Google’s Pixel lineup of devices offers one of the best software experiences. There is minimal bloatware and the material design used throughout the UI is easy on the eyes. On the other hand, OEMs like Xiaomi have skins that are heavily inspired by Apple’s iOS UI.

Moreover, MIUI is now jam-packed with ads as well as bloatware that some users may not appreciate. Thankfully, in the Android world, there are often workarounds for such problems. The best out of those is to install a custom ROM.

Custom ROMs can give users a tremendous amount of customization options. Moreover, it also allows users to easily get rid of apps and services that they do not require. Speaking of which, the Pixel Experience ROM is one of the most popular custom ROMs at present.
