While the gaming performance itself is pretty much the same, to lets say, LOS or AOSP based rom. What lacks in MIUI is multitasking but hey 6gb RAM is very good at running MIUI. It even runs dolphin better than s8 (both exynos & sd835 variant). OP5 will be priced way higher than the mi6 with the design of oppo r11/ip7+ with starting price at more than 500 USD for a budget flagship... is a big no.
have you turned on the performance mode on your MTK's Redmi?
my advice... dont buy redmi's with MTK, it's a known problem & even xiaomi addressed this issue by always releasing the SD variant eventually.
ZUK Z2 is sd820 like mi5, right? in my opinion just go for sd835... seriously major improvement and can be seen when playing dolphin.
I am pretty impressed with mi6 too! I am not regretting having mi6 for sure.
the battery life & performance is great.
I've used MIUI on multiple device and the gaming performance is absolutely not the same. They actively keep the processor below max. Using RN4 with S625 was atrociously slow. Mi3 with a Tegra 4 was pitiful and Tegra 4 exclusive games and GFX didn't run correctly even though they did on other Tegra devices. I switched to a RN4 with Helio X20 and it's definitively better, but MIUI has rigged the governor to block off the big cores, even though other Helio x20 devices have no issue. Xiaomi releases Snapdragon variants because Qualcomm is abusive and refuses to fairly license out their IP, and nobody can compete with them outside of China. Why do you think 3 major governments are suing Qualcomm for a billion each? Let's not sit here and pretend Qualcomm is actually infallibly better than the others. Nothing that was discussed here even is chipset specific. Dolphin has been known to run very well on properly implemented hip sets from every single vendor. The issue is that Xiaomi does not implement them properly, and that is entirely their fault. Period.
