MIUI is a kind of firmware developed by Xiaomi and it is used in its smartphones Xiaomi Mi2, Xiaomi Mi3 and Xiaomi Mi4. The abbrevation MIUI stands for "Me (or Mi) You I". It's a wordplay based on the product name Mi and the term UI (User Interface).

MIUI is brand-specific firmware based on Google Android. What this means for users is that Xiaomi smartphones in essense use Android as OS, but heavily modified by Xiaomi to give users an enhanced user-experience and more capabilities. MIUI doesn't look and feel like Android (more like Apple's iOS) although it still is.

This is a very exciting news for the Mi4. The mobile devices of today have actually become an extension for photography tools. Having a panoramic 3D camera in the Mi4 Xiaomi would be great news for its fans base. Sometimes brands like Xiaomi should really experiment and try to explore other ideas when it comes to its mobile devices to be able to be unique and win against the favored mobile brands of today. You can check the PricePanda website to know more about the Mi4 and its current price.
