6) Dynamic Resource Allocation

To enhance the user experience, Xiaomi has added Dynamic Resource Allocation at the kernel level. With this feature, the system will allocate more system resources to the app in the foreground and will assign lower priority to actions in the background. This will ensure that your phone doesn’t stutter for inexplicable reasons even when you are using light apps or actions and will ensure better overall performance.
