Key features:
- Flutter for standard UI rendering
- Rust for secure and fast core code
- Modular apps that update independently
- Better stability on all devices
Small improvements are made to flagship phones. Large speed increases are seen in low-cost phones. Xiaomi resolves outdated code issues. The most stable experience in Xiaomi history is what it promises.
