MIUI's implementation looks so much like Apple's -- rathe than other Android controls.

Music Player
MIUI 6's music app closely resembles iTunes for the desktop and the way music appears on the iOS 7 lock screen.

Email
Again, rather than copying the Gmail layout, MIUI 6 goes straight for iOS' Mail app.

Settings
Android settings pages are notoriously confusing. Copying iOS 7 was probably a good UX move, but this goes a step further, with the colors, icon and list views.

Notifications List
Android and iOS have copied one another when it comes to notification design. Still, the use of the icons and the overlay text in MIUI 6 is distinctly similar to iOS 7.

Notification Overlay
Even notification overlays in MIUI 6 are pixel-for-pixel the same as iOS 7.

In my own opinion I think people who still insist MIUI is awesome n AOSP is boring after nougat, Oreo n pie low key want to buy an iPhone but are too broke to afford it n too cowardly to admit it grin
Here are the reasons I am sticking with miui.
1. It works.

2. Its fluid enough for my daily use especially the gesture mode, you can't get that anywhere.

3. Second Space. That stuff is like no other.

Right now I wouldn't want to use an Iphone coz of so many restrictions, though Iphones are cool but I think they are unnecessarily overpriced.

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Jackossky(m): 8:40pm On Jan 24, 2019
I don't know if it's the charger.
My Redmi 5 charges slowly, I noticed it yesterday. After like an hour charge, the percentage only increased from 1% to 6%?
MI users, I hope it has nothing to do with the phone and is it safe to use common chargers to power it up?
