Xiaomi is not entirely a smartphone company as many already know. In fact, the Xiaomi internet business started before its smartphone business. In 2010, the company released its MIUI skin. However, its first smartphone officially hit the market in 2011. Xiaomi has been doing a lot to improve the experience in its MIUI system. Nevertheless, according to recent reports, the company is pledging to do more. Xiaomi’s founder and CEO Lei Jun, believes that the MIUI Android skin can be better. This is the latest commitment from the company to improving the performance of MIUI.
His words:
“Smartphones are products that highly integrate hardware, software, and Internet services…The mission is to create better software and hardware integration and interconnection experience. Come on, I believe MIUI will be better”.
While many people will love to see the improvements in MIUI, Lei Jun did not reveal any specific details. Thus, we do not know when MIUI’s new features will arrive or which improvements it will get. However, it is relaxing to know that the company is making efforts to make MIUI better. Of course, we are expecting to see some software improvements with the Xiaomi Mi 11 launch today.

There have been numerous leaks and speculations regarding the Xiaomi Mi 11 series. For starters, this series will have at least two versions – Xiaomi Mi 11 and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
