If we talk about the best budget smartphones in India, without any doubt, it will be Xiaomi leading the list. Xiaomi is known for its good offerings at an affordable price. If you have been using Xiaomi smartphone for a while, then you might know that ‘MIUI’ is much more than a mere skin that themes Android.
Xiaomi’s MIUI has introduced lots of framework-level changes to the Android operating system, changing the way the OS looks and functions. If you have been using Xiaomi smartphone, then the chances are that you’ve seen a bunch of ads popping out from every corner.
