According to some Youtube videos, Mi A3 was performing poorly with gaming, as its firmware was supposedly unoptimised and full of bugs. One Youtube reviewer claimed that (I didn't bookmark the video so can't post the link) Mi A3 4/64 version was struggling to run PUBG even with Balanced setting (second from lowest), while Redmi Note 8, which has same chipset ran PUBG with Medium setting (3rd from lowest) quite well.
Now that I am planning to buy this phone, I wonder, if bugfix and optimisation updates have resolved the issues that this phone supposedly have.
In a nutshell my question is, how well can you play games on this phone right now?

PUBG runs quite well on HD settings with extreme FPS. However, I had to use GFX tools to unlock the settings. I'm on stock rom with no root.

HD setting is not available by default?
How does it perform this way: HDR graphics, Extreme FPS, Realistic mode, Anti Aliasing ON?
yesssss because from the company the SD 665 was underclocked.....therefore gaming struggles....but if we push the processor ......waaooo what a performance man...pubg play smoothly at 60fps?.....Zeroo graphically lag

Sorry if this question sounds noob-y, but how do you measure FPS on Android?

Push the processor how? Root apps? Custom ROM/Kernel?

Go to Developer Options and enable High Performance mode.
PS: battery life will suffer and phone may get hot

This is the best the device can do. Remember it is run by more than two year old SD400 processor, and just 2200mah battery. This phone is heavily optimised for smooth operations of a very average user. It will not play power hungry games properly. If gaming was your forte, you should have looked elsewhere. Sorry.

Oh that's great. However I feel you will end up pushing the device which will result in heating and battery drain.
Btw, would you recommend buying this device? I am in the market to buy a new phone. I like HTC phones. Currently using HTC One M8 Eye as my secondary phone. I need to buy a 4G phone for primary use. I am kind of between heavy user and light user. I don't play games. I thought of buying this phone cuz it looks stylish and the prices seem to have come down. I can fetch this in india for INR8300 (USD 125). My budget is under USD150.
Hi everyone,
I received the Pie update today and did some benchmarks for fun.
Turns out the results are much lower than the registered ones on the websites for Mate 10 Pro with Oreo.
My device:
Mate 10 Pro 9.0.0.161 C432E4R1P11
Tested with latest versions of Geekbench and Antutu from Google Play Store.
Geekbench on Pie, my device
Single Core 1787
Multi Core 5446
Geekbench on Oreo, website
Single Core 1902
Multi Core 6673
Antutu on Pie, my device
139803 (for example Mate 20 Lite scores 138890)
Antutu on Oreo, website
209042
A friend of mine also got the update today and reaches slightly higher scores in Geekbench.
I did some benchmarks in the past and remember I didn`t really reach the high numbers on the websites but it wasn`t that far away, so no big deal.
But now it looks weird. I guess some compatibilty issues might need a fix or the apps are just not updated.
Would be nice if you could also check if you encounter the same "problems"
Thank you
I'm not on Pie, but I heard they have performance mode disabled by default now.
Also, they used to artificially boost benchmark scores by running the processor higher than normal when it detects a benchmarking app. Did they fix it in Pie?
They cheated.
You have to activate the performance mode on pie
Thx for the info guys, much appreciated. I activated performance mode and results are even slightly better than on the websites.

Do you can tell us how to activate performance mode ? Is the performance in games much better as in emui 8?
Please install for test Shadowgun legends and put settings on ultra and 60 FPS and tell me if it's smooth if yes it's awesome because in emui 8 it was always lagging
Performance mode is located in battery options and there are two modes more - power saving and ultra power saving mode. AppAsisistant is also new and this is one more option to get a better performance by activating game acceleration mode.

Game is not playable at those settings, sry. Doesnt reach 60 fps and has heavy lags when explosions etc. happen.

Hi does anyone here knows how to unlock the beast on Poco F1?
Like playing games that stays on 60 fps.
esp. on Mobile Legends and other heavy games.
Currently using Global Stable Miui 10.3.4
Kinda okay on games but i want to level up more my usual gaming experience.
any suggestions for custom roms, kernel and other tweak?
TIA for your answers.
I am playing Raid shadow legends and it has the 60 fps option in game, maybe the developer needs to add support in the game?
I'm also playing mobile legends, pubg on a solid 60fps. Don't know what you're talking about. Running stock rom, stock everything.
I am not a gamer but recently playing SHADOWGUN LEGENDS game and I was also having issues with low performance on Poco F1.
To enjoy game at 60fps:
1. Make sure the game support 60fps! - many games are locked at 30fps only. I guess PUBG is locked at 45fps?
2. Set the 60fps mode in supported game.
3. Play the game and see if game play is smooth as you want.
4. If not, your device is overheated and lower its performance rapidly. My Poco F1 is able to give full performance only for couple minutes, it drops down then up to 60% in some cases.
5. Get CPU Throttling Test app and let it run for 15 minutes - it automatically stops after this time.
6. I am sure you`ll see thermal throttling
7. To solve this get custom kernel, thermal profiles etc. - search on xda for it.
Keep Device cool don't charge it while playing. Mobile Legends turn on High Frame Rate it will run 60fps. for PUGB set graphics to Smooth and it will unlock Extreme settings for 60 fps. No need for custom rom or tweaks.
Well flashing Malakas kernel should do the job it is best for gaming , do check the geekbench scores after flashing the kernel if it's around 8800-9300 then I don't think you will face any problem while gaming but if the scores are still low (which was the case for me) flash PE ROM and then flash the kernel , best setup for gaming talking from personal experience
whats the best rom for gaming and battery for poco f1??

Really? I doubt that dude no offense. How long do you play? When you said "solid 60fps" do you mean no hiccups all throughout?
What's your ROM Version?

Thanks dude! I always played MLBB for about 1-3 hours daily. Kinda 7/10 on the performance.
Yes i encountered the Thermal throttling btw which is sucks it will drop your FPS around 25-29FPS, it will stays around 1-3 minutes roughly.
Yes still looking for custom roms or kernel etc.

It can be dude it can be. But how long we're talking here? I doubt that solid 60 fps without a FPS drops/hiccups once in a while esp. while playing on long hours (no offense dude).

Yup Oxygen os is also good but I never really played games while I was using Oxygen os , as far as my current gaming experience is concerned almost all of the games that i play eg. call of duty , pes 2018 run on their maximum settings without any fps drops

Thanks bro this i will try it out soon.
I am okay with the stock ROM Poco. Just make sure you turn on the high fps mode on the setting. Most game will turned off by default.
Download Google Play Services AR and make it to autostart.
Because, I installed Minecraft Earth, to play it Google Play Services AR required. Later I played other games and noticed an upgrade.
(Root required) Download GL tools from third party website (aptoide) and install. Then select your game, tick fake CPU and GPU option, use template, choose highest specs (meke the fake GPU Adreno 640) (RAM 8GB or above)
Stock kernel is the stable and best for gaming I guess.
And more.... Try using some build prop twerks (I don't know much twerks so Google it)
So I have recently got my k20 pro and joined the family. Now I have a question, how is the game performance on graphic heavy games for you? I am using the miui global and I can say I am not impressed. You might think that there shouldn't be a game that works slow on this phone but try Marvel Future Fight (yeah not everyone plays pubg) and my fps was so unstable it was even going below 30 time to time. I will now root my phone and try to change the cpu governor (as schedutil is not a good governor for performance) but I wonder if others have tested out different games and different roms with similar experience. I saw some people doing gpu overclock but I actually dont want to do that for now. And I saw a custom kernel so I wonder its performance as well.
For me the performance is quite good
Graphics heavy games? No problem at all
List of games that I've played :
- Traha
- Call Of Duty Mobile
- Perfect World
- Black Desert M
- Vainglory
All of that with maxed out graphics @60fps
ROM : xiaomi.eu
Antutu : 377k
Overclocked : -

hmm xiaomi eu might actually be better than original miui. Are you rooted btw? do you use kernel auditor?
Also thanks for reminding black desert I didn't realize it was released
Nope, im not rooted n didn't use kernel auditor
i noticed, the best so far is xiaomi. eu is the best so far

you have to disable google voice match to avoid this, and sometimes it breaks so you have to reboot but it hapens once every 3 months or so
Playing honkai impact 3 on max, 60 fps. Works without lag but the phone heats up. Global stable latest version
I'll try playing a game on Pixel Experience official if you're curious about the performance. You just have to tell me what game you want me to test.

a long time mff player here , maybe mff doesnt support 60 fps ? also i not yet tested mff on mine k20 pro , but it works ok on mine pocophone , , can stay in game on galactus without crashing
İts great to see a fellow mff player here. I also tried at galactus and I saw fps frops there time to time. (not insane drops but sometimes 30 or so) I was checking fps from game turbo and it supports 60fps

Thanks for the offer. I was able to see fps drop only on marvel future fight so far but I don't think you can test the graphic heavy game modes as you will need to start a new game

traha 60fps? for real?
I've been using Mi A3 for over a week or so. This phone is really amazing as we don't get to see much stock android phones today. But the main problem is that PUBG is locked at very low settings. We can unlock it by PUBG Gfx tools but still I feel that the processor is capable of running the game at atleast HDR Ultra.
Can we expect to get those graphic options? Because even the Mi A2 performed better in PUBG than this. Is it because the SD 665 is a new processor or is it something with the 720p display.

The problem is not the phone but the game it self...i remember back then when the game in v0.13.0 where you can get smooth/ultra settings in game but in v0.14.0, ultra setting is gone so if you want a better setup then simple give some feedback the games devs so they can add HDR/ultra in the next updates...

Yes. I've tried with gfx tool and I must say it works flawlessly. The SD 665 is really good. The CPU+GPU even outperforms the Samsung's 9611 found in M30s. I'll write to the game devs. We can just hope for the update xD
