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

## Regional versions of Xiaomi devices
Xiaomi devices, which are officially sold outside of Mainland China, usually come in three versions. Versions of Redmi devices differ in LTE band support and packaging, while the versions of Mi devices are identical in hardware and only come in a different box. Some Xiaomi devices only have Chinese Versions while Android One models aren't sold in Mainland China at all.

Versions of Redmi devices differ in LTE band support, pre-installed ROM and packaging, while the versions of Mi phones tend to be identical in hardware and only come in a different box and with a different ROM. Some Xiaomi devices only have Chinese versions while Android One models aren't sold in Mainland China at all.
### Chinese Version
Chinese Versions are manufactured and sold in Mainland China, they come in a Chinese box with a NEMA plug power adapter and the China Stable ROM pre-installed. Most resellers sell the Chinese Versions of Xiaomi devices with a Global ROM, since most models only come in that version.

Most resellers sell the Chinese versions of Xiaomi devices with a Global ROM (often labelled as "International version" or "Global ROM version"), since some devices are only available in China.
**Warning: On Chinese Versions manufactured after May 2018, it's not possible to boot the Global Stable or Developer ROM if the bootloader is locked.**
**Warning: On Chinese Versions manufactured after May 2018, it's not possible to boot any ROM other than the official Chinese one if the bootloader is locked.**
### Global Version
Global Versions are manufactured in Mainland China and sold in the rest of the market (outside of Mainland China and India). The box's language and the power adapter's plug varies by region, but the phone always comes with the Global Stable ROM pre-installed. Global Redmi devices also support more LTE bands than their Chinese counterparts. Global Versions have a red 'Global Version' sticker on the box and most resellers offer both the Global and Chinese Versions of a phone when they exist.

### Indian Version
Indian versions are manufactured and sold in India, they come in an English box with an IN plug power adapter and the Global Stable ROM pre-installed. Indian Redmi devices support significantly less LTE bands than Chinese Versions, because only a fraction of those bands are used in India. Resellers who are dealing with Indian versions are extremely hard to come by. Indian versions have a red 'Made in India' sticker on the box.

There are a couple of Xiaomi devices that don't have official Global ROMs available. The best solution for these devices is installing the Xiaomi.eu ROM which is a debloated and optimised China ROM with Google Play, suitable for Western use. However, since it's a custom ROM, installing it requires an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. Unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP might be lengthy and annoying, so it's understandable if someone wants to keep using their device on the China ROM temporarily, or all the time because they aren't interested in flashing custom ROMs. Thankfully there are several ways to make the China ROM more pleasant to use for global users.
**For these purposes, the China Developer ROM is recommended.**
### Debloat the ROM
* Go to Settings > Installed apps and uninstall every app you can on the list.
