The impact of fonts on performance and battery
Many users are wondering if changing the font affects the speed of the Xiaomi Mi 9T. The standard fonts from the Themes store are optimized by the developers of MIUI and do not have any negative impact on the processor or battery. They use the same rendering mechanisms as the system.
The situation may be different with complex vector fonts with high detail. In theory, rendering such characters requires a little more processing power of the GPU, but on the modern Snapdragon 730 processor installed in the Mi 9T, this difference is completely invisible in everyday use.
The only noticeable effect can occur when using live or animated fonts (if supported by a particular version of the theme), which can consume additional charge.
💡
The use of static fonts from official sources does not affect the performance of the smartphone and its battery life.
