MIUI is Xiaomi's own custom Android interface which runs on most of their devices by default. MIUI is also the second most widely available custom Android ROM in the world. It's getting updated weekly and the development is very community-oriented. All news, suggestions and feedback are posted and collected on the MIUI forums and the community does the testing as well. As a result, there are updates every week, containing bug fixes and new features. MIUI receives a major update once a year, in a similar fashion to Android. The design of the UI differs from Google's Material Design and resembles iOS to some degree.
