Xiaomi Game Turbo is an app launcher utility that optimizes each game you play with your smartphone or tablet. It provides a much smoother experience than you might have playing games with the default launcher included with your phone. Chances are that your phone has some type of integrated game booster, but it's probably not enabled.

This mode increases the amount of CPU power allocated to the game your playing, which can increase the frame rate while also dramatically reducing the number of times the game locks up. If you have a tendency to experience sudden soft locks when playing a graphically intensive game, then this might help to completely eliminate them. Xiaomi's launcher should work particularly well for FPS titles and other games that use a lot of system resources.

Depending on the exact build of Android you're running, there's a possibility that some form of turbo boost technology is already switched on. If that's the case, then you don't actually need this product, though running it alongside any other boost won't cause any problems.

Those working with older phones that don't have this enabled by default might see dramatic increases in performance. If you've been forced to run games in a lower resolution format, then you may be able to increase the screen size to your phone's full aspect ratio after starting them through the Game Turbo launcher.

Technically, this product is only designed to work with Xiaomi-branded phones and tablets. By grabbing an APK package, you should be able to install it on almost any kind of hardware. Assuming that it works correctly, you won't even need to install any outside dependencies.

Once you've installed the Game Turbo launcher, you'll be able to select games from it like you would from your phone's built-in launcher screen. It doesn't add any significant amount of additional loading time to your games, so you won't even have to wait to play your favorite titles.

Best of all, there's no compatibility considerations to concern yourself with. Assuming that the Game Turbo launcher works correctly, any game that's already installed on your phone will run through it. For that matter, you could theoretically increase the performance of a web browser or office application by launching it with the Xiaomi app.
