The new version of MIUI comes with the purpose of optimizing the user experience with the software, as well as seeking to optimize the features of the phone for the sake of the battery. Static changes have taken a backseat in MIUI 7, except for the presence of the device's new native themes: Ros, Pink Blush, Ocean Breeze and High Life. In addition to the four new themes, Xiaomi has inserted a new font size that may not exactly benefit the readability of the information displayed on the device screen.
