Sure but can't take over Apple smartness. It can only emulate.
Apple has come a long way to what they av on board now, it will take Android years to match up

This particular feature is great. But us Xiaomi users (Oreo update) will not be too impressed. We have been enjoying this feature on MIUI before official Android P release will roll it out. But all in all, Android P and all it's new features will be great for Android users generally.

Yes. Apple is Apple. Android is Android. No matter what they do, Android can never be Apple. Each is good in their respective lanes. But they should not cross each other for comparison. They're fundamentally different - in class, brand perception, brand loyalty, operation fluidity, second-hand value, raw value etc etc
