I got downgraded to the stable Android 13 version about a couple of weeks ago here in Finland. Today I noticed a big change, I believe that the battery is now fully optimized for my own use and the system has stabilized after the downgrade. Today I played ranked matches for 6 hours straight in cod Mobile using x mode without a cooler. My phone's battery only drained 50% in six hours and the system temperature didn't rise higher than 36°C even though I didn't use a cooler and i use x mode. It's strange because with Asus' own Android 13 system "WW_33.0820.0810.241" the temperature rose without a cooler to 40°C or higher using x mode. I got that system with a downgrade from a service here in Finland, but not from Asus's own service, and the phone feels much cooler than the same system provided by Asus last year. Anyway, the phone is really cool now, if I don't use the phone, its temperature is really low (photo included). The temperature inside my house is around 23°C. The gaming experience is otherwise great and there are no fps drops or any other problems. I don't use wifi, i use 300mb unlimited 5G mobile data.

I didn't get a downgrade from Asus. I got it from warranty service, my warranty is still valid and I will get future updates..

@JimiK The warranty services in places without an ASUS Service Center are made by certified Service Centers and their procedure is firsthand approved by ASUS, as we do have some of those in the Nordics.
This is the reason your warranty is still valid.

Better wait for their patch, they have to fix the mess instead of user have to learn replace firmware by their ownself.

Guys, what if you reset your phone to factory settings? The firmware should be reset

Factory reset will not help, their broken codes still there.
