POCO was born in India to later expand to other countries, such as Europe, where it now pours the vast majority of its international catalog. The company began its efforts by customizing Xiaomi’s MIUI in some way with a version called ‘MIUI for POCO’ which has since differentiated itself, as its name suggests, “little” from its matrix, although It looks like changes are coming.
In statements from POCO’s CEO exclusively for XDA Developers, Kevin Qiu confirmed that the company is on the table to make some adjustments to the proprietary layer that covers its Android phones. And one of the future adjustments concerns subtract the diaper weight for the cheapest models in the catalog
A lighter MIUI for the cheapest POCO
Usually, and with few exceptions, the presence of layers of personalization imposes an additional load on the resources of Android mobile phones. It is software that covers Android itself and although it usually brings benefits in the form of additional (often exclusive) functions, the truth is that it forces to use more power and memory in its execution.
This is not a problem for the most powerful phones, but it is for the cheapest ones, the ones with the most power, and MIUI is not among the most user-friendly layers when it comes to profile phones low. Therefore in POCO they plan to modify their owner layer to “deflate it” and adapt it to mobile phones with less resources

The signature, in the mouth of Kevin Qiu, did not provide details
POCO confirms that the original POCO Launcher was introduced back then to try “to try something new” and has continued to evolve since the big 2.0 improvement that arrived in 2020. It looks like ‘MIUI for POCO’ is preparing a kind of revolution for the next big update, and that will benefit cheaper models. We will be watching to see what they present next.
