It's cool but impractical for most people. I'd rather spend more money for the sake of simplicity, but I understand that some people prefer tinkering for the sake of curiosity (or saving money).

@@enesjei it's beyond that. I wouldn't ever buy this phone, but I'm glad that it exists. It represents a level of creativity in design that's completely absent in the modern smartphone climate. People don't really want to change what a smartphone is anymore, but I personally hate the current state of phone design. We all basically carry portable TV's that are designed in a way that is impossible to hold comfortably. It's a rock and a hard place; I miss the ergonomics of phones designed for the human hand but I could never permanently switch to an outdated product. I think the phone market is hungry for something in between, but no one wants to take risks in this highly competitive space. So stuff like this, basic and niche as it is, is exciting to me if only as some semblance of innovation.

You’re talking about a cheaper ROG phone 🤣

All is fun and games until your CPU starts burning from heat. When CPU (or in this case SoC chip) reaches certain temperature it will do something called thermal throttling which means that it reduces it’s power in order to protect itself from heat damage. If you somehow manage to set it in the way it ignores heat and high temperatures you’re CPU can literally burn alive.

​@@Nameisnotimportant that's why he slapped a fricking fan on that device. You need ROOT access to make any changes to the software at that level. So, safe to say it's not a concern for many but if they are reckless enough to temper with their device using root while being clueless then it's GG for the device.

@@basantatamang2249 It’s not a concern until that “freaking fan” works and until users have enough brain cells to tune it’s power in the way that the fan will be actually able to cool it down enough to not catch on fire.

@@Nameisnotimportant Yeah, Even I would be surprised if Normal non-techy people can flash custom recovery without soft bricking it. Let alone them figure out TDP of their device and making appropriate Cooling for it.

@@basantatamang2249 TDP ??? Well if you’re going to overclock, disable thermal throttling and have powerful chip then i don’t even know if motherboard could actually handle that much power.

I think what you are looking for probably has another name:" Handheld game console"

Sounds great but if you base it on consumers demands, producing phones like you just mentioned aren't worth it. Great videogames are on PC and developers can better develop their games on PC too, so smartphone manufacturers dont really have enough reasons to build phones like that.

@@lowkeyweeb2929 i think for competitive games like cod mobile, PUBG mobile, lol wr, and the new recent apex legend kinda changing the whole market a lil bit. The fact that game company porting their game into mobile is an indication that are money to be made of from mobile game. Which means that are people that considering gaming on a phone is a viable choice. I think why phone gaming become more popular is because PC is a stationary thing and building one right now kinda expensive ( GPU prices that won't coming down sooner or later) laptop is expensive pieces, console that got hoarded pretty often, and games that are expensive. so people using their phone as a gaming console to compensate for that. For the future of gaming phone, imho i would say Is kinda bright.

@@dawnthe9674 the problem is handheld console cycle is long

it will be nice to see, but in order to do this the prerequisite is that there must be established software to do the overclocking of the GPU, screen and stop the thermal throttle, if that is not done yet i doubt they can make an overclocked version of that SoC

Most smartphone limiting factor has always been heat. You dump electrons into 5nm silicone, so the energy change is electric ---> heat.

Thermals are always very important, but it's very rarely talked about unless you're a (real) nerd. You can, and I have undervolted my PC GPU, which gives me less "power" but butter performance, because less heat means less throttle means better performance.

The screen refresh rate can't do the same with Samsung S21 ultra either. The S21 screen has a refresh rate of 120hz.. Meaning you can crank games up to 120 Frames Per Second and see all those frames

Yeah 😶

Same also do you know the name of that game hes playing? wanna start playing it

@Aadikar Bhandari Probably that's a bot. I keep seeing generic comments in YT lately

As a little advice. I had to replace my S20+ battery a few months back and i had the idea of putting some high quality thermal paste (Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut) under the CPU into the frane and the cpu temperatures droped by at least 7°C

If only we could "like" a video more so it could pop up better than all the other nonsense we don't care for like already overpriced cameras we don't really care to use or folding overpriced tech, etc

If only flagship phones were more repair & modding-friendly like the Fairphone.

@@handlemonium Yeah, the modular design of the Fairphone is just brilliant and the fact that you can buy original spare parts straight from their website is just amazing.

Looking at their page instantly tells me that the Fairphone 3+ is available in my region. And the specs look fine. Dual-sim, microSD slot, decent storage. Next question would be how it is on the software side. How much bloat is on there, how easy is it to root, can the governor be tweaked to ones use profile, etc. And about likes in a video: interacting with it in form of comments already calls onto the algorithm to push the video.

Well, kirin die so there is no point for snapdragon to improve anymore. But there is mediatek this year so maybe they r gonna improve again

It may be the optimizations dat causing it depending on wat ui ur on

or they just overclocking and rename it

yes! Qualcomm is too terrible!

SD888 and SD865's GPU architecture are same, and the IPC improvement is due to the frequency increase of memory (LPDDR5 5500MHz to LPDDR5 6400MHz). What's more, it seems that TSMC's N7P technology's power efficency is better than Samsung's 5LPE technology

I miss them days honestly reason I had android samsung phones hardly get rooted nowadays especially snapdragon models

Agreed, it was a nice memory when I was an early adopter of Android phones starting with the grand-daddy HTC G1. At some point, Android became more and more walled that I just moved to iOS for simplicity. People are still saying Android phones are "customizable" but nowadays you can't really do as much as the early days, especially when the companies don't provide the necessary files they used.

Could you share what voltage you used for 840Mhz in the GPU overclock? Or did you not tweak that? Thanks

@@mantistsai6457 I used the highest available voltage...I managed to get to 850MHz

Cool. And can you share your cooling solution? Graphite sheet? Fan?

@@mantistsai6457 I pretty much applied the video for my cooling system. I milled myself an aluminum heatsink with 1mm spacing between the fins to fit between the phone frame and the camera bump. I used thermal pads to contact it to the ESD shielding of the motherboard, and made a nice cutout on the plastic cover of the motherboard. I also drilled a few holes in thay heatsink so that it can be screwed to the motherboard screws, and bought longer 1.4mm screws to compliment them. I bought a tiny 2A boost converter (the one used in the video is only 600mA and it burnt out on me) to boost my battery voltage up to 9v so my temperature controlled fan controller (zhiyu zf-3L) can ramp up my tiny 5v blower fan to blow useful cooling, from 35°C probed on the heatsink, to full speed at 40°C. This was done so that I can build myself a full case instead of having fully exposed circuitry on the back cover About the battery, having 3 batteries is too much compromise for daily use. Phone is too bulky and heavy, so I stuck with 2 batteries instead. I made sure to give those batteries a solid spot weld for nickel strips of which to solder wires on, so the connection is secure. Then I encountered a fair bit of tinkering with magisk modules to make my phone charge up to 8000mAh.

Hello there. I am also interested in this kind of project, I just upgraded my battery but could you share the magisk module you used in order to change the battery capacity?

Probably will never happen. 5k phones are too badly specced to begin with, and not much community support for modding, unless it's an overly hyped phone. If you can't root it, let alone unlock the bootloader, you cant really do much but deal with absurdly bad hardware and software. Most 5k phones cant do that, especially if it is not Xiaomi made.
