Phone getting too hot when playing any game after the A10 update!

While playing simple games like Brawl stars , the device gets to temperatures of 44+ (120Hz, without plugged in). This can't be normal and definitely the game shouldn't be blamed for this. We all know how COD mobile is almost unplayable now, most probably due to the game's internal issues but we cant change the fact that the device is getting super hot even with normal usage of the phone. I have taken a good break from that game till they fix it.

I know there have been many issues with A10 that are being discussed in the forum already. Its surprising that ASUS rolled out an update that has almost ruined the experience for their topmost consumer i.e. the gamer! I had a Xiaomi device before this and I upgraded to an ROG for superior performance but now I am almost missing my old phone because its updates and UI were very stable and convenient. I request you guys to please look into these issues and listen to your users otherwise the ROG series will not be able to hold its spot in the market.

Has it maybe gotten hotter where you live in the last two months? To my knowledge, it's not supposed to be hotter with A10 but maybe we haven't noticed because everyone at ASUS use our device in a much colder environment.
If you backup to google, then it will save things that can be tied to google services, call logs, not sure about sms (probably not), pictures and your video but not downloaded movies or music. Not personal files. I recommend you move all those to a pc before you downgrade.

Don't trust in game genie temperature it keeps showing 37-38 . Use the infrared thermometer it shows 48 degrees after playing 1 hr of game . That also check at the left airflow vent side it's shows perfect temp .

Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. Thanks for your patience. You may tap “System updates” in [Settings] >[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update firmware by referring to the following link.

I have personally tested & can tell you that thermal has improved considering summers in India.
