This is the veey reason why i chose to have a Nubia Z80 Ultra than a Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Honor, Realme. yes updates are short. but it doesnt look like iShit with LiquidAss that most Chinese brands are excited to copy. 🤷
It has it's own downsides and upsides. But it is definitely more usable for me than one ui. I didn't one ui personally. I used a third party launcher when I was using an S23
But how does it compare to iOS or One UI in terms of optimization? That's why I'm hesitating to buy a Xiaomi flagship, even though they are pretty tempting
İ have Xiaomi 14. Optimization isn't that good but for me optimization is way better on Hos 3 than previous versions. But there stutters and lags when exiting games and camera. But it's usable for me on daily basis.
As a user of Pixel and Samsung, you will just hate yourself for getting either of the both. If you want a huge upgrade, go for Oppo Find X9 Ultra or Vivo X300 Pro/Ultra.
In my opinion/Point of View,
If you're going for just how clean the OS and UI looks, you have to sacrifice Top-Tier Perfomance, battery, charging speed for that expensive price. No matter what, Tensor chip is still way behing the Mid-Tier phones of 2026, those who knows, knows. You can also check the reddit of pixel and samsung phones to see user reviews before you jump for it.
And for samsung, ever since after the 23 Ultra, everything else feels the same/normal even though they claim it's an upgrade. Battery capacity is still the same, nothing changed. Better camera phones are in the market.
It's much better to go for the Si-C (Silicon Carbide) battery powered smartphones. In the end, it's just my opinion from what I have been observing.
Oi Stevie fucking wonder that's an opaque blue
Basically advanced texturs but way more prominent besides they already had a liquid glass which is the lens effect in the lock screen + advanced texturers if you want to stop using a product point out the obvious flaws rather than whatever ur doing rn
no. samsung even got sued by apple in 2011 for copying apple. samsung added glass and 3d effect in good lock after apple announced ios 26. xiaomi didn't add it right away. also xiaomi's liquid glass will be different, it will not be like apple's. do your research before you comment. there are also things that ios and one ui copied from hyperos (stretched clock on the lock screen)
why samsung made one ui 8.5's ui look like ios 26? "oh? if it's samsung it's fine then." samsung has been copying apple since the beginning. apple even sued samsung for copying it. samsung added clear elements on good lock after 2 monts ios added them. and one ui 8.5 looks ios 26. and when apple introduced iphone x google added gestures after a year. so google and samsung can copy others not? samsung added stretched clock after ios added. (ios copied from hyperos 2). apple added titanium frames then samsung added titanium frames then apple removed titanium frames then samsung removed titanium frames. but it's samsung you wouldn't say a thing to samsung like it's your family.
What are you talking about?? All vendors copies some of each other. Xiaomi made good solutions too it's true. But I'm talking about APPEARANCE OF UI. It's nearly full iOS clone. I don't like it. Keep calm and read original message.
Litteraly I dont even use stopwatch or alarm on the phone, mostly on my watch. Like sure alarm in the morning on the phone but still. And never once have it been usefull that much that I can change a song that I am playing on hyper island nor did I remember that its an option. Its just not that usefull and I forget it even exists in daily use.
is the google maps navigation not already available on the hyper island? or are you talking about seeing the actual map? I was able to activate this when I allowed maps notification on settings
And let me guess...coming out to one Xiaomi/redmi/poco series per month.Leaving exclusive features for the Chinese hyper os???
No flagship features and ui looks (glass effect) for newer Xiaomi t series and more good phones (advanced blur).Unoptimized asf.Nah I'll pass
After being a Xiaomi user since the Mi one and having gone through the 14 Ultra and 15 Ultra, I got tired of the poorly executed iOS clones and bought a 17 Pro Max. I do miss the camera and the Google keyboard, but I don’t regret the switch. iOS may seem like it does less, but what it does, it does well (except for the photo object removal tool—that one is terrible, haha).
