Xiaomi hides this performance trick in phone settings

Xiaomi has quietly integrated a feature that addresses one of the most common pain points for smartphone users: slowdowns caused by limited RAM. The Dynamic RAM Expansion feature enables Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices with MIUI or HyperOS to supplement their physical RAM by allocating a portion of internal storage as virtual RAM. This approach allows users to boost device performance without investing in hardware upgrades or technical services—making it a particularly cost-effective solution for both budget-conscious and premium users.

The Business Value of Optimized RAM

RAM functions as the working memory of any smartphone, enabling smooth multitasking and rapid access to active applications. As mobile apps and operating systems grow more sophisticated, they place even greater demand on available memory. When a device runs short on RAM, users experience slower app transitions, lag, and sometimes even unscheduled system restarts—none of which are acceptable in a fast-paced business environment.

How Dynamic RAM Expansion Works

Dynamic RAM Expansion addresses these bottlenecks by reserving a portion of internal storage and utilizing it as virtual RAM. For example, a device equipped with 8GB of physical RAM can be configured to add another 4GB from storage, effectively giving users “8+4GB” as shown in system settings. This solution does not require any physical intervention or additional expenditure, which is particularly valuable for organizations looking to extend the lifecycle of their hardware assets.

Device Compatibility and Feature Availability

This feature is widely available across the Xiaomi ecosystem. From the flagship POCO models to cost-effective Redmi devices—including mid-tier options like the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G—Dynamic RAM Expansion is accessible to a broad range of users. The amount of expandable RAM (4GB, 6GB, or 8GB) depends on the specific device and available storage, ensuring flexibility for varied business needs.

Activation Process: Simple Implementation, Immediate Results

Enabling the feature is designed to be user-friendly:

• Open the Settings application
• Navigate to “Additional Settings”
• Locate and select “Memory Extension” (or “Memory Expansion”)
• Choose the desired amount of expansion (4GB, 6GB, or 8GB)
• Confirm and restart the device to activate

In just a few steps, users can realize measurable improvements in device responsiveness—an advantage for productivity-focused environments.

Key Considerations

While Dynamic RAM Expansion offers clear benefits, it does require sufficient free storage to function effectively. Users may need to free up space to enable the feature. Additionally, it is important to note that virtual RAM operates at slower speeds compared to physical RAM; however, for general business use—email, productivity suites, and communication—the improvement is typically significant.

For IT managers or power users seeking further optimization, resources like HyperOSUpdates.com or the MemeOS Enhancer app (available on the Play Store) provide access to advanced system enhancements and updates.
