MIUI (pronounced mee-yoo-eye) was a mobile operating system by Xiaomi for its smartphones and devices, from 2010 to 2023.[2][3][4] MIUI was based on the Android Open Source Project.

There are different versions for each Xiaomi phone model. Xiaomi have also released a few devices using Google's Android One instead of MIUI.[5][6]

Xiaomi is replacing MIUI with its new Android operating system named HyperOS, which was made with the Xiaomi 14 series.[7][8][9]
