Major Differences Between the Standard MIUI and the New Skin for the Poco F1

Xiaomi’s Poco F1 has dominated the mid-range performance smartphone market by introducing a device with a low price tag and the Snapdragon 845. However, it’s hard to tell that Poco F1 is a Xiaomi phone ultimately since it also comes with an MIUI which is specially optimised for the phone. MIUI for Poco is a new attempt by Xiaomi to give the Pocophone a fresh look along with an improved UI and UX as compared to the standard MIUI. Although the MIUI for Poco is reasonably optimised and offers good performance, it is still in very nascent stages. Below we take a look at the significant differences between the Standard MIUI and the new MIUI for Poco.

Interface

The major difference in the interface of the two phones is between the Android skin. The two phones diverge from one another despite branching out from the same roots. Even in this area, the Poco F1’s UI offers a better choice for the users given its clean interface and much more likeable app drawer. The app drawer is part of the Poco Launcher which has also been launched recently on the Google Play Store. This new app drawer brings onboard better app sorting based on the colour of icons or categories. There is also the ability to hide apps. Further, the MIUI for Poco also cuts down on bloatware substantially, which otherwise comes as a part of the standard MIUI.

User Experience

Undoubtedly, the MIUI for Poco is not a UI with just a prettier face and same primary offerings. Instead, this MIUI for Poco offers a better experience as well, thanks to its “Turbocharged Engine” which according to the company’s claims, notches up the speed of app launch by as much as 25%. In the new MIUI for Poco, the company has also done away with some of the unnecessary animations. Many might of the view that the animations do not match the level of OnePlus’ OxygenOS, however, it is still an improvement over the previous standard MIUI.
