Xiaomi is working on a new shell, completely unlike MIUI, but similar to Windows Phone

It can find applications in the company’s flexible smartphones.

Xiaomi has long been one of the ten largest players in the smartphone market, and it is unlikely that anything will change in the foreseeable future. However, not everyone knows that Xiaomi started not with smartphones, but with the MIUI shell. MIUI was launched back in 2010, and at that time it was quite original.

It is difficult to imagine that Xiaomi abandoned MIUI in favour of something else, or radically changed its appearance. However, the company at least is working on a shell made in a completely different design. This is indicated by a patent found on the Web.

As you can see, this interface is based on a tile concept similar to Windows Phone. It is reported that the size and position of the tiles can be customized. At the same time, a very important element in the images is not the interface itself, but the outlines of the smartphone on which this interface is supposedly running.

This is clearly a sketch of the Mi Mix Alpha model, which means that the interface from the patents can still appear on this device and, for example, on the upcoming flexible Xiaomi smartphones. It is unlikely as the main one, but in the form of an additional or alternative one – completely.
