Is the OS Android based? This might actually be Google's fault, because this year (if not rolling out already) they are trying to move Android toward becoming a walled garden by seriously complicating third-party APK installation. Supposedly there will be like a 12 step annoying process that we will have to go through to install stuff with F-Droid for example

Xiaomi has their own version of Android called MIUI that is hacked to look just like Apple. It's getting further away from stock Android, whatever that is.
