Multitasking is ok with two or three small apps, if one of them is a larger game or you start opening more of them, the phone will kill apps even though there is still plenty of free ram.
Tasks in the background are a problem, you have to follow a long list of steps for each app to make it stays running but for now (MIUI 11 11.0.7.0 based on Android 9) it can be done.
However people with other Xiaomi phones that already got the Android 10 and MIUI 12 updates claim that it got worse, it looks like no matter what you do the phone will kill apps in the background, so stuck widgets and missed notifications might be unavoidable. Multitasking also suffers a bit in MIUI 12 from what I've heard but all of this is speculation based on people running software not even available for this phone so we're just have to see.
Horrible Multitasking.
I use the Android 10 software. The phone keeps killing apps, even the small apps like messaging apps every time. it is really frustrating.

Also updated to Android 10, app killing and widget freezing can still be resolved easily with proper permissions.
You need to give the app you need to be running in the background every permission from Permissions and Other Permissions, picture-in-picture and drawing over other apps permissions are the most important. Also allow it to Autostart and set it's battery optimization to No Restrictions and if it still gets killed, launch the app, open recents, longpress on it, click the padlock to lock it in memory and don't swipe it out of recents manually.

Multi window
I find the multi window feature of this device kinda disappointing, as with the tall display, it's kind of a bummer that even chrome is not supported, even the reddit app is not supported, and the ram management is too aggressive, youtube and chrome for example constantly closes as I switch back and forth.
And I wish they've kept the double tap recent menu to switch to previous app.
MULTITASKING/RAM

It's ****. Bad enough to be a deal breaker and I can't wait to get rid of this phone.
It's really bad. The limitations are such that it would have been better if the option of multi tasking did not exist. I'm glad that I've kept this as my secondary phone and it does the work that I expect it to. Multi tasking was on my list, but like there is in every other phone, I compromised on this feature.

For people who like MIUI this is the best yet, MIUI 10 has plenty of good stuff, I hate Xiaomi for including ads everywhere but there are various ways to completely disable them . The first thing I did after getting the phone was to disable recommendations on all its native apps and in settings and after that enable USB debugging and removed all useless apps like MI Picks and Mi Video. Now its just a smooth continous and whole lot of pure MIUI.
I like the software optimasations and battery life optimisations on this phone.

To be honest I do not like it. I am not a skinned Android person. I like the stock android look, I am not a fan of my phone looking almost like it's running IOS, which it doesn't anymore but older versions of MIUI and other skinned Android version from Chinese phone makers really do look like. There is something broken with the power management, especially on MIUI 10.3.7 global. My battery life isn't awful, it's good but can be better. Android will sometimes use 75% of the battery, and just leave apps open even after you have closed out of them in recents, and this wouldn't be a problem if it was just one app, but it's all of them! I do not need or want Instagram using 9% of my battery when I have only had it open for maybe 15 minutes (I am logged into 4 Instagram accounts so that might be the cause of it using so much of my battery), Youtube sometimes uses like 20% when I check the power usage. This kind of forces me to ha seems like an issue to me. Also, I can't find other reports of this so it might just be my phone, but I have reinstalled MIUI like 5 times already so I am pretty sure this is an issue many have.

I have noticed that some of the high battery usage is being caused by the location is turned on, but this doesn't justify the crazy battery usage of apps.
Miui is nice, but needs a lot improvements in working and smoothness

128GB 6GB version here. Only thing I've seen that's laggy is when swiping down the Google Now on the left hand side of MIUI launcher. Seems to get a bit sticky. No idea what's causing it.... I don't remember Nova Launcher having the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Fixed by updating to the latest Google in Beta
For me it's still lagging with recent google beta app
Nova launcher+3rd party full screen gesture instead of miui system gesture. That's usually what lags in most xiaomi phones. Even using the nav bar will be less laggy

Try updating to the newest version of MIUI Launcher. The version that comes on the phone is old and doesn't include the option to use an app drawer. Here is a the link to the newest version. This is official, and is NOT a beta verison. This is the release version. I'm using it with NO issues and having an app drawer is great.

I am already using the most recent miu launcher and it is still lagging hmm strange
Edit: 11.0.8 update plus most recent google beta app finally fixed it for me. Not entirely perfect, but good enough. Hope it stays that way...

Can someone who has this device please check how it handles background activity?
Does it stop apps or widgets that rely on having processes running in the background, like 3rd party clock, alarm or weather apps and widgets?
Does it have very common nowadays problem with missed or delayed notifications from 3rd party messangers and other apps?
A good test to run is https://dontkillmyapp.com/ but you can check most of it with just having apps open i the background.
Excellent

I am still running Android 10 on my Pixel 4a and multitasking is a breeze. My phone's free RAM hovers around 3.9 to 4.1 GB

Like in miui there is almost no multitasking and apps killing scenario all the time.
I installed Auto Auto-rotate, and I can't seem to get it to run on background.
What does one need to do to let specific apps to run on background?
Things I've tried:
- Disabled MIUI optimizations on dev settings
- Not Optimized in app settings
- Security->Battery->App battery saver->No restrictions
Turn on autostart for aplication and lock padlock for it in recents
Multitask is pretty good, I can multitask with about 8 apps (including YouTube @1080-60 video on pip, chrome, Instagram, facebook all open at once). I removed all the bloat and after that when no app is open the ram usage is 3.5/6.0 GB.

Lol, I haven't really checked the max apps that can stay in the background. I can bet it can keep more than that. The phone is new, I think this will get better with time. I am particularly happy with my X3, this is the first phone that wasn't hand-me-over.
