A Poco F1 running Android Pie was spotted on the benchmark comparison platform – Geekbench – and kickoff seen by MySmartPrice. The 6GB variant of Poco F1 running Android Pie scores 2046 and 7520 in the unmarried-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench 4.

These scores are much lower than what I had accomplished while reviewing the Poco F1 simply shut to what we noted in case of MIUI beta, which was recently released for the Pocophone. Hence, the score could either be because of insufficient CPU management on MIUI 10 or poor optimization of the Geekbench 4 app on MIUI x (I experience latter is the case as AnTuTu benchmarks say otherwise). Information technology is also possible that this could be due to custom ROM but since there's none available online all the same, the chances are lean.

Xiaomi recently started testing Android Pie-based MIUI 10 on Mi 8 and Mi MIX 2S and the build will be evaluated on different devices to weed out bugs, and then rolled out over the beta testing channel, which is when we would be able to test it. For now, it is difficult to predict when would we really be able to take this update at our easily, but looking at the New year's day eve'south deadline, I think there shouldn't exist a long await.

As of now, if you desire to examination some of the features that the Android Pie update will be sharing with Oreo, y'all can try MIUI 10 global beta which was recently rolled out for the Poco F1 and improves its performance.
