Speed up Xiaomi devices – make cheap devices fast
There are much more entry-level cellphones than flagships on the market. Because of the low-end specifications of these cellphones, it is highly typical for them to have poor speeds. Even tiny apps can cause the smartphone to hang on low-end hardware. Furthermore, many web pages may take a long time to load. If you have a Xiaomi entry-level smartphone, though, you’re in luck. There are a few basic things you can do to boost the speed of your smartphone. Xiaomi’s most popular smartphones are entry-level models. As a result, they come with insufficient hardware, which may cause them to slow while under strain. You can make the MIUI UI run faster and prevent these smartphones from hanging or freezing.
Boost MIUI speed
1. Extend your memory
Xiaomi, a Chinese company, has added a feature to its devices that may be of assistance. This is where the RAM expansion feature comes in. This capability has been available for the company’s smartphones since last year. This feature frees up RAM by using internal storage to create SWAP storage space. If you can activate this option, you’ll be able to boost the MIUI system’s speed. Although it is not as fast as physical RAM, it is a significant improvement.
2. Clean cache
Whethere its a smartphone, tablet or even a desktop, clearing cache is very good for operation. When the cache storage is too heavy, it could cause the device to lag. The rate at which your cache storage fills up depends on how you use your device. With the automatic cache clearing feature, it is now very easy to clear cache. You no longer need to clear the cache via recovery mode.
Xiaomi MIUI automatic cache cleaning feature ensures that your cache is always clear. Whenever you lock your smartphone screen, this feature clears the cache. Furthermore, you can manually set this feature to clear the cache at intervals. Thus, whether your hardware is insufficient, clearing the cache will ensure that all its limited resources are spent on relevant operations.
3. Disable system apps and ads
You may have noticed that the MIUI system app has in-built advertisements when you run it. It’s vital to realize that these adverts consume some hardware resources. This means that it has the potential to slow down the smartphone. They can create delays in the opening of some functionalities since they require system resources. Xiaomi makes it optional to see these advertising because they might be quite unpleasant.
You may quickly disable advertising that you don’t want to see, and they won’t appear again. All you need to do is set up a private DNS server. In the private DNS provider, type “dns.adguard.com.” Then, just to be sure, look to see if these adverts are still visible. This will free up some hardware resources while also speeding up the MIUI system.
4. Disable system animations
This solution is compatible with any smartphone operating system. For entry-level cellphones, some functions are a great luxury. One of these features is system animation. Deactivating this feature is a common technique for making the operating system run faster. Make certain that the animation scales are set to 0 or 0.5. These animations will be faster than before, and MIUI itself will speed up.
5. Keep the storage clean
Obviously, filling your storage with “crap” is a recipe for disaster. This is because the storage capacity of your smartphone has a big impact on its use. This is also not unique to MIUI devices, but rather to all gadgets.
The pace of the smartphone slows down when the internal storage is full. You may notice minor latency and the device freezing at this stage. This can be avoided by keeping storage as basic as possible.

Six days after Android 17’s stable rollout began on June 16, a growing number of Pixel owners are dealing with a touchscreen bug that makes their devices genuinely unreliable. Swipes invert direction, taps either fail to register or fire multiple times, and screens go briefly unresponsive before recovering. Google has confirmed the bug and says […]
Motorola Quick Launch lets users double-tap the back of the phone to trigger a custom action without touching the screen. According to AT&T’s support documentation for the Razr+ 2025, when Quick Launch is enabled, that double-tap can perform actions like taking a screenshot or returning to the home screen. That specific wording — “certain options […]
If a Samsung phone occasionally shows a small flashing dot – or several – on the display, the proximity sensor is almost certainly the cause. These dots typically appear near the top center of the screen and become most visible during phone calls, when the under-display sensor is actively working. It’s worth distinguishing these from […]
Samsung builds the Galaxy Watch on the assumption that most people want some level of health and fitness tracking. That may be true for many users – but even if it describes you, there are several health settings running in the background that you might never actually check. If that data isn’t being used, there’s […]
Portable tech exists on a spectrum. A desktop setup stays home. A laptop travels. A phone handles the street-level stuff. And when even pulling out a phone to skip a song feels like too much effort, a smartwatch steps in. It’s the layer of tech that lives on your wrist, always available without the friction. […]
Before USB-C came along in 2014, smartphones relied on mini USB, micro USB, or Apple’s proprietary Lightning port. Android devices made the switch to USB-C early on — the Nokia N1 tablet was one of the first devices to feature the reversible connector — and Apple eventually followed suit, dropping Lightning with the iPhone 15 […]
