I’ve noticed something similar with the recent update. I haven’t run in-depth benchmarks, but in games like Genshin Impact, the frame drops seem more frequent after about 30 minutes, and the back of the phone gets noticeably warmer. Some users on Telegram were sharing CPU throttling test results—looks like there’s a steeper dropoff after 15-20 minutes with performance dipping close to 70% of max, compared to around 80-85% before the update. Ambient temps definitely play a part, but the shift seems too big to chalk up to just weather.
Anyone tried disabling some background services or using a game mode for a more stable experience? Also, if possible, could someone share a side-by-side from Geekbench, 3DMark, or CPU Throttling Test pre- and post-update? Real-world usage stats would be super helpful to get a clearer picture of what’s changed and if it’s just throttling curves or something deeper.
