Very very poor ram management

TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE IDEA OF BUYING THIS 3GB and 4GB MOBILE VARIANTS

I bought 3gb variant, and the multitasking - ram management simply sucks. Yes because the first 2 to 3 apps in the recent apps list were also refreshing while swapping between. This is worse. Its been 2 weeks and I am thinking to sell this. Bought 3gb for the time being until oneplus 6 release. But because this is much worse that I could not even bear this weak ram management till oneplus 6 release

Before selling the device, try the following setting, 1st tap on the build several times to reveal the developer option, then head to the developer option scroll all the way down and turn off memory optimization and miui optimization. That way u should have better multitasking capability

I paid a little more for a 4GB version and really ability to keep many apps in background is good.

How is indicated above MIUI optimization is a task killer to allows user to use faster some less critical apps (with minor RAM usage) and kills apps in the order from which consumption is higher.

But finally RAM optimization depends mostly in how the firmware implements this feature, some kernel correctly tweaked can help on this.

So it´s not a hardware related issue with 3GB it can runs better with some improvements in the software.

Well, I think its the fault of miui but not the device, i am using liquid remix, and I can maintain 10+ apps in 3gb variant.

What about another stats like battery life, performance. Is there a noticeable difference in favor of xiaomi.eu?

For me is the same, no more battery life, no more perfomance, no more ram.
