Xiaomi has been arrested and accused of deliberately hitting apps and games by boosting the performance of its smartphones compared to. This is similar to the controversy surrounding Samsung Game Improvement Service (GOS).
- Xiaomi attracts app and gaming performance
- Target scores were deliberately increased
- Xiaomi uses identification to deceive targets
Based on the GeekBench abbot test, the developer of JFPoole found that Xiaomi was discontinuing a handful of Android and apk games. The experiment hid the original app like the GeekBench app and got higher results than the non-hidden app, like Fortnite.

This claim is also supported Android Police who tested several cheat cases on Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12. They found that the target scores were lower than the undisputed programs and games. The results of both single-core and multi-core were found to be higher when this device was compared to a measuring device.
This feature is important for smartphones equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 but also affects other models such as Xiaomi 12X with Snapdragon 870. JFPoole and Android Police Both mentioned that Xiaomi uses device identification, which is similar to the way Samsung took to stop the performance of more than 10,000 Android apps. Only this time Xiaomi is limited to SoC type.

Why do manufacturers limit the performance of their smartphones?
There are several reasons why Xiaomi, Samsung and other manufacturers are slowing down performance. The most feasible, and yet most useful, is saving battery life. This is a valid reason as most appliances do not require extensive processing power after all.
It is completely different from games because less power reduces the gaming experience. This problem can somehow affect their preferences when buying their next smartphone if the brands do not come up with a solution.
Another possible reason is to avoid overheating issues. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC is known to emit more heat than the other and much stronger than the Snapdragon SoCs. So Xiaomi may prefer to avoid overheating complaints instead of allowing users to fully enjoy the latest smartphone.
What do you think is the performance reduction? Do you believe it is normal to limit the performance of your smartphone to extend its battery life and avoid overheating? Share your thoughts in the comments!
