Heat - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Real Life Review

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Not for me.

What's the temperature you guys get?
My phone at times shoots to 38 - 40 degrees celsius on normal usage.

At my intensity of the work my phone never goes above 40 degree celsius in the normal use and it remains cool for the most of the time

It remains cool all the time and I'm loving Snapdragon already. My last device was RN4X with that terrible Mediatek Chipset and boy not only it's so power hungry, but also constantly go over 44C all the time, record was 47C and I thought it was gonna explode at that time. Below is a proof that I game a lot with this device, it's not PUBG but still demanding enough cause it runs in 60FPS.

I play PUBG at max settings and the CPU temp reaches 47-48° at times and the phone does get hot then. On average 42-44 provided I'm in a well ventilated environment. Anyone else with same readings ?

44 degrees in a well ventilated environment is quite a bit! Do you observe any throttling issues when the phone get's heated up?

I noticed the phone's getting heated up while on Facebook only when outdoors in daylight..
Does anyone have the same issue?

Overall speed is good...
App launching speed is very nice.
Multitasking is good...
Scrolling smoothness is also good...
Heating issue raises on video calling... Other than this there are no other issues with performance.

Gets hot in Summers
Gets really hot in summers 45+. But in other seasons no it was normal 35-40.

Never rises above 43 when gaming or charging. Average is 36-38.

[Q] CM9 0.2.0 SetCPU and Undervolt Settings. Recommendations?

Hi everyone,
So I'm super excited to have CM9 now that the camera is working. So far it's been a great experience. I just want to make sure that I'm getting the best performance and battery life.
Here are my SetCPU settings. I was wondering if someone could look them over and let me know if there is any room for improvement.
SetCPU
Main Profile: 216 min 1300 max
Screen off profile: 216 min 750 max
Battery<50% Profile: 216 min 1000 max
I was thinking about maybe adding some profiles for CPU and Battery temperatures since my phone gets hot when I'm using GPS and I'm afraid of damaging something. Any thoughts?
Also in the undervolt tab of SetCPU I have each category set to -50mV. I'm not that well versed with undervolting so any additional tips may help.
Thanks in advance.
-D
Welcome to the Awesome Club! As for the screen off i personally have mine at 456 max and have little to no issues, the only time I have a problem is if im streaming music in background when screens off it will occasionally freeze on me. But you can deff bring that down from 1000 max, i personally run my max processor main speed at 1000 just because there isnt really a need, for me atleast, to run it at 1300 lol just kills battery quicker, heats up phone, and its beyond snappy for me at 1000. As for undervolting, i personally gave up on it, i never saw a massive difference. The highest you can UV the Tegra2 is -100mV at any given clock speed. As for temps bringing your clock speeds down will lower your temps for sure, as long as your under 50 Celsius your pretty good from what ive seen around. As for the adding more profiles, its just adding more crap running in the background lol the only one I personally run is the screen off. If i feel the phone getting too hot I manually check temps via SetCPU and if its getting to be an issue back down the processor for a few.
Instead of typing all my profiles out, I just took a screenshot instead (go go just waking up lazy ness)

I've also got everything UV'd 100mv, but like w0lf215 said, I'm not 100% sure it makes a huge difference.

[Q] Low speed when Its hot!!?

Im expecting a low speed in my phone when its hot.
For example, if I'm playing a game and reach a high temperature, SXS becomes low ( frame rate decrease considerably...)
Tested with need for speed and Nba JAM for example.
Do you expects the same issues?
Thanks

this is not an issue...
if your cumputer running hot, your comupter also became laggy... its because when the device running hot, your device is on max CPU/RAM usage
I don't agree with that.
Check this values:

Do you think 40 Celsius degrees is too hot?
And what about cpu at 810mhz?

40 degrees is that all? I've had previous phones go to 50+

The Processor will scale its self back to protect from thermal damage, just like a PC does.
40 deg does seam a bit low but TBH there is no heat sinks or heat fans ect to dissipate the heat so you may find that 40 deg is where the hardware testers found was safe and stable before the hardware went into thermal runaway. (cant stay at a stable temp just gets hotter and hotter)
what app is that i'll run it on all my phones and see what it says
food for thought

This.
The Xperia S seems to be programmed to keep internal temperatures under 40 degrees C. If it hits 40 degrees, it'll slow down charging rates, lower processor clocks, cut down the GPU... Basically whatever it takes to keep those temps at a level that the Sony engineers deemed an ideal limit.
Once it cools down, it'll be back to 100%.
It's not an issue, it's intentional on Sony's part.

Lag in games.

Hi guys,
I'll cut to the chase and lay out my problem:
Rom: MiUI 3.2.1
Kernel: Perseus alpha33
For some reason, contrary to positive reviews from Galaxy S 3 owner, Real Racing 3 is very Laggy on my phone.
I took some time out to troubleshoot the issue but to no avail. I downloaded the Fps meter app and here are the results:

It seems that the game is barely running at 30 frames per second which is causing significant performance issues.
Is anyone else, who has the game, facing similar issues? Or is the game running perfectly fine?
Also, is there any way I can improve or increase the frame rate? Or is it up to the developer (EA) to optimise the game?
Cheers!

Mine is really bad. I've resorted to playing it on the Asus Transformer Prime for the time being. Hoping they would release an update to fix the issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
mine is fine, but unplayable on the prime
Most probably some coding issue.. I guess the developers will make it more efficient
Same here
I experience some lag also, it doesn't make the game too hard to play, but it is a little annoying
one way I was able to get rid of almost all the lag is by switching the CPU governor to PERFORMANCE for the time I am playing the game, but I have a rooted SIII with cyanogenmod ROM installed....the thing is that it consumes the battery very fast and gets a little hot, but after all it is a big and impressive game

How's your Mate 10 doing?

Hi,
How's your battery life in your Mate 10? Please share some Screenshots and also SOT acquired before depletion.

Good.

If only gaming on PUBG SOT drop to 4h since the game has a drain of 25%/h
I rarely let the battery drop below 20% and charge more than 80% to limit stress on battery, and it last for a full day.
BLA-L29 156C432
Wifi, data, gps, screen rotation always ON.
Cool! There might be differenciation between the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro in terms of SOT because both the phones have a OLED and LCD Screen. I'm easily achieving 6hr 45min of SOT provided that I charge the battery up to 100 percent and a depletion now lesser than 20 percent.
Gaming vice, yes. PUBG is a CPU / GPU hogging game whereby it sucks the most out of it. Depleting battery with a higher temperature is one of the contributing factor to a sturdy battery. GPU Turbo does indeed help in terms of thermal dissipation but then no much can be done since Mate 10 doesn't have the liquid cooling technology.
Yep, I'm using only black/grey background, it can help a lot since screen is like 60% of the drain in normal use.
I forgot to say it was with auto brightness ON too.
For me the mate 10 pro is really good with this game. Best battery drain of all the coworker team when playing, including iPhone 8+, one plus 5t, mate 9, iPhone5s (that just literaly burn in 20 minutes xD). Temperature are good too, since it's just warm like 35-38°C, with higher settings after 30min of game. But I still don't have GPU turbo, dunno why, I don't have the game center app. It was said activating it drains more battery, so I don't really care, I play on Switch and PC, phone are just for little break and 30FPS are far enought for me.
I think 3-4h SOT on handeld gaming is really great, Switch and 3DS don't do far more on demanding games.
My 950XL with liquid cooling got hotter, but Snapdragon 810 had an infamous hot temper too.
It was great but after October google's security update it doesn't seem well (no idea why this happened) and now im wating for pie maybe it gets a bit better
And I use my phone a lot (3 charges a day from 40 to 80 usually) and never lets it's charge drop below 40%

Question Asus Zenfone 8 Flip battery sucks

I am using my new Asus Zenfone 8 Flip the second day. I am disappointed. I use it normally as all my other phones, a bit of videos, a bit of photos, browsing youtube. Half a day battery is flat. The screen was 60 Hz. Battery settings: Optical/Dynamic. Double checked if there is any draining app - nothing found.
All my other phones would work at least three-four times longer (and I had very good phones!). I am disappointed. It is not worth the price.
Battery is fine for me, not worse than op7 before. Although I charge only up to 90%.
But in total, I'm not that happy either - the fingerprint sensor kills it off for me.

After using Xiaomi Mi Max 1, then Mi Max 2 and Mi Max 3 with their unkillable batteries that can work 2 or even 3 days in a row, I wonder how even people pay that money for phones that hardly survive by the end of the day.
Fingerprint sensor sucks too. Indeed.
Has anyone noticed that if you listen music from Spotify or youtube in background with an adapter and you open a game (not an app, only game) the music quality Will lower extremely? It Is really annoying
it shouldn't... powerusage seems quite average.

But for some reason the WiFi test seems worse.

Why don't you just take a Bugreport and upload it here: https://bathist.ef.lc/
Then you would know why battery life sucks

You may press a bit when setup but to unlock you just need to put/touch a little and sensor will scan your fingertips. Easy to unlock

Cannot Check again, I swapped back to op7.
Now, half a year later I am on op9pro ;-)
I just got the 8 Flip and I was also expecting it could last over 24h on my non gaming use.
I installed GSam, Naptime and Greenify to try to save some battery, but I'm still struggling to save battery.
Disable 5G? Just got the phone. first thing I did.. I don't give a f... about 5g..
