At the MIUI 7 global launch event, Xiaomi announced a new feature for the ROM called Data Saver, made in collaboration with Opera. The feature compressed image and video data, with Xiaomi touting a reduction in data usage by as much as 50 percent.
Opera Max — the underlying compression technology that will power the Data Saver feature — has been implemented in China last year, and now Xiaomi is bringing the feature to all international markets. The feature will be available system-wide, allowing you to save data when using apps such as YouTube, Instagram, Line, Facebook and more.
The feature is particularly useful in countries like India, where data charges tend to be priced significantly higher than voice tariffs.

Xiaomi teams up with Opera to bring data savings to MIUI 7
I heard Opra licensed the compression algorithm from another company that stole the technology from a third company. It uses some sort of revolutionary “middle-out” algorithm to achieve better than a 5.2 Weissman score.
So, Opera is actually Pied Piper?
Mind = blown
Ugg.
I know miui has a decent following but it absolutely the worst IMHO

My MiPad with MIUI6 outperforms almost every other Android tablet there is. The Shield tablet may outperform it, but that would be the only one. And I can go a week without needing to charge it. MIUI is incredibly efficient and looks pretty nice to boot. Saying you would take a worse operating system just because you don't like the look of MIUI makes you pretty shallow.... IMHO ;)

At what point did I mention the look?
There was absolutely nothing that I liked from the iPhone knock off interface that miui has.
Nothing.

Agree. I dislike the look as I find the icons to be too damn big and without an app drawer, it looks like a cluttered mess.
My dad uses a Chinese import RedMI Note. Obviously doesn't work with US LTE bands, but it runs MIUI 6 based on Android KK.
Disliked the stock look, no matter how many times I tried. Ditched it for Nova Prime and it's a lot better.
