I am using this device(Indian Version called Mi 10i) since last 2 days.
I disabled the Ad Perosanlization options, and Diagnostics right during the Initial setup process, uninsalled all the Junk that was present on device, changed the default Browser to Brave Browser, installed CPL launcher.
I haven't seen any ads since the last 2 days of use.
I like MIUI skin, especially for its features.
Sadly the dialer provided is the Stock Google dialer, and you know call recording on the dialer gives the prior notification announcement when starting and stopping Call record.
I hope Xiaomi provides the MIUI Dialer in the future Updates
MIUI is a nightmare XD

It isn't as bad as it used to be. With root and proper tweaks/fixes it's quite manageable.. I wouldn't use it unrooted or with all default apps though.

I don't see why people want call recording so badly? Quite creepy if you ask me.
It's regulated by law where it must say call recording is enabled hence as to why you're getting that

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.

It runs stock Android, so it looks as good as any Nexus. The camera app could look a bit better - a nicer shutter animation for example, but other than that the software looks good.

The bloatware (assurance wireless e5 Play version has all Moto, plus Sprint, plus AW apps) isn't too intrusive in itself; but the system apps partition is too big and of course updates consume space on the public partition, which gets filled quickly. My only real interest in rooting will be to move apps & updates to the system partition.
I like their version of the clock but I wish they'd let me change the weather provider to OpenWeather. I might have to change the launcher just to do that; and see if I can keep their clock while with OW that way.
Their version of Facebook seems to be the customized version also used on other "Free" phones, which brings pop-up ads to the Launcher. Disabling it and installing FB Lite app kills this. I don't know if models for regular services have unmodified Facebook apps or not.

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..

I prefer using Next Launcher 3D. (version 3.20.2) It have some quirks but after setting it up works wonders. As my average full charge sustain about 2 days this app use less than 300mАh which is just few % from the charge. And although it is really old version is stable. I prefer it more than the stock launcher because of the many custom options. The only real problem is that it doesn`t let me use just any widgets but only some of them. Still I chose to sacrifice them in the name of the overall usefulness of the launcher. And yes, I know the version is old but it`s the only one I have from backup of my previous phone and for some reason the launcher is removed from the playstore. So I work with what I have.
For main theme I use [MINU]Dark Mint from the samsung themes.
If you have the problem with borders around the icons after applying new theme and the option in menu "Display" - "Icon frames" is locked in gray, even when set up before that in mode "icons only" there is workaround. Just install new icon pack. BUT! Not everyone works, most of them just change the color of the frames. So you will have to search.
I found working ones and for icon pack I prefer [TMA] Flat Candy Icons, although "Absolute Delight" also look very well. All of them are free, again in samsung themes store.
I`m currently looking for a solution for making the sliding notifications panel black with white text. For now I have found a theme making almost what I want here, in xda forum but I`m still searching for better solution.

For people who like MIUI this is the best yet, MIUI 10 has plenty of good stuff, I hate Xiaomi for including ads everywhere but there are various ways to completely disable them . The first thing I did after getting the phone was to disable recommendations on all its native apps and in settings and after that enable USB debugging and removed all useless apps like MI Picks and Mi Video. Now its just a smooth continous and whole lot of pure MIUI.
I like the software optimasations and battery life optimisations on this phone.

To be honest I do not like it. I am not a skinned Android person. I like the stock android look, I am not a fan of my phone looking almost like it's running IOS, which it doesn't anymore but older versions of MIUI and other skinned Android version from Chinese phone makers really do look like. There is something broken with the power management, especially on MIUI 10.3.7 global. My battery life isn't awful, it's good but can be better. Android will sometimes use 75% of the battery, and just leave apps open even after you have closed out of them in recents, and this wouldn't be a problem if it was just one app, but it's all of them! I do not need or want Instagram using 9% of my battery when I have only had it open for maybe 15 minutes (I am logged into 4 Instagram accounts so that might be the cause of it using so much of my battery), Youtube sometimes uses like 20% when I check the power usage. This kind of forces me to ha seems like an issue to me. Also, I can't find other reports of this so it might just be my phone, but I have reinstalled MIUI like 5 times already so I am pretty sure this is an issue many have.

I have noticed that some of the high battery usage is being caused by the location is turned on, but this doesn't justify the crazy battery usage of apps.
Miui is nice, but needs a lot improvements in working and smoothness
