According to Xiaomi’s CEO, it is a heavily modified Android and Vela (Xiaomi’s IoT OS based on the open source embedded OS Nuttx) to replace MIUI in all Xiaomi mobile, auto, and intelligent home products.
Lol typical corporation rebranding & probably with cosmetic change only.
i bet there are a few new chinese gov backdoors in it too…
Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.
I don’t think they stopped complaining so much as they still called them comcast in their complaints.
Probably need even more tightly knit ads in the OS.
I hope It will still have easy openable bootloader, so I could sideload whatever rom I want.
I wonder how many highly paid marketing executives it took to come up with that name.
I swear i’ve seen custom Android Roms with names similar back in the day lol
A 16 year old with a RGB-as-fuck PC could probably do that
