In our daily use of smartphones, the settings of the operating system can greatly affect our user experience. HyperOS (MIUI), as the heart of Xiaomi phones, provides numerous setting options to optimize and personalize the performance of the phone. This article will introduce five simple yet effective settings to make your phone run more efficiently and easier to use. Whether you are a power user pursuing ultimate performance or just looking to simplify your daily phone use, these settings will significantly improve your phone usage experience.

Introduction

The methods introduced in this article are mainly applicable to MIUI 13 and above versions or HyperOS systems. Due to differences in settings among different device models, please adjust according to actual circumstances. If you cannot find a certain option in the settings menu, you can try using keywords to search in the settings.

Set Screen Refresh Rate

Open Settings >> Display & Brightness >> Screen Refresh Rate, set the refresh rate to the highest available. Setting the highest screen refresh rate can make screen animations smoother, reduce screen tearing and lag, and make the experience more immersive and comfortable.

Although increasing the refresh rate will increase battery consumption, phones are purchased for use. Not fully utilizing the device's high performance for the sake of enjoying a more comfortable visual experience is actually a waste.

Disable Ads

HyperOS (MIUI) comes with a large number of built-in ads, including but not limited to "Security, Mi Credit, Calendar, Mi Store, Default Browser," etc., which can be disabled using the following method.

Open Settings >> Search for "Ads", and disable all the ad settings options that are found.

If some system apps, such as Security, Mi Credit, still display ads, there is usually a separate setting to be found and disabled.

Show Network Speed

Open Settings >> Notifications & Status Bar, find Show real-time network speed and enable it. Once enabled, the real-time network speed information will be displayed at the top right, making it convenient to check the phone's network speed status.

Show Memory Information

Open Settings >> Home Screen, scroll to the bottom, find Recent Tasks Style, and enable Show memory information. This way, when swiping up to open the task window, you can view the total memory and available memory sizes on the phone, making it easy to monitor the phone's memory usage status.

Uninstall Third-Party Apps

New Xiaomi phones come with a large number of pre-installed third-party apps, such as Weibo, TikTok, Toutiao, etc. You can uninstall third-party apps that you don't need, as long as they are apps that the system allows to be uninstalled. Uninstalling them can make the phone desktop cleaner and free up more storage space.

Conclusion

These are the five settings that can significantly enhance your experience with MIUI/HyperOS systems. Hopefully, these settings will help your phone run more smoothly and be more comfortable to use. Of course, every user's habits and needs are different, and there may be other useful tips to further optimize your device.
