POCO UI Features

Previously, the POCO F1 debuted with MIUI having a unique POCO launcher. This launcher was exclusive to the POCO F1 and was not there in Mi and Redmi smartphones. Now, when the brand returned in 2020 with new series of smartphones, the MIUI for POCO became similar to the UI for Redmi smartphones.

The only point of difference between MIUI in both brands was the unique launcher that never existed in devices other than POCO. The launcher featured different icons and the home screen interface than the MIUI.

According to recent interviews with POCO officials, the brand is planning to release a newer version of its UI. The company would be making special changes to the existing MIUI based on the feedback received from the POCO Community and through social media. The new UI will be called POCO UI.

Briefly, the POCO UI will be somewhere a clone of MIUI, very similar to the JOYUI built exclusively for Black Shark’s smartphones. For those who don’t know, Balck Shark is Xiaomi’s other sub-brand making gaming-centric phones. We can also look at realme UI, which is a tweaked version of Oppo’s ColorOS. As the company increases its global market share, POCO could develop a separate UI for its devices. And, this development will focus on making a brand new interface built from scratch.
