What are users expecting?

Interestingly, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun conducted a survey on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo asking users what features they want in MIUI 13, and most users seem to emphasize the fact that the new MIUI 13 should be bug-free. Xiaomi phones and their earlier MIUI versions have always been ridiculed for random bugs and it seems like users want Xiaomi to improve their software to the highest possible level.
