The Xperia Home Launcher is trash.... Well it's basic and usable. But very limited function and no customization. And the 21:9 split screen needs you to use Xperia Launcher to activate....
But you can always go back to Android default split screen if needed

Very close to stock. Feels like a Pixel really.

I agree with you in the part that launcher lacks more customization. But overall very clean android experience

Can't agree.
The side touch makes it so comfortable to use. The control by gesture is delicious!

I like the current launcher I just hope that with android Q they let change icons

The extra features are great. But the looks, could be better. Fix the notifications DPI please!
It is nice ! but yes the notification DPI needs really to be decreased ! it is so big.
Nice display but yes, notification DPI neeeeeeds to be decreased. My grandma could read my notifications without her glasses on. Texts are so big and inconsistent across apps and notifications. Also decrease lockscreen DPI spotify next button overlaps with album artwork.
I actually like EMUI. Skins are something I love about Android and I enjoy seeing each manufacturer's take on how things should be.
EMUI is much, much better than LG's and HTC's skin. Especially HTC. Their skin has barely changed since the one series.

The gesture control is just awesome. Also miui is beautifully animated and very feature rich

And I love colorful themes of MIUI.

Great and can easily make it look close to stock Android through the theme app.
BUT!!! it has been only like forever, that EVERYONE is asking MIUI to have an independant volume control level for the Ringtone, and the Message (notification) tone.
Why in gods name would you want to have them locked as one sound level. On most roms, you can choose to unbridge or bridge the two.

I find MIUI pretty average.
The settings menu is a bit of a mess.
The gestures are pretty good but it's hard to not launch google while trying to launch multitask or home.
I'm not really fond of MIUI colors, it honestly feels that is doesn't have a proper identity and do not feel consistent enough (the blue/white theme isn't always respected) and it lacks a real highlight color (well there is an yellow-ish orange color that can be found often but i'm not sure if this is the highlight color).
The theme app is not available in EU so I have to change region every time i want to change a theme (which is slightly annoying)
And finally i'm not a fan of the applications groups/folder the scrolling feels a bit weird (I preferred the pager like EMUI); Same for the multitasking.
One good things about those default is that they might not exist anymore soon, Xiaomi does a lot of software update and really works their UI. From the few I've seen MIUI 10 will be more consistent in it's design and will improve it's multitasking. Furthermore the 'Theme' app will probably come to EU soon.
So overall, coming from EMUI, I'm a bit disappointed. But the facts that there is a lot of improvement done by Xiaomi and that devices who are more than 4 years old (such as MI3) are still updated makes choosing MIUI a perfectly viable choice. I can't wait to see which path MIUI will take.

New interface is good, but I was looking for a fullscreen version I dont wanna see the navbar, then why not fullscreen immersive experience, as I see most of the phones even redmi offers it..
Waiting for this update.
Vanilla Android, what more can you say
Not sure about the Android 9 swipe stuff. Coming from 7.1, I am missing the app drawer icon and recent apps button. I'm sure I will get used to it, but change for change's sake is not needed.

Not sure it will come soon. In the meantime, you can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
It seems it does what you're looking for, I've been using it for the last month with no trouble.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will be trying out for sure, however with spilt pill and 6T setup in navbar by xda, I feel pretty comfortable ...
Thanks mate..

Stock android with a little biit of moto magic. Much as I get that folk like different skins from other manufacturers, I am pure vanilla android and this is a spot on phone for that.
There are a couple of pre-installed apps that you can remove such as facebook and google podcast.

Does it have the normal Android 10 gestures from pixel / other manufacturers or the ugly pill still?
I miss some things from my old phone (Huawei P9). EMUI had numbers on notifications, dual apps, themes and you could customize the navigations buttons (I use the back button on the right).

Heavily skinned stupid settings arrangement and full with bloatware like tiktok, news app (baca plus), currier apps (J&T) you name it but you can uninstall it through adb. not my forte, hoping to custom rom this phone soon
Coming from OxygenOS, I think Realme UI is not as nice, but nothing's unbearably bad either.
Settings: Takes some time to get used to the nonstandard setting. I keep forgetting where Network Permissions is located.
Fonts: A very important aspect for me. The choice of font weight with Real Choice font (Realme UI 2.0 only) is interesting. Unfortunately, that sort of lowercase "a" is instant nope. I'd be fine with the Theme Store system, even willing to throw in some dimes for a nice font, if only they actually have fonts that look nice. As it is, the Store's swamped with unusable fancy cursive and colored fonts, so I'm using zFont instead. Further down the line, maybe I'll replace the default font using adb to get proper bold system fonts.
