Mobile versions of Genshin Impact with each update become more demanding to the hardware, and even powerful flagships sometimes can not cope with a stable frame rate. Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones often face micro-freezes, overheating and sudden falls of FPS during moments of active combat or when switching characters. Optimizing the system in the shell of MIUI or HyperOS allows you to squeeze the maximum out of the device, but standard game settings for this are often not enough.
The problem lies in aggressive energy saving and background processes that choke resource-intensive applications. To speed up Genshin, you need to take a comprehensive approach to the question of how to properly adjust in-game settings to deeply modify system files through an engineering menu. In this guide, we will discuss safe and advanced methods that actually work on current versions of Android.
Before you start any manipulation, make sure your smartphone has at least 4 GB of free RAM and 10 GB of free space on the internal drive. It is critical to understand that lowering the resolution of rendering gives you a greater increase in FPS than just reducing the quality of textures. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to turn your gadget into a portable console for Paymondia.
Basic graphics setting inside the game
The first thing to start fighting for every frame is the built-in graphics settings of the Genshin Impact itself. Many users mistakenly believe that setting maximum parameters on average devices will improve the picture, but in fact it leads to trottling of the processor. You need to find a balance between visual quality and performance.
Go to the game settings menu and go to the Graphics tab, where you manually set the following settings to achieve maximum smoothness. Note that some options may be called differently depending on the translation version, but the essence remains the same.
- 🎮 Display mode: Choose Full Screen for better coverage, but if the battery goes down too fast, try window mode with frequency fixation.
- 📉 Rendering resolution: set 0.6 or 0.8 is the most effective way to raise the FPS weak-wielding.
- 🌫️ Post-processing and shadows: be sure to turn off or put on Low, as these effects are most stressful GPU.
- 🌊 Volume fog and reflections: Turn them off completely, they create extra load when exploring open locations like Li Yue.
After you set the settings, the game will ask you to reboot the resources. Agree and wait for the process to be completed. If you notice that the phone is still warming, try also lowering the frame rate to 30 to stabilize the processor and avoid sharp temperature spikes.
Use of Game Turbo and Game Mode
The MIUI shell and the new HyperOS are equipped with a powerful tool for gamers called Game Turbo. It is not just a launcher, but a system utility that redistributes CPU and RAM resources in favor of running a game. The correct configuration of this module can give performance gains of up to 15-20%.
To activate advanced features, look for the Security app (green shield icon), scroll down to the Game Accelerate or Game Turbo section. Here you need to add Genshin Impact to the list if it is not there, and click on the settings gear next to the game icon.
Inside the profile settings menu for Genshin, perform the following actions:
- 🚀 Performance: Select the “Maximum Performance” or “No Limits” mode to keep the system from resetting frequencies CPU.
- 📶 Network: Enable network connection priority to reduce ping during co-op.
- 🔔 Notifications: Activate blocking of pop-ups and calls so they don’t interrupt the rendering of the frame.
Also in the Game Turbo sidebar (called by swipe from the corner of the screen during the game), there is a memory slider. Before starting a heavy scene in the game, you can press the memory clean button and twist the slider to maximum to free up the RAM.
Setting up developer parameters for Android
Deeper optimization will require access to hidden Android settings. Enable developer mode by going to Settings → About Phone and quickly tapping 7 times on MIUI Version.
In this section, we're interested in animation and background settings, and changing those settings makes the interface more responsive and frees up resources for the game, and be careful not to change values that you're not sure about, so you don't disrupt the system.
☑️ Developer settings for gaming
Find and change the following parameters:
- The scale of the animation of the windows, transitions and duration of the animator: set the value "0.5x" or "Disabled." This will speed up the response of the interface.
- Background processes: Select the limit of "No more than 2 processes" and this will prevent the accumulation of debris in RAM during the game.
- Forced GPU rendering: Turn on this option if the game is unstable. It shifts some of the tasks from the CPU to the GPU.
⚠️ Attention: Function «4x MSAA» In the developer settings, it can improve the smoothing of the image, but it significantly increases battery load and heat. Use it only on high-cooled devices.
Cache cleanup and memory management
Genshin Impact accumulates a huge amount of temporary files over time, which can slow down texture loading and cause twitching. Regular cache cleaning is a must for smartphone owners with a small amount of internal memory.
Don't just rely on automatic cleaners. Go to Settings → Apps → All Apps, search the Genshin Impact list. Go to Memory and click Clear Cache. It's important not to confuse it with Clear Everything, as this will remove your downloaded game resources and have to download them again.
Why do you need a separate resource cache?
It is also recommended to close all background apps before starting the game, especially "heavy" ones like multiple tab browsers or social media.The Android operating system tends to keep apps in memory, which can lead to a shortage of RAM for Genshin, causing crashes.
Comparison of optimization methods
So that you can choose the most suitable way to speed up the game for your particular case, we have prepared a comparison table that will help you understand which method will give the most effect depending on the characteristics of your device.
| Optimization method | Impact on FPS | Impact on quality | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decrease in permit | High (+15-20) | Noticeable (soapiness) | Low. |
| Game Turbo | Average (+5-10) | No. | Low. |
| Developer settings | Mean (+5-8) | Minimum | Medium |
| Cleaning up memory | Low (stabilization) | No. | Low. |
As you can see from the table, the biggest impact on performance is actually lowering the resolution of rendering. If your goal is to be as smooth as possible, and you're willing to sacrifice clarity, that method will be a priority. Combining all of these methods will give you the best result.
Additional Advice and Warnings
There are many myths about speeding up games on Xiaomi, including installing third-party boosters from the Play Market. Most of them are not only useless, but also harmful, as they consume resources and show ads. The best booster is a clean system and a competent setup.
💡
Play with connected charging in "Don't Turn Off Screen" mode or use an external cooler.CPU temperature reduction prevents trottling and keeps FPS stable for a long time.
Also keep an eye out for updates to the game itself and GPU drivers (via Play Market or GetApps).Developers often release patches that optimize the game for newer smartphone models.
⚠️ Note: Do not use third-party modified versions of the game (mods on the graphics) if you value your account. Genshin Impact anti-cheat system is very sensitive to file changes and can give a permanent ban. If nothing works, consider resetting your phone to factory settings.This is a radical but often effective way to get rid of system debris accumulated over years of use. 💡Integrated approach: a combination of low-resolution in-game activation, Game Turbo activation and background cleanup processes gives the maximum result on Xiaomi smartphones (FAQ) Why does Genshin lie even on the powerful Xiaomi? It could be overheating of the processor (trottling), background system updates or overcrowded memory. Check the temperature of the device and close the unnecessary applications. Is it safe to turn on 4x MSAA developer-setting? It's safe for the system, but it causes fast battery drain and high heat. On weak devices, it can even lower FPS due to GPU overload. Should I delete the game and put it back in order to speed up? Yes, a full reinstallation can help if the cache files are corrupt. Before deleting, be sure to link the account so as not to lose progress. Does the flight mode help in increasing FPS? Yes, if you play single-play. Disabling communication modules (Wi-Fi, 4G/5G) reduces the load on the processor and prevents network interruption, which can stabilize the frame.
