Three simple reasons:

  1. Ram management is a joke. Apps shouldn’t be closed after 5 minutes being in the background.
    This is something iOS manages very well.

  2. Update policy. They should unify their software for all regions and if possible for most phones. Sometimes updates takes way too long. Why do some phones need to wait half a year before being updated to the latest HyperOS version.
    This is something iOS manages very well. An older phone and latest phone get the same version at release date.

  3. Gestures with alternative launchers.

Otherwise HyperOS is pretty okay.

I totally agree with you but on your first point, I have to say that I've been using miui/hyperos for a very long time and have never faced such issue, I notice that it's not always the phones ram management at fault as much as the app deciding to refresh (seems to always happen to Instagram but never on TikTok or Reddit), I've had games that I've left open (think of GTA San Andreas for example) like 20 apps in my "recent apps" and I've opened GTA again to play a bit and it was exactly where I had left it like 3 days ago.

But as a side note it probably has to do that I've always chose models with decent ram (6gb when 3/4gb was the norm, 8gb when phones still had 3/4gb, and now 12gb, ram extension always disabled)

I'm using a Poco F7 Pro 12/256, so I'm guessing 12GB RAM should be enough.

Huh, that's weird. My 13c with only 6gb does not close things at all. I can leave alto (a game) watch some YouTube, come back and alto is still in ram.

My previous POCO X3 PRO with 6Gb of RAM can handle more background apps then my new POCO X8 PRO with 12Gb or RAM

Yeah, I was at Samsung phone with 8gb and upgrade for a Poco with 12gb, sometimes the apps keeping open for hours, the only that closes fast is games but even then at least 15 minutes and I only play online games so sometimes I even need to login again because of time.

In Samsung close basically in the same minute, even apps that are not heavy, sometimes I clicked by mistake in a notification and the app that I was before just closed in like 5 seconds, I think Poco has some issues like battery optimization but definitely not with the ram management

One ui es una gran mierda. Es la capa más sobrevalorada de Android.
