Xiaomi devices have been boasting very high performance in recent years. Among cheap phones, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 shines, while in the upper mid-range segment, the new Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 are now breaking records. Ultra. And even the Xiaomi 17 or Xiaomi 15T models leave the competition far behind. How is it possible that Xiaomi achieves such high ratings in benchmarks? There is a trick to it. And we will tell you.
For the sake of interest, let us note that the new Poco F8 Ultra achieved record scores in AnTuTu 3,9 million points. That's a rating that most manufacturers wouldn't even dream of. It's powered by the most modern chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is very powerful in itself, but other phones with this processor achieve lower results in tests. So it is clear that Xiaomi He knows a way to break the performance rankings. And it's a good idea to know this method.
The key is the HyperOS superstructure, so today HyperOS 3, which in itself can increase the current performance of Xiaomi mobile phones. Smartphones Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco It runs on a multi-layered power management model. This means that the system constantly evaluates and balances power, thermal limits, and background services. This optimizes both device life and heat generation, ensuring maximal quality of user experience.
This makes benchmark performance results much more predictable than those of other mobile phone manufacturers. In addition, you will find a setting on the phone that allows you to remove standard performance limitations, increase CPU boost time and increase temperature limit. Just go to your Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco to Settings and then to the item Battery. Here you will find Performance mode, which will send the performance sky high. However, it is recommended to turn it off again when you don't need it.

Another secret weapon of Xiaomi to achieve high performance ratings is Game Turbo. This improves CPU affinity, optimizes touch refresh rates, and reduces latency. And then there's Joyous, which is an internal Xiaomi service designed to manage temperature and performance. It is a safety layer that prevents overheating. If the phone overheats, Joyose will limit FPS, reduce CPU frequencies, and reduce display brightness. But you can turn it off. deactivate and operate on maximum. Again, this is recommended only temporarily, as otherwise the system will become unstable.
Last but not least, it can help increase performance Memory Extensions, i.e. the option where part of the ROM is converted to virtual RAM. To make matters worse, you can disable it in the developer settings 4 more system settings, which will then increase performance even more. However, it is not recommended to do this unless you are very familiar with mobiles. These are the options:
- Disable 4x MSAA (prevents unnecessary GPU load)
- Background Process Limit/No Background Processes (ensures full CPU availability)
- Disable animation scales (will slightly improve the UX of the benchmark modules)
- Disable logger buffer (reduces CPU interrupts caused by logging events)
These tricks can give you performance that others can't even imagine. It's especially useful in games, which Poco specializes in. And even though you may never use these settings in practice, at least now you know why Xiaomi's benchmarks are so high.
