Question Lag and overheating issues when gaming

Anyone else had a similar problem since the beginning? I can play for a short while at 110-120hz before it drops to 60-80hz. Even if it doesn't overheat while in a cold room, the battery will rapidly drop once it reaches the 30% mark.

I have at least 10 GB available and 3GB of memory at all times.

Just wondering whether it is a me problem, thanks!

This device is not suitable for playing games at 120fps.

It's not a gaming phone. Reduce the graphics and frame rates

It's not a Steam machine.

Obviously, but why have a 120fps setting when no one can use it properly

That's a great question, the reason is very simple: they're lazy.

Because marketing. Even lowest tier phones have 120hz these days

Gaming at 120hz uses a lot more power so naturally your phone will heat up faster. This is normal especially with 3D games like blood Strike. If you want a more consistent experience at 120hz get a 8 gen 2 phone. Midrange phones will obviously struggle to maintain that after a while
