Performance issue - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

My phone performance wont reach the average score in geekbench after updating to miui 11. is this normal? Not rooted and bootloader locked. Thanks

You definitely have some issues there. This is my result on Miui 11.0.8.

you may have something working in background and consuming some power from the CPU...maybe nothing is wrong, just that. Mine are showing this score (all stock, just rooted and debloated):

Benchmark results (ANTUTU)

Hi everyone!
As we still don't have many things to do in order to speed up things in our little P8's I thought it would be interesting to compare our results to see what difference it makes to do some small changes.
Not that this is important but I thought it would be fun to see each others results.
I'm the first one
Before some root apps - 32000/33000
After some root apps - 35000/36000
Best of all - 36318!!!
Much better than I expected when I bought this phone.
Now show me what you got
Antutu test
Mine is 34500
Rooted with some stock apps disabled.
35320 mine, root and some system apps disabled

33,222 not rooted and no tweaks; didn't even reboot the phone first.
32K with stock, no roots, i am wonder if I relock the bootloader and will result unlocked if bring to services for riparation, an answer could help me to make roms, i am already working on device tree, but i need the vendors.
Good, now lets see that amazing benchmark in real life, on stupid 5.0.1 with memory leak, Google Search App lags like hell, phone sometimes freezes and stutters when hitting 760mb free RAM.....you can do heck all with your useless benchmarks, my Nexus 4 had lower benchmark but was much faster
mine 28656.... why? without root and no app or tweak installed
ALE-L21 C185B130 (rooted - bootloader locked)
Before root - not tested
After root - 28413
About 32k, Android 6.0 beta, no root or tweak
Andrei did u test on antutu 5.x ? Cause on 6.0.1 im gettin lower score due to 3d marooned test not supported. Im using 6.0 beta too. No root or tweak.
Antutu 6.0. How did you get 5.x? Mali 450 gpu does not support Marooned,indeed

OP3 vs Honor 8

I know this is not everything but damn that Honor is fast.
Wouldn't have expected that.

If you are regular user just use the phone without flashing with ROMs, e.g. my mum, please go with Honor 8 as for faster performance. However, if you playing with ROMs, then OP3 will be the right choice.
I had a mate 8(kirin 950) and a mate 2 and they were quick but emui 4.0, 4.1 has it's issues. Some apps just wouldn't run in the background correctly unless they were converted to system apps and you need root to do that. Also, almost no development. The mate 8 would get security updates.

Huawei phone was set to performance mode thus it was set to max frequency all the time. Sure, it is faster in this mode but battery life would suffer a lot of used like this.

I also thought this but by the end of the video you can see the frequency of every core in idle and they are all settle down to the idle frequency and the battery usage is the same than the one plus 3 as you can see also in the end.

I'm not sure if the performance mode works that way on emui.. Emui is a different beast.

Kirin = Mediatek = No custom rom supports
honor phones are generally good but the skin is something i cant get hang of and there is no whatsoever support for custom roms.

Low benchmark score in performance settings

I know I know benchmark is useless, it's not everything about a phone, but please benchmarking can at least assure me that everything is working according to settings and what deliver what the phone promised. I have a Mi 5 64gb and using AICP ROM. I've been benchmarking on Antutu and average around 125k but on Miui I got around 136k. I thought it must be the kernel settings so I switched governor to performance and they dropped even harder 110k in Xceed kernel, OC DragonXia i got 100k... Is this normal? I tested on Geekbench 4, but the same thing happened. What can I do about this?

I think it's the ROM. I'm using the AOSP CAF ROM with OC DragonXia kernel, and not only is performance buttery smooth but benchmarks are high. I've attached screenshots showing how the phone runs with all my apps and dual sim enabled. I have the 3GB 32GB model that has slower RAM too.
But ultimately benchmarks mean nothing. You just need to concern yourself whether you're happy with your phone's performance or not, and if not just change ROM/Kernel/Kernel settings.

Hmm... That's weird eh? Just messing with my phone around with OC Kernel so I need to know if the OC works... but yeah. Thank you for your reply!

It is, but I find most LOS based ROMs for the Mi5 have bad performance. OC works on DragonXia, my phone is up from 1.8 to 2.3GHz
I tried out your ROM yesterday but there were no phone or contact app, is it supposed to be that way?

Yes, you only install what you need. Besides, the phone and contact app is included in GAPPS, if you flashed it it should be there. Else you can just install it from the Play Store, it works just as well.

Another issue. Performance.

Hello!
I just ran an antutu benchmark on my note and the score is far too low for this phone!!
Any ideas on what's going on?
I'm on stock Oreo BTW.

If your phone was warm when you ran the test, that will effect the results.
Not used Antutu for a while but there should be an imformation tab, there you can see the battery temperature amongst other details. Try running it again when the battery is around 26-28c.
Hopefully then it will be a normal result.
Just ran Antutu and got 203k on stock Oreo.
These benchmarks are a complete waste of time. Honestly.

That actually maybe true considering Samsung uses DVFS to fake benchmarks
Also it was warm. One more thing. The benchmark was run at QHD. Does it make a difference.
Benchmarks do not reflect how the device behaves in real life, the really important thing is how your device performs in everyday circumstances or in intense scenarios

Mi9 global extremely low geekbench scores?

Hi, i just got the device 2 days ago, i was on other firmware, and i had the same issue.
I updated to the 10.2.30, but nothing changed here are the scores,
Now before you tell me benchmark don't matter, i know, but im affraid cores may not boost during real life workloads and im getting crippled snapdragon 660 instead of s855, thank.
P.S. The phone is also not faster and even slower compared to s10 exynos in tasks, this is what made me investigate.
You sure you see those numbers reflected in daily tasks? I was curious if I'd get similar results and I did in geekbench but other benchmark apps give the result we'd expect so I'm pretty sure it's just the app that's at fault.
No, not completely but the phone is not faster and even slower compared to supposedly slower 9820 based s10...sometimes chrome starts to load web woth 2 seconds delay, and apps install time is also a bit sluggish
Well when my mi 9 came in I still had the oneplus 7 pro that I wanted to return so I compared them speed wise. Could barely tell that the mi 9 was slower than the 7 pro in download+install, most of the time it was almost the same if not the same and that's down to ufs 3.0 i guess. And believe me, I'm not boasting about my mi 9, because being fast is this phones's only quality, everything else is average at best in my opinion.
Can you do geekbench and pc mark work 2.0 for me please? just let few mins between runs and close everything from the background first, thanks alot!
P.S. What FW you are using? 64 or 128GB version?
You are using geekbench 5, use geekbench 4 if you want higher score.... Nice placebo just from a score.

Not placebo, i have used geekbench because the phone was sluggish, read the OP. Can you do geekbench 5 please?
I got the same results as you, a bit lower tho

Average, actually it takes better photos and video over the OnePlus 7 pro!
To back that up look no further then the 50 plus reviews on YouTube!
Also the Mi 9 has better ultra wide and telephoto cameras.
Has wireless 20watt charging like no other does which the OnePlus has no wireless at all!
Charges faster, 1hr flat, last longer,
IR blaster although nothing major still nice to have. I use it. Especially at sports bars when you want your game! Lol
The only thing the OnePlus 7 pro truly beats the Mi 9 at is the display. Other then that the fact is the Mi 9 is even faster! Proven.
The 3.0 is only for data transfer out a USB C cable. Not to important to me overall!

My bad I will due a geekbench 5 tomorrow but geekbench is not really that good. If you want the best run the new AnTuTu 8 . Whatever to see what your getting as that test memory, CPU, GPU, and UX. Try that but the Mi 9 should do better then just about anything but a gaming phone!

My 1st result running warm and worth 5 apps loaded I will post below and more tomorrow. But it beats every registered score they have for Android and by a decent bit and that's with apps running and warm!!
Gokh is right, they changed the score multiplier in geekbench 5 it seems, it's easy to tell if you look at other phones' score, they're all in the same league.
I did the geekbench 5 on 10.2.28 EEA, 128 GB and got a similar result, a bit lower. I don't know what pcmark work 2.0 is, I typically just use antutu as it tests many things without going through the hassle of installing 6 other apps and is maintained properly.

It is very easy to start to imagine things that is not true based on a misinterpreted performance score!
Mi 9 is definitely faster then S10 exynos in use.
