MIUI 8 & ampMIUI 9 speed comparison

Not long ago, Xiaomi officially released a brand new MIUI 9 system. Xiaomi officially called MIUI 9? Lightning system? The main reason is that MIUI 9 is better than MIUI 8. Quick? Yes I also brushed MIUI 9 for Xiaomi 6 in my hand for the first time, so how fast is Xiaomi's brand-new system? Next, let me show you!

MIUI 8 & ampMIUI 9 is as fast as lightning, not blown out!

Part 1. Starting speed &; Start memory comparison

We chose two high-end versions of Xiaomi 6 as the comparison object, one of which was redrawn to the latest development version of MIUI 8, and the other was the latest beta version of MIUI 9. After clearing all the data in the two mobile phones, we installed eight commonly used softwares, namely the glory of the king, WeChat, Chrome browser, Baidu Post Bar, JD.COM, Tmall, Taobao and Netease Cloud Music.

Let's compare the boot speed of MIUI 8 and MIUI 9 and the remaining memory when booting.

In terms of boot speed, MIUI 9 is much faster than MIUI 8, and the loading time of MIUI 9 desktop is almost negligible when the lock screen is turned on for the first time after booting.

Not only the boot speed and the desktop loading speed when entering the system for the first time, but also the boot memory of the two phones is very different. MIUI 9 has about 0.2G more memory than MIUI 8 when it is turned on.

Then, why does MIUI 9 have advantages over MIUI 8 in boot speed, boot desktop loading speed and boot memory?

I think this has a lot to do with Xiaomi's greatly simplified functions of MIUI system. On MIUI 9, Xiaomi streamlined and optimized more than 50 functions. Some functions that are not commonly used at ordinary times, such as cloud business card and ***WiFi function of Maiwai Emperor Palace, have been cancelled directly, and Xiaomi Yellow Pages and desktop editing functions have also been greatly streamlined. Without the loading of these functions, the boot speed, boot system loading speed and boot memory of MIUI 9 will naturally improve.

The second part. Comparison of application loading speed

In our experience, the speed of application loading is the most influential factor. In the part of application loading speed comparison, we compare the loading speed of MIUI system application and the application we installed when we just started.

Here we take the representative work the glory of the king as an example to see the speed difference between MIUI9 and MIUI8:

And after a round of application opening, we also found that there is a big gap between the remaining memory of the two phones:

MIUI 9 has 2.7G of memory left when more than 10 applications are opened. At this time, the remaining memory of MIUI 8 is only 2G, and the gap is very obvious.

So, why is MIUI 9 so different from MIU I8 in application loading speed and remaining memory?

MIUI9 means that all applications have faster startup speed, largely because MIUI 9 has made system-level application startup acceleration optimization, not only for system applications, but also for third-party applications and games.

Moreover, MIUI 9 also optimizes the allocation of memory, which can allocate CPU computing resources, I/O resources, memory resources, network bandwidth resources and so on. Smarter, and avoid the problems of stuck and slow speed caused by applications competing for resources.

MIUI 9 also adds the technology of continuous memory arrangement, which can better manage the memory occupation of background applications. On the one hand, it can prevent the stuck problem caused by too many startup applications and too much memory occupation, on the other hand, it can also avoid the problem of excessive power consumption when background applications run.

The third part. Transition animation comparison

MIUI 9 also brings us a more natural and visual transition animation effect. Looks lighter and more agile.

MIUI 8 & ampMIUI 9 speed comparison: as fast as lightning is not blown out!

In fact, not only the transition animation, but also some desktop icons have been dynamically processed, and the icons such as settings, phone numbers and weather have been designed more vividly. Even for third-party applications such as WeChat, the theme of MIUI 9 itself has been adapted to dynamic icons. When exiting the application? Blink? The effect is amazing.

Summary:

You know, in terms of fluency, Xiaomi 6' s original performance is already excellent, and with the blessing of MIUI 9, Xiaomi 6 can run faster, which means MIUI 9? Lightning system? The title of is not an empty name.

Personally, MIUI 9 may be more meaningful for Xiaomi/Red Rice mobile phones with average performance. After all, Xiaomi 6 itself is fast enough, and Xiaomi 5, even the Redmi model, will probably have more room for improvement when running MIUI9. This kind of MIUI 9 is really hard not to expect!

What are the new features of MIUI 9? Due to the limited space of the press conference, in addition to the three new functions of portal, photo search and information assistant mentioned at the press conference, MIUI 9 believes that many hidden new functions and new designs have been found in the rice noodles that have experienced MIUI 9 for the first time.

New changes in MIUI 9 that were not mentioned at the press conference.

1, split screen

MIUI 9 provides an easy-to-use split-screen function, and your work efficiency is further improved.

You can use two applications at the same time on a mobile phone screen, and you can adjust the relative window sizes of the two applications. Among them, the application of the upper screen is the main application, and the application of the lower screen is the auxiliary application. In the process of split screen, opening any new application will replace the auxiliary application, and the main application will remain unchanged.

Support split-screen applications

At present, applications that support split screen include but are not limited to: most MIUI system applications, WeChat, Weibo, Taobao, iQiyi, Tencent Video, Youku, Bili Bili, Tencent News, Gaode Map, QQ Music, mobile phone Baidu, Meituan, WPS, Zhihu and QQ mailbox.

Because MIUI split screen is compatible with Android N split screen, with more and more developers supporting Android split screen, more and more applications will support MIUI split screen in the future.

2. Desktop editing

Next, we will open more internal testing places and invite more third-party application developers to participate in internal testing.

10, streamlining functions

In the past seven years, with the continuous iteration of MIUI (it has been updated for 342 weeks), some services, functions and modules can't adapt to the changes of users' needs, so they need to be moderately streamlined and optimized to avoid making the system bloated and affecting the user experience.
