Xiaomi is testing MIUI Pure Mode – extra protection from installing malicious apps 
Xiaomi has always treated MIUI with plenty of respect, care and attention, as technically its first and still one of its most successful products.

MIUI 13 is also right around the corner, slated for a late June release and Xiaomi also recently invested in something called a Pioneer Team, specifically tasked with gathering and addressing MIUI user feedback.

Aside from just having a large sensor, the GFX50S II also has…

Qualcomm’s current top-dog chipset – the Snapdragon 888+ is only a few weeks old at this point. It is essentially a Snapdragon 888 with a slightly overclocked prime core.
