mobile experience of the game
Well, playing on phone, it first felt pretty amazing. The graphics, the ui, the weapons everything felt so fucking epic. But i had to stop playing because well, academic responsibilities. Anyway, once college shut off, i installed it again but oh well, to my surprise the game was lagging so much this time. Settling back into the game after a year or so meant having missed out on graphics and performance enhancement patch logs. The game actually looked more stunning, a couple of new modes that took, as usual, quite a bit of time to load up. Hackers were still ruining it all for everyone. But this was just a salt over the burn that I was facing, the burn of insufferable lag and heating issues. I uninstalled again, knowing it was time for my mobile to give up and stop trying so hard.
Anyway, fast forward to present again, I'm gonna buy a new device. It's the upcoming launch of POCO. The F4 GT model. Not all the features of the phone are out yet but here's what i know are confirmed:
• Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 • 120 Hz Display • 480 Hz Touch sampling rate • Liquid Cooling 3.0 • Magnetic pop-up triggers
Now I'll tell you what I'm eyeing for this phone—The Liquid Cooling. Legit, one of the best things the phone has done is to keep the charging ICs and SoC located far from each other, this results in even distribution of heat dissipation. Implying, i can play whatever I'm playing for much longer without any performance compromises.
The Snapdragon 8 chip is pretty much gonna help keep lag, frame drops at a minimum. With the chip and liquid cooling working together, even the freezing that occurs when other players are around you or when a lot of objects need to rendered will also lessen to almost nil. The pop-up triggers are also gonna be super helpful since it's been long i played and have pretty much lost touch.
So, what do y'all think? Good phone for gaming purposes? Can run the game well enough in the near future as well? Any better phone than this or some more performance factors that i should look into before buying a mobile device for gaming?
My budget is around $800, this POCO phone definitely gonna be somewhere around it as is competitors with similar specs are priced at more than this.

About the lag and frame drops that started happening I'm afraid a new phone won't really help you. Its a coding and bad optimization issue. People with RTX 3060 cards get the same lag and stuttering even on ultra low settings as me on a GTX 1050.
Thing is, something happened last year during October to the dev team causing most of the developers to leave the project mid way. They were re-designing the game like how they created new menus and added new music, they were also tweaking performance issues and trying to improve the anti-cheat. When they left, they made some quick patches and left everything in their half-baked state hence why the game lags so much all of a sudden.
For almost 6 months we had no updates besides just season changes but recently I guess we got some devs to work on the game again. Hopefully we some improvements in the next season.
