What about system performance and throttle issue is it solved or not update it

View post

He said system performance is really optimised and frame rate is stable, not dropping much.
He hasn't tested it thoroughly.

Audio quality is fine since last update.
Not that much when compared to 1st time unboxed phone.

Hold on guys ... Mixed reviews now
One more person recived the new fw update and he said performance is not improved, cpu remains downclocked in both dynamic and x mode.
First person was using customised hardcore settings (imported scenario profile)

Here are the results
With .229 Update (X-Mode ON)
1.30GHz to 1.42GHz below 40C
And 1.20GHz (1190 MHz) above 40C

With previous .210 Update (X-Mode On)
1.42GHz below 40C
And 1.08GHz above 40C

With old firmware (X-Mode ON)
2.84GHz below 45C
And 2.38GHz above 45C

So they didn't fix shit and only increased a few MHz and called it Optimized System Performance 😂
It's unable to maintain 90 FPS in PUBG and mostly running the game at 50 to 70 FPS.
Someone sue this shitty company, they are outright scamming us. If this is the performance I expected from this gaming phone I wouldn't have bought it. You advertised this as a gaming phone and improved performance over other gaming phones and this is what we get, the performance of a cheap android phone.
Asus phones are fucking joke.
