The UI and touches have become far more smoother and responsive after this updated BUT also comes with another issue.

Multi touches/Ghost touches now VERY NOTICEABLE and screen freezes always occur and for a temporary fix you have to lock and unlock your phone. So when playing PUBG those ghost touches will mess up your aiming example when moving and aiming together suddenly your aiming aims to the sky/ground/random places with no explanation. Also the nav buttons and the middle area sometimes doesn't register any touches and this happened around 8.11.23.



8.11.15 =probably have the less multi touch/ghost touch issues but have some sort of delay around the edges/keyboard lag

8.11.23 =fixed the touch delay on edges/keyboard lag but multi touches and screen freezes is more noticeably.

8.11.29 =same issues as .23 except it's the issues is getting worser + screen flicker yay

8.12.7 =touch and UI overall is much smoother but issues from .23 and .29 is now getting out of hand and playing tap intensive games like MOBAs and drums is heavily affected. PUBG also keeps aimiing randomly at the skies/ground when aiming+moving



I wish the devs bring the touch edges delay fix back to 8.11.15 and see how it goes

I hope the next version fixes the multi touches issue and screen freezes also

Agree with every point. Plus there's lot of typing lag & freeze on Gboard now
If you're on Xiaomi forum/beta group please raise a issue with all these details.

Mine is China Variant around September batch and clean flashed 8.12.7.
Still doesn't fix the screen freezes, multitouches/ghost touches and screen flickers
But when I used 8.11.15 never had screen freezes, ghost touches error. Only touch delay lag.

I suggest your should try tapping intensive game that involve tapping on the edges like drums or sthing to check your phone.
Some people claiming it's fixed but somehow don't even know what those touch issues are.
And I'm a poco fan

As a non gamer I must say that touch seemed fine to me until flashing 8.11.29 (previously had 8.11.15).

Now the touch response seems really laggy and typing on Gboard became highly frustrating.

I've read in forums like a dozen times every week people saying that the next build fixed all touch problems, but to me, it's worse than ever.

Hope the next build fixes this, or I will just revert back to 8.11.15 until they can sort this out, assuming that the problem is not hardware without the expected quality.

2) Scrolling near edges is improved but still buggy near bezels.
3) YouTube picture-in-picture mode doesn't work in full screen gesture mode in poco launcher home screen.
4) Screen flickering in lock screen is gone but further need to be tested.
4) Icon refresh is still there when minimizing any app.
5) Back gesture now works properly when any app folder on home screen is open.
6) Tuch delay of back button of navigation Bar is gone.
7) Touch sensitive of screen is bit improved.
8) Something flower like icon is added in left bottom of lockscreen.
9) Notification icon is same it was in previous beta.
