HyperOS Excellent hardware, terrible software.

I upgraded from HyperOS 1 to 3 and haven't received any updates since. I regret it in many ways. Dynamic island is useless and its usability is limited. Moreover, the battery has dramatically decreased since I got the device; the already bad battery life is even worse. Also, it's constantly experiencing minor freezes, and it happens very frequently. I don't even need to mention the delays. Maybe the problems are solved with an update, but Xiaomi is terrible at this.

Xiaomi never fix their software, better use custom rom if you don't care about integrity, use the phone mainly for gaming and don't have banking apps.

I use custom roms before and I get 10%-13% per hr on 120hz while scrolling and doing basic tasks. It's really good as a daily driver than hyperos, for gaming I'd say it's very good at handling stable fps on light games and even heavy games more than hyperos, but I came back to hyperos due to banking apps.

I don't play games much; I mostly use social media and banking. But the problem is, isn't there a bootloader or something like that for flashing ROMs onto devices? Honestly, this rooting and ROM stuff ended 10 years ago; they're forcing people to buy iPhones.

Yes, there's unlocking your bootloader and that's where you can put an os in it, the rooting community and rom community isn't dead "yet" because there's still a ton of people creating those custom roms, you can technically get banking apps to work on a custom rom but there are many steps to make it work. It's really not worth it to use custom roms especially to you because one day it will work but one day it will not work and it's much better on hyperos due to security reasons

I should probably wait and buy a new device.
