MIUI 10 started its internal test on June 1, but only 100000 users have used the new system. According to the announcement of the MIUI forum and the disclosure of internal insiders, the new system will begin the public beta of the development version on June 19. The first batch of models include MIX series, Xiaomi 5/6/8, Xiaomi Note 2, and Xiaomi 6X, Hongmi Note 5 and S2.
Now let's take a brief look at the new features of MIUI 10 and its speed comparison with MIUI 9. The following is the video version (shot in seconds):
Speed comparison between MIUI 10 and MIUI 9
For the new system, we are most concerned about new functions:
The most obvious change of MIUI 10 is the new notification bar, which is a bit like Android P. Now the shortcut button can turn the page. The multi task interface has become a vertical card, and the long press management function cancelled in MIUI 9 has returned.
Several apps, such as weather and clock, have changed their interfaces. They have ringing tones that claim to never repeat, and new notification control logic. While the full screen gesture can be used to drag and switch applications for a long time, making up the hole that the full screen mode cannot double click multi task switching tasks, but there is still some speed loss, even not enough iPho Ne X Moving left and right to switch between multiple tasks is faster.

Test environment: For the speed problem we are most concerned about, we use the same Xiaomi MIX 2S (8G memory+256G stored imperial version) to test in order to control variables. On the left side of the figure below is the latest development version before MIUI 10, version 5.17. On the right is the latest MIUI 10 6.13 that can be received during the test (the internal test version is basically a daily change, and the version number is 6.15 as of June 15).
In MIUI 9, the phone has been restored to factory settings. Upgrade to MIUI 10 through OTA. In the application opening test, the unified screen brightness is 200 nits, and in the game test, the screen brightness is 100 nits. At the beginning of the test, the fuselage temperature was about 27, and each system had four complete speed comparisons (the data used in the video was close to the median).
The slogan of MIUI changed from "as fast as lightning" to "faster than lightning". As a result, the opening speed of the application, It's really improved to a certain extent, but it's not so big . MIUI 10 is in the process of opening for the first time, Generally 1-2 seconds faster than the old system. On the second load, the old and new systems did not roll over. After all, it is the imperial version with 8G memory. It should not have problems in 2 or 3 years.

In terms of games, we also found that the Xiaomi MIX 2S of MIUI 9 failed to squeeze the game performance of Snapdragon 845. For this reason, we also purposely "ate the chicken" before and after the upgrade. The old system had obvious frame rate fluctuations in the scene of driving and opening the camera because of the influence of heat 10 minutes later.
The fluctuation in the new system is smaller, but under the crazy operation of the author, there will still be instant frame drop (of course, this is unfair to the new system). On the whole, the game has improved to a certain extent, but it is still far away from Xiaomi8 with new drivers and different schedules. Users who need to squeeze the performance of the game have to adjust their own. The most obvious thing about the new and old systems is that the CPU and memory consumption of the new system are lower.
For old machines that cannot be upgraded until late July, the issue of whether to upgrade MIUI 10 should be considered according to the actual situation at that time. Many AI features of the new system are still unknown whether the old SoC can run, how efficient it is, and how fast it will last as a whole.
But for this year's new phones, MIUI 10 seems to be a must. After all, it will not negatively optimize the old machines like iOS 11 before. In fact, the speed of the same mobile phone has also improved to a certain extent. And the enhanced voice assistant, new full screen operation, multi task and notification bar really need to be better used. "You can't rise to lose, you can't rise to be fooled", that's what I said.
