Question Anyone with ROG6 yet? - Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro

Was thinking of buying the phone alongside with mine Vivo x80 Pro, as it's battery is total disaster.
How's the ROG6 experience in terms of battery, speakers, performance? Would like to hear from someone who has the device rather than paid youtubers.

Battery life is good thanks to the power-efficient 8+ Gen 1.
Comparison in Genshin Impact showed lower power consumption per FPS than 8 Gen 1 phones while maintaining a high frame rate.
The average of 59 FPS is the best among the 8+ Gen 1 phones I have compared!
Thermal throttling is loose, so if you want to play for a long time, you should have a cooler.
For the speaker, both bass and treble sounded beautifully, especially treble was clear and distinct.
It's front speaker so not easily blocked by hands when held horizontally.

ASUS ROG Phone 6 Review - Genshin 59.3 FPS playable gaming smartphone - AndroPlus
I purchased the ASUS ROG Phone 6. Gaming smartphones that heat up and cool down easily The ROG Phone 6 is a smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
androplus.org

I want this phone as a daily driver less a gaming phone.
I've heard mixed things about it, but I'll buy it and try myself.
My vivo x80 pro has the best camera with an awfully battery life.

Hey I just got my phone today. But uhm why is there only 379gb of 512gb available? Is this normal?!

Update the phone and do a system reset, you should have around 460GB left or even more.

speaker is worse than rog 3 because rog 3 has seperate dac for 2 speakers, rog 6 only have one dac for 2 speaker and headphone jack, sound is nice but weak bass, cant compare to rog 3 or blackshark 5 . perfomance is extremely smooth, Asus kinda undervolt the soc so they dont overheat as much as rog 3 and 5 during gaming section(particularly genshin impact max setting), while gaming with max setting genshin , phone temp never pass 43 degree( when using rog 3 its around 50-52) , with the cooling fan the phone barely reach 37 degree . Battery life is very good if u turn off some useless feature like asus logo back light and live screen . Camera perfomance depends on ppl , i barely take any picture so its acceptable . If this phone can stay alive after 6 months without dead ic chip----> best gaming phone of 2022

I bought it two days ago, the speakers are great but shame they downgraded it.
Battery life is superb without tweaking anything, camera is ok and very good at daylight if you use RAW.
It's a great daily driver and gaming phone, i bought it only for the daily drive thing as i barely play games on the phone, wish mine Vivo X80 Pro had the performance, endurance and speakers of the Rog6.

Can you please elaborate on the downgraded speakers part?
My understanding is that they're a bit quieter compared to ROG-3 but speaker sound quality is better....

Interesting details about the sound/speakers. Bad one to cheap out on. ROG 5 has quite upgraded sound experience compared to ROG 3. Better sound, deeper bass, etc.. If the 6 ranks below 3, then it's a big step down on the audio experience...

Can anyone else confirm that?
That would reflect bad on Asus.

Might sound stupid but i bought this device only because it has no notch/punchhole, a good battery, better software support and higher Screen refresh rate compared to red magic 7s pro. I will miss the internal cooler of red magic tbh. But the external cooler makes sense if you consider playing for a longer period as you won't be carrying it in your pocket anyways when playing for longer periods. I will cap the performance which should still be enough without throttling and without any cooler. I like that they have that option outside of x mode where it doesn't throttle at all and limits the performance without a cooler attached. Thats just amazing

Bought this phone for same reason minus gaming reasons.
Mine X80 Pro standby and battery are so bad it's not funny, and it's slow compared to the ROG6.
ROG6 barely refreshes any apps in the background and the battery life is great, some minor bugs like some stutters from time to time on BT when the screen is off.

Overall speed

Would you say that the Samsung C9 Pro is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung C9 Pro exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
+6Gigs of ram
+6 inch screen
+4000mAh battery
+18w fast charging
+Hi-fi
+Samsung pay
+Dual speakers
-snap dragon 653
-crap camera (although it has 2.1 mega pixel camera)
-no Android 7.0 now
-fast charging will enable when the screen are dimming
-not so much third-party rom support(but lineage OS)
-low cost performance
-Crap finger print sensor
The daily use performance are pretty GREAT, the 6gigs of RAM Will let you forgot to clean your recent tasks. The screen is fancy and big enough to enjoy YouTube time and the dual speakers feels great when you're using it, you can't back to only one speaker times. The earphones sound quality are great and I can't go out without my earphones.
But when I want to unlock my C9 pro, it is pretty terrible. It will take several times to unlock the phone and the recognize speed is so SLOW, maybe takes 1s, which is terrible.
(The most important thing is I don't like to play games on my phone,so I don't care about the performance of CPU)

-The Hi-Fi feel nothing if I use some hi-fi headphone
-I think the fingerprint sensor is pretty good ,t can read fingerprint without turn on your screen, unlike the iPhones
-The camera in day time is pretty good but at night...Ummm... It's bad
-Let me talk about the CPU performance,I always play games, the CPU performance if u play some heavy games ilke what I did (e.g. PUBG mobile, Arena of Valor) the CPU performance just like crap ,it can handle it but low FPS and lag something.But still, the CPU performs a top middle range phone performance.
Also the battery life is pretty bad while playing heavy game
Any wrong ,I'm glad to correct information

guys you suggest..!??

After the recent update i could say i was able to feel some heat only while playing games or some heavy usage.
I dont see any specific abnormal heating issues.
i'd like to say heating issue is not an issue on this phone. but very sure ppl will jump in and say they have this and it's bad, etc...
for me. i play games like Mobile Legends and Arena of Valor. no issues. no heat.
but i know that some actually complain of some heat after recording 4k video on the phone for a long time.
i've never had to record in 4K. never feel the need to. most devices can't play 4k anyway. my tv is only 1080 and my phone's only 2K (the honor 8 Pro)?!? but ya, ppl who do video editing might do that. then again, if they are into video editing, i doubt they'd be using a smartphone as recording device... so, in real world practical sense... i think it's a good phone. no heat issue.

i'm using the honor 8 Pro and i'd lie if i say there is no heat. there is when i use 4G and play games like MOBA. but usually, it's very, very little and at times it does get more only when the area has got poor reception.
is this phone "warmer" than other phones? no. if anything, i think it stays cooler than some phones I have used, including Samsung Note 2 and Note 7 or even the OnePlus One.
it does not get terribly warm or anything like that. i don't use 4K recording. so, not sure how warm the phone gets.
hope that answers your Q.

It will not heat in regular browsing and gaming.
Extended usage of camera beyond 15 or 20 minutes can make it warm and not heat.
I played real racing 3 for about half an hour and it didn't heat up at all.
The thing is people don't know the difference between heat and warm.
A device will get warm of extended usage and under extensive load. More so, if it's made of metal.

Seen that many times. People will say it's heating though it is just lukewarm.
I too had a oneplus 3. I did tons of review hunting and finally settled for Honor 8 pro. Been a month now almost, i can say i m impressed with the device. Good luck to u!!
If you have One Plus 3. You SHOULD'NT waste your money on Honor 8 Pro.
Trust me! There is ZERO difference in performance in day to day usage.
may be 10% better in Benchmarks.
Games actually perform better in OPO3 due do having an Adreno gpu and HD resolution.
Camera benefits from having more details due to 16 MP.
Battery full charge in 40 odd minutes compared to 2 hours plus on Honor 8 Pro.
H265 10 BIT HARDWARE DECODING in SD 820 compared to NADA in Kirin 960 (In short, h265 10 bit videos don't play).
So unless you're desperate for a card slot or IR blaster, there's little to NO reason for you to get Honor 8 Pro.

- Kirin 960 performs better than sd820 on op3 and some benchmarks shows it performs about the same as sd835.
- About the gpu yes, adreno a bit better. But dont worry, because later on oreo update u can change res to 1080p or 720p, so gaming performance will improve.
- Nicest design for honor 8 pro.
- Camera a lot better in honor 8 pro, bokeh effects, more details even its just 12mp compare to 16mp op3. Camera on op3 are noisy, check the comparison on website.
- Nice 2k screen on honor 8 pro.
- Battery a lot better than op3.
So apart from sd card slot and ir blaster, theres a lot things better in honor 8 pro.

I have used both the devices and have them in front of me. That's why. Real world usage. No differnece. Photo details more in Oneplus ३. Charging way faster. Plays more media formats via hardware acceleration. No point.

My young brother owns op3. Honor 8 pro camera wins all the way. The overall quality, dynamic range, contrast, sharpening, white balance, color accurate, low noise picture all wins on honor 8 pro side. Low lights picture also better than op3. Compare it with op3, pixel peeping shows op3 has some grainier and noisy photo, even my brother agrees with it. Oh did u try the wide aperture mode? Results are really nice. About the media format, u can always install mx player from play store. Sure battery charging a bit slow because of the big 4000mah capacity, but I dont mind that as it last longer in moderate usage.
Well everyone has their own opinion anyway, so heres mine. Chill.
As for me, yes, dont buy the honor 8 pro yet because honor v10 is coming out next month. Better wait for it, a lot improvement than honor 8 pro with the same price tag.

My young brother owns op3.
I only specifically mentioned about details in pictures due to having more mega pixel. No cure for that.
And I am talking about MX player only. Please try playing H265 10 bit file on it with a Honor 8 Pro.
Then do the same with Oneplus 3. You'll be surprised! One of them WONT play. One of them will play silky smooth.
Also see in settings/decoder which of the formats are hardware accelerated in both.
Kirin 960 might be raw power (Only CPU). But Snapdragon is like super refined and overall well rounded.
Performance wise no real world difference. It would be total waste to upgrade.
I am not giving my opinion but simply stating the facts as I've experienced; to help the OP make wise decision.

WHY THE ROG PHONE 2 IS THE BEST OVERALL PHONE RIGHT NOW ? LET'S TALK...

HI EVERYONE
I'M THE CREATOR OF NUMEROUS POSTS OF ROG PHONE 2 . AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS I REALIZE THAT THIS PHONE IS THE BEST FOR MY NEEDS . I'VE TESTED MORE THAN 50 SMARtPHONES EVEN MI 10 PRO AND THEY AMAZING JBL SPEAKERS( THIS IS THE LATEST I HAD) BUT BATTERY IS NOT AS GOOD AS ROG , SPEAKERS AREN'T VERY LOUD BUT GOOD QUALITY AND BASSES.... BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS ROG WHY IS BETTER
- IT HAS VERY SOLID BUILD QUALITY. GORILLA GLASS 6 , GLASS AND METAL COMBO, 7000 SERIES ALUMINIUM( ROG PHONE 5 IS WELL COSTRUCTED BUT IT BEND MORE EASILY THAN IPHONE 6 PLUS AND IT'S UNACCETABLE FOR 899$ PHONE.
-FIRST ROG WITH 6000MAH BATTERY THAT CAN LAST UP TO 2 DAYS, EVEN 3 WITH 60 HZ AND DARK THEME!
-IT HAS 3.5MM JACK WITH EXCELLENT QUALITY AND EQ (I REALLY MISS ON ROG PHONE 3 AND MOST HIGH END SMARTPHONES)
-IT HAS PROBABLY THE LOUDEST SPEAKERS I' VE EVER HEARD WITH VERY GOOD QUALITY AND CLARITY+ OUDOOR MODE THAT BOAST TREBLE ( ROG 3 DOESN'T HAVE THIS AND ALSO QUIETER SPEAKERS WITH SIMULATED BASSES)
-IT HAS 2 STRONGER VIBEATOR MOTORS ( MOST PHONE INCLUDED ROG 3 HAS ONLY 1)
-4 WIFI ANTENNAS, 4 MICROPHONES
-FIRST 10BIT OLED HDR 120 HZ, 240HZ SAMPLING RATE DISPLAY WITH VERY GOOD DELTA ( QHD IS NOT NECESSARY UNLESS YOU USE VR, AND IT CONSUME MORE BATTERY AND LOWER THE FPS) 90HZ IS THE STANDARD BASE FOR 2020, FROM 60 YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. 120 IS RECCOMEDED , 144 IS ONLY FOR EXTREME GAMING AND DRAIN A LOT. BUT UI,SOCIAL,GAMES BEST IS 120 FOR EYES
-RGB LOGO. THIS IS COOL FOR NOTIFICATION, DURING NIGHT , IT'S A DISTINGUISHABLE SPEC THAT PEOPLE WILL NOTICE.
-18W CHARGING WILL DEGRADE BATTERY LOWER THAN FAST CHARGER LIKE 65W OR 120 AND MY TIP IS TO CHARGE UP TO 80%. THIS PHONE ALSO SUPPORT 30W. SINCE THE BATTERY IS 6000 MAH I RECCOMEND BOTH . BOTH ARE SAFE
-FIRST ROG WITH ALMOST STOCK ANDROID.ANDROID 9 IS LATEST ROM THAT SUPPORT ALSO GLTOOL ( FUTURE PROOF TOOL FOR GPU DRIVERS) AND ALSO ANDROID 9 HAS RW SISTEM. I RECCOMEND THIS ROM BECAUSE A10 IS NOT AS OPTIMIZED AS A9 AND IT' S HAS LOTS OF PERMISSION THAT MADE MODS, APPS NOT COMPATIBLE. BATTERY IS ALSO BETTER IN A9
-AIRTRIGGERS
-FAST UFS 3.0 STORAGE, LOTS OF RAM STORAGE, LAG FREE DEVICE. COSTANT PERFORMANCE
-2 PORTS. USB 3.1 AND 2.0 FOR CHARGING AND REVERSE CHARGING
-GOOD CAMERA EIS( WITH GCAM YOU WILL DO MUCH BETTER PHOTOS AND VERY STABLE 60FPS VIDEOS)
- VERY FAST 855+ PROCESSOR DON'T OVERHEAT AND BETTER TEMPS THAN LATEST 800 SERIES SOCs.
-BEST ROG EVER MADE FOR AESTETIC ( ORANGE ACCENTS ON THE BACK AND THE SPEAKERS, BACK COVER HAS METAL COLOR, MORE COLORFUL ACCENTS ON THE BACK AND MORE SQUARE CAMERAS AND FRAME, IT HAS MORE GAMING LOOK.
THE CONS THAT NOT AFFECT MY DECISION TO BUY AGAIN THIS PRODUCT:
-NO IP RATING, FOR NORMAL USE LIKE RAIN IS PROTECTED SINCE THERE IS NO DIRECT CONTACT TO MOTHERBOARD
-NO WIRELESS CHARGING, I DON'T NEED AND USE I PREFER 3.5 MM JACK THAN THIS..
-NO OIS FOR CAMERA , GCAM WILL FIX THIS WITH NIGHT MODE AND THEIR AMAZING SHOTS AND VIDEOS ( MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR A GAMING PHONE)
-NO DDR5 RAM OR LATEST SOC: 855 PLUS IS PROBABLY THE BEST SOC SINCE DOESN'T OVERHEAT A SINGLE DAY. IT'S MORE EFFICIENT THAN 865 OR 888. THESE OVERHEATS AS LOT OF REVIEWS. DDR4 RAM IS VERY GOOD IF YOU HAVE 8/12 GB ON A PHONE. NO DIFFERENCE IN REAL LIFE.
-NO 8K. NO NEED SINCE PANEL IS FULL HD AND YOU NEED 8K TV FOR SEE THE VIDEO RECORDED
-NO 5G. IT'S FASTER BUT DEPEND BY COUNTRY COVERAGE. THIS WILL DRAIN MORE BATTERY AND MAKE DEVICE HOT. FOR ME IS ENOUGH 4G+ SINCE IS MORE MATURE TECNOLOGY FOR MY NEEDS
-NO SD CARD( BUY 128 OR 512/1T STORAGE NO PROBLEM)
-WEIGHT( THIS IS VERY BALANCED ON ROG 2 TAKE CONSIDERATION OF THAT)
i bought again from giztop at very good price new for 459$ 8/128 gb is a lot for me and i SUGGEST as base in 2021 64gb at least, RECCOMENDED 128GB
i will modify some my post to get best possible user experience on this phone
thank you to all members to enjoy this forum

Nice promotion, next time please include your optimal stock rom version.
Now I'm pondering to choose in dozens of different versions, Android 9 vs 10 vs 11...
Now, I have a vague understanding such at this:
Android 9 has best battery life but a lot of bugs, choose version carefully
Android 10 is worst
Android 11 has medium battery life, new features, a lot of incompatible apps that bring bugs like battery draining...

Obviously my impressions with "latest updates" are very bad.
Every time an Android device update (or being forced to), battery life always downgrade or shortened, because phone providers want you to feel sluggish, slowed, outdated, inconvenient with your devices. Then you would want to buy newer models after 3 years.
My friends all used Oppo and Samsung. First stock roms always have best battery life and smoothest experience. Then things went down until 2-3 years later, when every devices become all laggy, jittery, battery hungry.

Ok now I updated my experience so far for Android 11:
2201.211 rom: Cannot root, even if I installed Magisk 24.3 FIVE times - yes I tried so many times and ways to install root
2111.160 rom: Can root after installing Magisk 24.3.
- I then used Mantis Gamepad Pro to use PS5 controller. After 2 days it stopped recognizing inputs.
- Without Mantis Gamepad Pro, I can use PS5 controller but of course cannot map properly in-game
- Battery draining rate with Bluetooth is very fast (even when the only app opened is Mantis Gamepad Pro + Ebook reader), -80% battery in 3 hours
=> I'm back to 1910.35 for Android 9 - doubled battery saving, better performance, no Mantis Gamepad Pro bugs
Also, I need to update two bugs in Android 11:
+ It does not accept chargers from other brands, for me it's TWO different Samsung 18W charger (Android 9 accepted them normally).
+ It does not accept charging after being drained to 0%. I accidentally slept when reading ebook, making it drop from 50% to 0% during the night.
Next day, no matter what kind of charger (Oppo, Samsung, Asus), it flashed green charging circle for 0.5s then screen off. I had to charge using Asus charger for 1 hour to bring it to 1%, then held Power key to enter OS. Then it did NOT accept charging, I had to re-plug Asus charger again to make it recognize charging.

Android 11 has Accessibility bug that's not been fixed in any rom
Fake Camera app also cannot work on Android 11
Besides the better System UI and keyboard switching button - I cannot find a reason why Android 11 is better.
Android 9 consumes 5% per 30 min gameplay
Android 11 consumes 20% per 30min gameplay
This is a huge difference man.
However, Android 9 System UI would often stop working for 5-10s if I use older apps in 2018, which is a little annoying.

Question Bad performance

Hi, I just got an OnePlus 9 Pro and is rather confused as some real life comparisions with my old phone (Mi 10 Ultra) has showed Oneplus 9 Pro to be slower, in some cases significantly. This really surprises me as the 888 SoC should perform better than the old 865.
To be concrete (regarding the differences):
* When I do the tests in Kinemaster that tells me what the phone is capable of: Oneplus 9 Pro gets IDENTICAL scoringin both 39,6 Mpixel/s and possible resolution.
* When I try in Vivacut to export a 4k file: On my Mi 10 Ultra I CAN export it, on Oneplus 9 Pro, the phone refuses to export it in any higher resolution than FHD. Ironically enough, if I export the SAME file, it takes longer time for OP9P to export it in FHD compared to letting Mi 10 U export it in 4k
I have made sure that all settings are the same in the apps and I have also done a total reset of the whole phone (the Onepluis 9 pro) but the problems persist.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or is there anyone else that has run into things like not beeing able to export 4k from VivaCut on the OP9P??

I've not run any benching software on it yet, but under normal daily usage of Apps and Games I play, it does significantly feels a lot faster and smoother than my old Razer Phone 2.
I got the 1+9 Pro to replace my dying RP2 as my gaming device, phone, organizer, etc...., and so far it's doing an excellent job at it, by that i mean really speedy and smooth.
The only thing I did noticed that is not very satisfactory are the battery consumption and the speakers, my old RP2 has waaaaay longer battery life for several straight hours of gaming.
The 1+9 Pro doesn't long half that long, but with the ability to get almost a full charge 90%+ in 15 min, i can forgo that minor issue.
The speakers thought, I can't really ignore, simply not loud and clear enough compared to the RP2.
Back to the performance point, I don't trust on synthetic benches, I go by real world usage.
That's why I've been comparing it to my old RP2 which had excellent performance, it was too bad the battery is dying.

Question Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G Heating Issue?

My Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G device is heating upto 46⁰+ in BGMI with Screen Recording and Max Brightness. Hows your?
Is this is normal?
please Help!
5G standard user:
Heating is much resolved by software compared to what was happening in the beginning. They apparently curb SD 780G and it become real 5 nm chipset. Normal phone use, multiapping with average brightness just make it lukewarm, huge improvement, battery also improved and is good enough considering amazing phone weight. And extremely snappy on MIUI 13, even faster than on 12.5.
Can't say about temp but I'm sure max brightness plus GPS or gaming must make it way above 45 degrees as almost any other phone (or in your case screen recording and max brightness; our displays are rather average AMOLED tech not LPTO so they need a lot of energy on max hence battery suffers). Less weight probably also means less metal inside so this phone must sometimes get hotter but it's still more than reasonable.

So, should I return my phone because it is in return policy or your phone also heats this much? And Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G has SD 778G Processor and 6nm. Isn't it?

You said SD 780G with 5nm, why?

It's totally normal, don't worry about it if temp is fine during standard use.
Mine is 5G version not NE but with 780G Snap, only difference. Almost same processor.

Yes bro, I have one more question that is When I was playing BGMI in that condition which mentioned above after temperature went above 46⁰+ the game became choppy and ping is also became poor. So, Is this also a normal? Or I should Return this please reply...

It is. Its name is throttling. It happens when chipset is getting too hot and processor/GPU has to slow down automatically as a safety measure to prevent it from damaging itself due to high temperature.
Mi 11 Lite 5G (NE) is pretty innovative design but also not the best choice for gamers as heat dissipation in those phones might be a bit affected because of less metal parts/radiators inside (to reduce its weight). Best would be to make a break or lower resolution/details. Or use fan blowing cold air into your phone in hands.

It's about the model/chipset, not your particular unit.
If you replace the unit with another the same model - same workload will again cause the same heating
For heavy gaming you had to choose a phone with more powerful hardware (and with the higher price tag)
Any "Lite" model is obviously not a top-notch gaming machine

what should be the maximum temperature during normal usage? See mine in attached files in full brightness and at auto brightness it is at approx 35⁰+. Please guide.

Cannot 'guide' you. I didn't observe any heating (11 Lite 5G NE, MIUI 12.5.8) and I don't play any games (except solving 5x5x5x cube - but my brain lightly heats then, not the phone)
Consult the service.
If you are unhappy and if your return policy allows, return, pay the difference and take some Pro phone
Also do not expect any flagship with Snap 888 to be much cooler. Performance will be definitely higher but they tend to throttle too and heats like crazy if game is demanding.
Maybe Dimensity 1200 is better in terms of that and much cheaper.
According to the test from notebookcheck which always contains temperature the 5G NE should not heat when not in use. It has a much lower temperature than other devices.
Have a look if you have the wakelock bug. This would heat the device and drain battery.

How to find & resolve this bug?
Now the temperature is approx 38⁰ - 40⁰ during normal usage is this temperature is normal?

And what if this unit is defective? How to find that this device is good in condition and others Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G devices facing the dame issues.
Wakelock bug:
I'm not sure how the menu is in English.
Settings (Einstellungen)
Battery (Akku)
Scroll a bit down
Change that list to "Details"
If you see "Wake/Awoke" (Wach) is a full line without any interruption, reboot. This resolves it, at least for this time.
It occurred on my device once, it is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. I would be astaunished if it could not happen on the 11 Lite 5G NE.

I really don't know, didn't observe (I don't use a lot my Lisa), hence frankly I'm also not interseted about - sorry (user like not, I'm not the Xiaomi helpdesk)
You can ask the service or exercise the return policy - if applicable (I'm not fully happy with my phone but I cannot return and take another unit or model)
Hopefully the answer from tag68 in the previous post can be much more useful for you
See the test on notebookcheck, there's a photo of a heatmap. Their measurement was the highest temperature when heavily used (benchmark) as 33.4 degree Celsius on the upper side, which is quite low compared to other models.
I have a doubt about what is measured during such tests, becaus my Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE overheats in direct sunlight like crazy. It cannot be used to take pictures, see anything on the screen.
I would not recommend this phone for a vacation trip where outdoor temperatures reach 30 or more degrees celsius. I got this overheating while downloading over LTE and after 4 minutes with outdoor temperature at 26 degrees, the phone simply shuts off GPS, BT, WiFi and LTE plus it shows the overheating warning on the display.
I had to turn my back to the sun to read the message, it is a very bad experience and I already regret that I fell for all these comments that the phone does not have any overheating issues. It has, big time and it is very sad that this is never mentioned in any reviews.
I did not buy a phone that must be carried in the dark and cannot be used in direct sunlight. This is simply a no go for me and I will return my phone at the next occasion for a refund.
Furthermore, I did the CPU throttling test and yes this phone with the SD 778 is throttling horribly, this is so bad. I returned my phone now for a refund.
Just as an example how other phones behave I have also tested the Mi 9 Lite, same throttling test, no issue at all the phone did not throttle a single bit whereas the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE did throttle after one minute from 100% to 80% and even further down. This phone is not fit for it's task, there are too many compromises made to the size and thickness of the phone.
