This just shows the insane levels of customizability that can take place in the Android ecosystem. It's kind of sad that stuff like this really doesn't pop up much.
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a hard place; I miss the ergonomics of phones designed for the human hand but I could never permanently switch to an outdated product.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.
@@enesjei well 99.7% people who watch this wouldn't do it but it awesome seeing what a cheap phone can be
@@chongxina237 You can at least overclock and use some cooler for phones, gave my phone with sd835 playable genshin gameplay (High) at 30-44fps, although it won't be as consistent as the one in the video

Absolutely loved this video. Need Part 2 now. It's been 2 years.
7:49 "Fuck MIUI Thermal"
I love this community
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 always thought to myself, why do gaming phones need cameras? Just give it a screen, bigger battery, and thermal flow. This guy just nailed the perfect phone every mobile gamers could dream of. Connect your mind to us. We need to make our own gaming phones.
Yeah it you don't need a single photo and you can just buy a real camera you like no lag or heating build a diy gaming phone then but I don't want to I don't have diy experience and putting back all thing I even broke my phone on a battery replacement I just wait for Nintendo switch 2
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

This idea could definitely be commodified. You could sell thousands of modded phones at hugely discounted prices compared to modern flagships, help gamers maximize their bang for bucks and make decent profit yourselves!
A big WIN-WIN!
it wouldn't be that easy. companies will not support the idea of others making money from using their product without their permission. chances they might even get sued.
A formula averting that could certainly be designed. Say you buy the phone standalone, secondhand of course, then having the customization as an add on....

MI 90 pro. Man, you are one brilliant geek.
You should try the same with the Dimensity 9000, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 and Exynos 2200
Would be really interesting to see what you can get out of these SoCs
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

Newer flagships cant be overclocked this much because even without overclock Snapdragon 8 gen 1 already runs with 6.8 watts, overclocking more would melt the cpu
Too expensive,haha.
I had the exact same idea for old phones to turn them into gaming phone. I am very happy to see how you have moded the phone using 3D printer. Thumbs up 👍

@Maroedes but it is cheap especially in the used market its the cheapest sd 855 you can get also it prices similarly to a high end phone from 2016 - 1017 while being about 200% better in performance.
Perfect device. Good idea to boost and don't waste old mobile phone. Thanks.
this video really boost my courage to learn more
this blow flagships out of the water. im jealous i cant do the same to my galaxy s21 ultra.
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
I love seeing crazy smartphone modifications like this again, it's complicated but the benefits and performance offered are not kidding.
Same here!

You said it very well, clean and clear outstanding explanation, salute to you sir!
Would love to see more great content like this
I seriously can't believe this older phone is faster than a newer flagship. 🤯
I guess having good thermals really does make a big difference. 😳
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.
While watching I couldn't stop thinking how sick would be this overclocking with todays flagship. This is insane! And just pay attention this is a 2019 phone, what if we do it on a 2023 phone😱
Need to try this fr

This thing takes an approach I wish manufacturers of gaming phones would adopt.. I mean yeah its cool that a new ROG gaming phone mostly looks like an avg phone, but id be down with an uncoventional phone that has insane fans and coolers and enough battery power to last longer than my bladder can. I think gaming phone makers are too focused on the phone part and not enough on the gaming.
I'm not sure I felt this way yesterday.. But after this video? Things have changed 👌
Yeah....we don't need triple camera on gaming phone... Don't mind a little bulkier design if it give more gaming times..
I guess a handheld android gaming console is nice or better than a dedicated gaming smartphone. They should make it upgradable too just like in PC (enable storage expansion, custom fans, RAM slots, annnnnnnd eGPU for mobile).

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.

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.
This is extremely cool, I love how just when I thought they were done, they took it to the next level! I would love to see this with a modern flagship to see just how insane you could push the bar. Oh and you definitely earned my subscription after this, super interesting!
This makes me so nostalgic for 2013 when most flagships still got exploits for root/bootloader unlocks. It was a magical time. I still remember S-OFF on my HTC DNA and M7, and overclocking them. It was fun. Thanks for bringing me back.
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.
@@2timegarza583 Thats why I always import phones from China, I need root, I need xposed framework and magisk to use the phone like real Android. Most of Xiaomi's phone, if not all, are unlockable and rootable. Also OnePlus and RedMagic.

Bro this guy is so awesome!
Wow, great job man. I have just switched from SD855 to SD888 and I don't feel any performance differences at all. Flagship phones are getting worse and worse during this days...
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
It honestly shows how capable flagship hardware is just hindered by form factor housing constraints.
These phones easily could outperform Nintendo switch if the software was optimized properly and the hardware room to breath and vent out the heat so performance can be sustained.
Yea it is true but the general public want looks and feels aka aesthetics too and that comes with a cost aka what we witnessed here... I barely see any phone that's super thick anymore or ones with vents like super old Samsung galaxy stuff like the one made here, I mean I'd love something like that just noone else wants it cuz comfort factor and also with the vents come a drawback aka no water resistance or water proofing yk. It has its drawbacks but for me it's worth it, but for the general public? nah and so sales go down and the product will be at loss because people will go find something else that they like better bla bla hence we're here at this point, pretty sad honestly
Read my name
Think abt this too. A quest 2 headset is basically a phone strapped to ur head plus it runs 120fps with cooling and good performance. My s21 ultra has 12 gigs of ram too. If we just take all the things that makes these phones so powerful and maybe we could get a truly probable and convenient gaming handheld
@@ohnobro2394 well there is the steam deck which is pretty powerful but then again it's not as affordable for most either especially when factoring the price increases for the extra storage variants compared to the base model.
That said its going to take some switch users away without a doubt then add on xcloud from the otherside if the isle and Nintendo is in for a rough road ahead.
@@earnmoneyonline2756 no one gives a shit what your name is.
Now that is what I call a tech channel.
Impressive software and hardware engineering.
I prefer the horizontal layout, like the Gamesir X2 for example (maybe for the v2?) but man, this was impressive! You guys really nailed it! Wow!

Every time I see this video it gets better. The production of a diy gaming handheld like that is a marvel to watch
Good job, pretty interesting video
This is awesome something creative and unique
I tried this project on an old redmi k20/mi 9t and replaced the motherboard with one from mi 9t pro/k20 pro. It works flawlessly, but it has a lot more adaptations that you have to do in order for everything to work. Especially in making the firmware recognize the extra capacity. Your mileage may vary since k20 pro has two variants - 855 (plain) and 855+ (pro premium), the latter being hardware locked up to 692MHz. I really appreciate the incredible effort in producing this video. It is kinda difficult to adapt such a project to other phones but is incredibly doable. The sky is the limit.
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?
THIS IS SO HIGH QUALITY! The edit, the info and the content! So so high quality
bro just showing us what a fan can do
Great video!) I'll think about doing something similar with my old pixel 4!
Lmao😂 12:49 you looked exactly like Elon Musk right there. Great video btw, well done👏 subbed.
Now this is a proper gaming phone. Companies like Asus, Xiaomi, Red Magic only throw in an external air cooler that cools very little and call it a gaming phone while they have exactly the same performance as regular flagship phones. I wish they did something like this
Therefore, the game mobile phone is a false demand, and the small fan is useless.
wow thats great vidmate keep it up nw doo one for a gaming tablet
you should really make a refresh of this video, with the same concept, a really cheap phone with a flagship processor tuned to the moon and back.
A 2024 version, or maybe one every year.
