Xiaomi Mi A1 will be missed, hopefully Mi A2 will be better

Xiaomi's custom ROM, aka MIUI, is known for some heavy skinning on top of Android, something that some don't really appreciate. Also, because there's third-party skinning involved and because Xiaomi likes to update each and every device in its portfolio more or less on similar lines, the fact that users have to wait longer for updates, doesn't go down well with many. That besides the fact that the company is known to kill some key Android features just so it can maintain uniformity across its devices is a subject of much debate.
