How does MIUI compare to EMUI? Considering the Mi Mix 2 to go with my honor 8

[orangecroc]

Love the look of the Mi Mix 2 and wondered how MIUI compares as the software experience is more important, otherwise I will have to stump up the extra to get a Mate 10

I'd like to know this too! That does look like an interesting phone.

I always wanted to try out miui but no phones in the usa have it

I don't have much hands on but MIUI should be the more "Asian" of the two. EMUI wasn't too loved by many but has matured over the years. MIUI is still a generation or two behind. Which may or may bother you, I personally could probably survive the UI as long as the hardware delivers

edit
Said EMUI when I meant MIUI. Corrected that.

There are miui themes and launcher, if you want to try

I used nova anyway, it's the notification shade and menu systems that really concern me as they are what's left of the UI when a launcher is used over the top.

Good point. Is the notification shade that much different? Menu systems are less important to me as I don't use it frequently

I've heard good stuff about miui. Never tried it though. The MI Mix 2 sure is beautiful. Supposed to be very customizable like emui. There are videos in YouTube vs between them two

But I hate the camera placement

Ah ok.

Not a big deal for me. Don't use front facing cameras often, and certainly not in apps other than the camera app.

I don't use it much. But when I do, that bottom placement will bother me.

Was that a typo?

 

[Aljean Thein]

Was that a typo?

Which part. Butt. Yes

 

[dpham00]

Ok wasn't sure if it was intentional or accidental

 

[Aljean Thein]

Oh no, I wouldn't say that for no reason.
