Xiaomi launched its new MIUI 7 which includes unique features.
Just a few days ago, Xiaomi MIUI 7 was made official in China. Aside from the new UI experience, Xiaomi has set the bar higher among Android devices with its on-demand roaming data suited for frequent travellers.
This exclusive feature allows the Xiaomi MIUI 7 user to create a virtual local SIM card based on the user's location, whereas it delivers access to mobile data "at an affordable rate," TNW reported.
The Chinese tech company said that the data roaming charges its user at about $0.02/MB. "Plus, you can whitelist apps to allow them to use data, and set a daily usage limit as well."
These feature will be supported in 36 countries including Hong Kong, Taiwan, US, Japan, UK and Australia.
In addition, Xiaomi boasts that its Android based ROM was "designed by a 750-strong R&D team and primarily includes colourful themes, including specific themes for men and women," NDTV reported.
According to IB Times, the new ROM also features battery-saving consumption, and face recognition "which identifies the people in photos taken with Xiaomi phones and groups the images together."
"A Kids Mode lets parents lock down some applications and functions before letting their child play a game on their own. A range of new gender-specific themes are also available, although we can see the blue-for-boys, pink-for-girls options not going down particularly well with some users," IB Times wrote.
Xiaomi MIUI 7 has started to roll out for the Xiaomi Mi2, Mi2S, Mi 2A, Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi Note, Redmi and Redmi Note in China, while its international release will be made available after its launch in India, according to IB Times.
TNW added that, international users must note that the data-roaming feature is exclusive in China.
At the Xiaomi MIUI 7's launch, two mid-range devices were also unveiled-the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and and Xioami Redmi Note 2 Prime.
