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.

What I tested did not make me want to go to the performance test, it made me too angry.

1- Asus considers this update to be high priority and important, so it is forced. So, if I don't unlock the bootloader or root, operations that block OTAs, the update will come back, so it's impossible to downgrade without losing the warranty.

2- An application launched with Armory Create prevents the superposition of another application, this since .151

- Main application in the foreground;

-- parameter Armory Create ok

-- hidden overlay application, unusable.

- Layered secondary application configured with Armory Create and main application without Armory Create.

-- The overlay application is displayed above the main application and is usable

-- Armory Create setting is disabled

3 - Charge PD / PPS and all chargers with the 2 Quick Charge + PD protocols

-- Bug introduced with update .151, detected by other users at the beginning of January, confirmed by ASUS in February and promised correction.

-- 210 nothing, 226 nothing, 229 nothing

The turned off device also has this problem, which means it's the low level driver, which is even less reassuring

4- Automatic change of 3g-4G-4G+-5G connectivity depending on mobile signal strength

-- Loss of data when a strong 4G+ signal returns, Airplane mode Off-On or deactivate/reactivate the SIM card.

We even come to doubt that the Google security updates are present
