How to Improve the Performance and Speed of MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Phones

The arrival of MIUI 12 to Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco phones allows us even more customization options, important changes in the system and many adjustments. All this is always welcome, although what worries us most is that MIUI 12 is fast on our Xiaomi mobile . This is not always possible as standard and we have to be the ones to modify settings to achieve it.

It does not matter if you have a low-end or mid-range mobile, in either case you will be able to take advantage of the tricks to improve speed in Xiaomi . Surely on some occasions you have noticed lag or delays and that is what we will be able to eliminate completely once we get down to work with MIUI 12, thus taking advantage of its many possibilities.

Reduce animations in MIUI 12

The easiest way to get MIUI 12 faster is to limit system animations. By default it can be too slow and our experience will continue here to be much worse. To solve this we will only have to do the following:

  • We access Settings> About the phone.
  • Now we repeatedly tap on the MIUI version until the developer options are activated.
  • Next we go to Settings> Additional settings> Developer options.
  • Inside we will have to look for the sections “Animation level”.
  • We touch on the three there are and reduce it to 0.5.

Just by doing this we can see how the mobile now seems much faster and does not have to load with slow animations. This trick manages to fool the eye and give us a feeling of greater fluidity.

The fluency problems of the Xiaomi launcher

When updating from MIUI 11 to MIUI 12, the system retains data in the cache that is not necessary and causes annoying lag in some users. This can be fixed very quickly and allows us to improve the speed in Xiaomi significantly.

All we have to do is go into Settings> Applications> Installed applications and look for the System Launcher. Just by entering it and clearing the cache data as we show you, the mobile will speed up its performance in menus, multitasking and even when opening applications.

Clear the cache automatically

One of the reasons that prevent our mobile from going faster is the storage of applications and terminal files in the cache, but we have an option to solve it. To speed up MIUI 12 on mobile phones, we just have to follow the steps that we show you below and you will see for yourself how things change:

  • We start by accessing the mobile Settings.
  • We go to the battery section.
  • We play on the upper wheel.
  • In its options we choose “Clear the cache when the device is locked”.
  • And we choose at least 30 minutes.

So every time we are not using our mobile, it will be ready and optimized for when we pick it up again.

Clean your Xiaomi to gain speed

With the day to day we accumulate cache files, images and other content that we do not need at all, this is something that Xiaomi knows very well and its effects on mobile speed . For this reason, it offers us within the security application several essential options to get the best out of the smartphone.
