I bought a Miui phone about a week ago. It's on miui 12.5 and it's the first time I've ever used this OS. I expected to hate it because of all the flack it gets. But honestly, it's fine. It's not that different from Android.

I did have to uninstall a load of bloatware using ADB and I added a custom launcher (Niagara).



MIUI is Android though - and it passes strict Google CTS tests so it stays (reasonably) compatible with software.
