Xiaomi, which makes fully customised MIUI software from Android mobile OS source code, is reportedly working with Google to offer pure Android experience in the recently announced Mi 5X.

Will Xiaomi Mi 5X Android One version come to India?

If we wind back the clock to September 2014, Google announced the Android One and that too in India, as the company believed the subcontinent to be the big driver of Android smartphone sales after developed markets like US and Europe began to show signs to saturation. Today, India is the second biggest and also the fastest-growing smartphone market in the world. So, it's logical for Google and Xiaomi, which by the way is outpacing rivals by big margin in terms of market share, to launch the Android One version of the Mi 5X.
