Good Question
So. Many companies have diiferent UIs, the Samsung's TouchWiz, the Sony Timescape etc. These UIs add theme, good transitions and some tweaks. These also have some bloatware which many don't use at all. And these Bloatware add some pressure on RAM and the Processor, affecting the overall performance of the phone. Plus the theming of the pure android adds some extra strain on the hardware and the useless bloatware decrease the internal memory too
If you have the top notch phone, you don't even feel the decrease in the performance as compared with pure android at the same price but if you have a budget friendly phone, you can see the performance decrease.
In other words, the best performance in phones of same hardware is seen on Pure Android phone. But some like the transition much better than the performance
May be this help you
Hit thanks if helped
Would you say that the Xiaomi Mi 5s is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Mi 5s exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The Snapdragon 821 is more than enough for anything, I did not have any performance issues with LOS. It's just lightning fast.
My OnePlus One was faster with stock ROM. SD820/821 phones are crap if they doesn't have EAS or any extra tweaks. Ofcourse games aren't included in this.
My experience is also that it's very fast within apps, but just about adequate in the interface no matter the launcher. It has nothing to do with the hardware, but just the battery optimizations from Xiaomi. I do expect a large difference when MIUI 9 releases as the first reports confirm that it improves a lot in the feel of speed in the interface.
the phone is lightning fast, in fact it is one of the fastest phone i have ever used, altough the OP3T is faster but the Mi5s is definitely in My list of the fastest android phones
It's really fast for processing, games, but sometimes it just lags for no reason with slow scrolling.
i love google pixel design and camera, but now i'm confuse after razer phone show up, i'm using phone usually for light social media, gaming mostly and taking picure sometimes.
for google pixel 2 user here, i want to know, how is google pixel 2 gaming perfomance for moba game such as aov, is it smooth like the razer phone ? and how fps do you get when you change all setting to high.
thanks for anybody who will help me to decide.
peace.
The Pixel series aren't the fastest on the market; that being said, they aren't slouches, either. The Pixel 3 had one of the better cameras of the Pixel line, although the new Pixel 6 is a potential challenger. I can't speak much to gaming performance as I don't game, but my Pixel 2 worked great for social media and streaming video. I replaced it with a Pixel 5 two years ago.
A good way to compare gaming performance is simply use Google to search one device vs another. There's more than a few websites out there that compare the statistics of the phones as well as their performance.
Below is the 3Dmark score while running on latset global beta. OP6 running on same specs performs better...and I expect poco to perform at same level. Its clear that MIUI is holding the phone back from achieving it's true potential when it comes to gaming. So just a request to custom rom devs not to overlook this.

i save almost 300 bucks from op6 , so i am not complaining , if can be improved ,its a plus
those are benchmarks though. you have to use both devices or ask someone who already has them about how they perform if you actually want to compare the "flagship gaming experience" feeling of using them. benchmarks are just numbers and wont give any score on actual real life usage, especially on devices with the same chipset.
EDIT:
To be fair, I have to point out that I experience more hiccups on my F1 on MIUI 9 stable compared with my older Mi 5s on MIUI on latest beta. F1 is definitely better on the FPS department on gaming (very noticeably better) than my 5s, but hiccups or lagging while playing on long sessions on F1 is quite disturbing for me. The F1 definitely needs more stability updates.
*Games I'm referring to are Naruto Blazing, PUBG, and Mobile Legends.

I have both poco f1 and op6.
Op6 is obviously best in all gaming experience.

Benchmarks are NOT the proper way of determining gaming capabilities.
Yes, the OP6 performs better but that's because it has no bloatware installed on it. It has almost stock android with some fine tuning. MIUI is filled with crappy add-ons that do almost nothing good to device performance. I haven't checked the global 10 beta. Maybe it's better than the 9 or maybe not. If you want to have the top notch performance , just flash a custom ROM with a custom kernel but that too needs waiting as I'm not seeing great development here for our F1. So all we can do now is wait.

Yes I am hoping for a good rom too....with proper tuning this phone can perform so much better

Sorry but no. You have no idea what you're talking about. Nobody knows, at this stage.
The GPU or RAM could be clocked slower in the Poco, for all we know.
If you expect the Poco to perform as good as a phone that is 2x the price then you are just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Also, Poco gets 286k score in Antutu. Which is the same as their chart listing for OnePlus 6. Not that benchmarks are 100% conclusive of performance, as already stated.
Continuing @CosmicDan , benchmark scores on MIUI10 are better than even the 1000$ flagships. Both graphics and storage, which are causing bottlenecks on MIUI9 are vastly improved on 10.

P.S. : 3DMark is still not running. That's the only thing that holding me back from liberty to the skepticism.
people for the love of god and for 10000th time...benchmarks are never a measure for the real life performance of the phone,its only theoretical of what it can do under control preset environment,only noobs believe and base their ideal phone performance base on benchmark apps!!!
Buy a OP6 .
Im good with F1, i dont play on smartphones.

And as you are saying benchmarks are unconclusive. Some Manufacturers chose to cheat on them, like we saw with the Huawei s boost of CPU performance on benchmark apps. The most representative benchmark would be one that the manufacturer didn't know about when they were optimising the device and writing algorithms for benchmark detection

Forget the benchmarks and go check the FPS in games. You can do that with GLTools (root is required). It can also optimize games for better performance/better graphics. Even without the optimizations you will get 30 FPS in all games on max graphics and even 60 FPS in games that support high frame rate.

Ah, I wouldn't be so proud of ignorance. Mobile gaming is nothing to scoff at. It rivals that of consoles and PC from a financial POV. Last I checked it was ~40% of all gaming revenue - should approach 50% by 2019/20.
So there's a reason Tencent, EA, Gameloft, and various gacha devs love mobile...
To me, it comes as no surprise that people want to play games on the F1. Most people have phones, but not everyone has time to play in front of a TV or monitor.

I thought the same, until Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls Blades. Townsmen is pretty good too, if you like strategy games (doesn't need high specs though).
There's also great emulation potential, if you get a gamepad (iPega for example).
speaking of GL-Tools..
im quite annoyed when playung nba 2k18 on my F1.. it only gets about 30-40fps .. i used to enjoy playing it on my 5t,, which gets me to about 50-60fps with cloth sim, reflection and shadow all set to off,, the rest are all high...
tried this on poco f1,, 60fps on the first minute,, then going down and down to only 25-30fps on the 4th quarter.. tsk,, ive sold my sd 835 5T for this one,, and now am starting to feel sorry, tsk
anyways,, on emulator gaming such as PPSSPPP,, this one is superb

PSP,Nitendo GB Color, Advanced, etc have the same form factor as a mobile phone and were a lot famous during their time. If you really think phone is not for gaming, you are so naive.
Developers are shifting on to Android, not for fun but they are earning from it and their profit tells us how many people play game on phones.
Just like Consoles and PC's have their own advantage (although PC has more) similarly phones have some advantage too.
-The most important point being portability when you are on the move. You will say that gaming laptops have an advantage then do tell me for how much time can you run games on a laptop before reaching for charger and can your laptop be charged for like 4-5 times with a powerbank?
-Android is a more free market for games, remember how tellatale changed the story? (bad that it's now closed)
-PUBG did the same thing, it brought a whole new genre to handheld device.
-We are bound to get a lot of new games once the developers like Nitendo comes onboard (properly) maybe it will crash the market of handheld consoles or atleast will make the developers decrease the cost of handheld consoles.

Buys a phone designed for pure hardware prowess while cheaps out on all the rest features then wonders why ppl buy it. I know I shouldn't say it but you don't seem like a smart guy.
A meme would have described my feeling better the laugh I had reading this comment.
Debating buying this phone, I love the specs, but I'm concerned about not getting a stable daily driver rom without issues.
I'm thinking this phone is going to be very popular in the custom rom scene due to its excellent price and specs.
How are you guys liking yours ?
I've read about issues with overheating, fingerprint reader, NFC, and battery drain.
Thoughts ?
Talking about my experience, after remove MIUI and flashed CrDroid i can't see big issues like you describe (overheating, etc...).
I'm using it for my daily life and job without issues.
No issues for me on ArrowOS, daily driver.

i m on xtrv, a greek modded, cleaned up version of xiaomi.eu. no such issues as the ones you mention. quite happy with my choise, fast soc and headphone jack being my priorities. coming from lineage on my previous device, i welcome the extra features since the device is powerful enough to cope.
I installed Pixel Plus UI and it has been fantastic. I have no regrets leaving my Oneplus 7 pro and Razer phone 2 in my old phones drawer. On this ROM the Poco X3 pro really shines and is as smooth and fast as either of them 9if not more so).
Super easy to install TWRP and then a ROM. Passes safetynet out of the box with DOTOS. I see a good daily driver for a long time.
My only complaint is hardware. Screen doesn't do well in sunlight. But fast processor, audio jack, sd card, and a fast fingerprint reader on the side where I prefer it.
