There are a lot of Android phone companies in the market. And everyone has their own Android UI. But if I tell you which is the best skin from the worst—Dude, the story is very interesting.
So let’s talk about the worst Android skin first.
HiOS & XOS – The Worst Android Skins
Which I would like to say HiOS, XOS. This could be Tecno’s HiOS, Infinix’s XOS, and whatever comes in a company like ITEL. Because let me tell you what’s going on—in Infinix, ITEL, Tecno—are all part of the same company. And the OS that comes in this company is exactly the same. Just the names change and go to different places.
Xiaomi HyperOS – From Hope to Disappointment
In a time, MIUI was very good. Then the reputation of MIUI fell. And after that, people revamped MIUI and brought HyperOS. A year ago, the story was looking very good. It looked like something new would come in HyperOS. But what happened? HyperOS has the same things that were in MIUI. And they made internal changes.
MagicOS – Good Features, Poor Localization
When I first ran MagicOS in Honor phones, it felt like it was taken from Huawei’s EMUI. And things were also interesting. The Magic Capsule feature was good here. The features in the cameras were good. You were getting to see AI features. You were getting to see things like Air Gesture. It was looking good.
FuntouchOS – Progress with Some Leftovers
The next UI I’m talking about is FuntouchOS, which you get to see exactly the same in Vivo and iQOO phones.
Even the name is not the same, there is no need to tell the name. Look, it’s simple—FuntouchOS used to work well here. It used to be a copy of iOS. It has improved a lot now. But still, some bloatwares can be seen—especially in budget phones, you get to see Hot Apps, Hot Games.
ColorOS, RealmeUI & OxygenOS – Same Base, Different Stories
ColorOS is Oppo, but this is the exact same OS. Oppo’s phone tells you to see Realme and OnePlus. OnePlus has OxygenOS, Realme has RealmeUI—but it’s exactly the same. The features are the same, everything is the same.
Hello UI by Motorola – A New Entry
After this, let’s talk about Motorola. Motorola recently introduced Hello UI this year. The special thing about Hello UI is that it gives a look and feel like stock Android. But this is not stock Android at all. Stock Android does not come in any phone. This is a new type of UI that is made with material theming.
Nothing OS – For the Enthusiasts
It has evolved very well. The thing with Nothing OS is that—where Nothing Phone was made before, there were a lot of bugs, problems in things—it solves all those things. This OS is totally bloatware free. You don’t get to see bloatwares. Comes with minimalistic design. Comes with dot matrix design. Its UI interface is very good. You get to see fluidity.
Samsung One UI – Premium and Polished
After this, I would like to talk about Samsung’s One UI. Samsung’s One UI is very well developed here. But there are two parts to it. The first part is that Samsung’s One UI—which comes in a cheap budget phone—there are more bloatwares. If bloatwares are reduced there, it will be a good thing.
Pixel UI – The Gold Standard
the number one Android skin—Pixel UI. If you want to call me biased, then hello—but I would like to keep the Pixel here. I think Pixel UI is very good. User interface is very good. Very minimalistic design. And the UI interface created by Pixel—the artificial intelligence features added there—are very good, which I personally liked a lot.
Conclusion
So that means this is a collection. And I made a list—who are the best Android UI here from the worst.
