Hot as in uncomfortable to hold genie app shows temp as 43 to 48 degree that too without x mode and no gaming. This is not suitable for phone which came out of box 20 min ago.

43 to 48 is that the cpu temp not the system temperature? if yes it's not a problem cause that is my cpu and gpu temp while idle or browsing in web.

Even while browsing playstore it gets hot. But more during app installation. I think its due to vent blocked by the rog back case in box.

lmao.
its just a hole where it can push air through with the active cooler that basicially does nothing in the first place. Covering it makes no difference.

@devicentextian
the temp is basicially system temp. Under gaming CPU temps are usually around 60-70c on load which is quite low compared to other smartphones out there that easily hit 90+c.

You will get a back case where the vents aren't covered. Let me know if any issues.
