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a hard place; I miss the ergonomics of phones designed for the human hand but I could never permanently switch to an outdated product.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.

Now that I saw the same idea in practice, I'm really excited and was blow away by how amazing it really is! Thanks for making the idea came to light it will make these companies who're obsessed with phone slimness to consider adding a bunch of useful stuff than being slim.
@@recruit7416 yeah, what's more if you customize your device's Casing to be just like in the video which provides a nice airflow then you'll gain even better stability during prolong heavy usage or have more room for overclocking your sd 888.
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.
I don't know about you guys but my brother recommend this video for me and i enjoyed every second just WOW!! You just opened a new life hack to me man I'll definitely try this out, I'm very thankful for this amazing video man, you just got yourself a loyal subscriber 👍
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
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
This was a treat to watch. Now that you got a budget "bang for the buck" custom phone out of the way, how about doing a full blown all out high performance phone with the latest and greatest hardware like the 8 gen 1 and then pushing that one to its absolute limit with no cost limits.
I completely agree. I'd love to see what they can do pushing the latest tech from the newest flagships to the max! Especially with some of these 165hz panels we're getting now!
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.
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.
@@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?
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
Mediatek not run emulator smoothly, remember them only recenly open source on 1100 and beyond series me use 1200 opensource Aether-X play metal gear game lag so bad meanwhile enought with snapdragon 860 can run greatly
I've been overclocking old android flagships for a while and most of the time, they works well. Though some backdraws like temp cramping up to 60c and battery draining super quick. Always have the thought of adding inbuilt cooling fan like how you did, but i just didnt have the proper tools. Though it's great seeing someone actually did this.
A smile was on my face the whole time watching this video because this guy knows very well what he is doing unlike many other RUclipsrs. I want to see the clock cycles of a15 bionic when doing stuff like rendering and playing games and how it runs so cool and drains less power
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!
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....
@@iChriZGaming and how are things going at saleen or hennesey. You know it is bad if you have to bring up company known for taking parts from customers cars to build another car. Selling modded phones is cool only in theory, when you include Labor no one will buy that.
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
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.
Excellent delivery, high production value, and unique content. This is solid! Keep up the good work. Something tells me that you will be very successful. Best of luck.
Guess why they chose the Snapdragon 855 chip over the more powerful 865 as a digital channel, if they still want to receive the latest Snapdragon phones, they can't do something like this to "humiliate" Snapdragon!
finally , someone put a real cooler for ultimate performance , this video was so unbelievable , everything was explained perfectly , im speechless , just WOW but for the part where u say your snap dragon 855 was faster when overclocked over the snap 8 gen 1 , if u overclock the latest tech parts , gpu , cpu and do everything the same u will get much more performance than the phone that u just modified and overclcoked , but its still ... SO impressive !
This is a Technological Marvel on RUclips history! More power to you! Makes me realise how much we need custom mobile manufacturers to cater every distinct group's needs.. and Big Players making us a fool in the name of chipset
They are not making us fools completely. We need better thermals on a smartphone to get the actual performance of a chipset. You can watch mrwhosetheboss's video to know more.
@@maazshaikh5283 I've already watched the video, and thanks for your reply.. and what I mean by making us fool is, the chip manufacturers dumping us new silicon every year with higher stability and efficiency, and all phone manufacturers shipping us those without addressing the bottleneck.. absolutely we need better thermals and software integration and optimisation..
@@reddyprahlad Dial it down brother, as much as I agree that there is a lot more technically sound content available on RUclips, I believe this is a very informative video for a layman (therefore a larger audience) by him, not just to show how to overclock the software but also acknowledge the long existing hardware bottle-neck, and to take it up as a backyard-project.. I believe it's a great step in the right direction to inspire a lot of us and other YTubers towards customization.
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!
The amount of joy I got watching you create and design this from someone whi doesn't even mobile game is insane. What a badass little build amazing work man!
I think it shows that with proper cooling solution, better management of cpu & gpu frequency, an old flagship can still be usable in today's games. This is absolutely amazing. Imagine what these modifications can do to newer chips these days. Shame most phone manufacturers doesn't provide proper cooling to phones without raising the cost too much.
technically any smart phone that can run apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc, then it's got the smart part of the smart TV. All that's missing is coax... and... ew. So yeah. If you mean something else, please explain
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...
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
Stumbled across this video accidentally whilst looking for emulation on various flagships compared to things like Red Magic 7. This video had me hooked and just shows how much power there is in our smartphones. Subscribed immediately!
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 👌
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).
What a project tho... I'd wanna see extreme clocking tbh for 60fps Genshin impact but still I've never seen someone getting this tech savvy on mobile chips and whatnot... Hats off!
You also can use the usb otg for connecting ssd and extend memory of the phone, or others devices like usb hubs, mouses, keyboards, gamepads, gaming steering wheel, microphone, usb to lan adapter

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.
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.
I put so many different ROMs on my HTC Evo 4g, I too miss those early days when it was easy to root and there was a lot of support for custom ROMs and useful apps that needed Root
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😱
The content i always think of whenever i see custom build of pc so i imagine why not smartphone really appreciate this content as to see the limits of smartphone hardware
@@arc_hive9028 no it's not. PCs and phones are two very different things, you have A LOT of space to place and cool your parts in PC, whilst in phone everything is cramped together in a small box, most of everyday users don't need this. And customizable hardware in phones didn't work exactly because of heat btw.

Now that I saw the same idea in practice, I'm really excited and was blow away by how amazing it really is! Thanks for making the idea came to light it will make these companies who're obsessed with phone slimness to consider adding a bunch of useful stuff than being slim.

Yea and the new snapdragon chip is running so hot its better to have a snapdragon 888 to game because it doesnt get as hot
@@recruit7416 yeah, what's more if you customize your device's Casing to be just like in the video which provides a nice airflow then you'll gain even better stability during prolong heavy usage or have more room for overclocking your sd 888.
How did this video not go viral? What this man accomplished is legendary.
2 million views yeah definitely not viral
@@ziyad26 ngl its still kinda little for what he did in this video
I mean it is currently sitting at 2.6 million views.

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 👍
ruclips.net/video/JrKnxAlYmyU/видео.html
@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.
I don't know about you guys but my brother recommend this video for me and i enjoyed every second just WOW!! You just opened a new life hack to me man
I'll definitely try this out, I'm very thankful for this amazing video man, you just got yourself a loyal subscriber 👍
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
This is an absolutely amazing vid! As a technician I know how much effort this was. This is truly a great video
guf
that's what real "gaming" smartphone looks like. developers you can take it as an example.
Size problem
@@raamraamji1899 Professional gamers nowadays use iPad pros and you talki' about size problem?
@@krishnachoubey8648 they are slim
this is absolutely insane! also so motivating; congrats for the hard work
Lmao😂 12:49 you looked exactly like Elon Musk right there. Great video btw, well done👏 subbed.
This was a treat to watch. Now that you got a budget "bang for the buck" custom phone out of the way, how about doing a full blown all out high performance phone with the latest and greatest hardware like the 8 gen 1 and then pushing that one to its absolute limit with no cost limits.
I completely agree. I'd love to see what they can do pushing the latest tech from the newest flagships to the max! Especially with some of these 165hz panels we're getting now!
@@kieranaldridge7449 Im guessing not only is the color quality gonna be better
but also it being as fast(almost) as a $500 laptop
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.
its already been 2yrs and algorithm made me watch it again ❤
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?
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
@@EriX88888 u r a genius
@@unknown-6664 is common sense lol, even said in the video
@@r32juan i dont understand these things even in the video so, for me he is a genius 🔥🤔🙁
Mediatek not run emulator smoothly, remember them only recenly open source on 1100 and beyond series me use 1200 opensource Aether-X play metal gear game lag so bad meanwhile enought with snapdragon 860 can run greatly
I've been overclocking old android flagships for a while and most of the time, they works well. Though some backdraws like temp cramping up to 60c and battery draining super quick. Always have the thought of adding inbuilt cooling fan like how you did, but i just didnt have the proper tools. Though it's great seeing someone actually did this.
60C on CPU is literally fine
@@TheRealNightShot Your hands is not fine holding that lmao
@@rocky-zx6kq Yes. But I don’t hold the cpu. I hold the phone. And at worst the surface gets to 50, which is uncomfortable, but not dangerous.
@@TheRealNightShot Yes, but for the battery 60 C is destructive.
@@HeX341 Battery in fact will never reach 60C on its entire surface.
Please make a video using even more old phone. This video is the number 1 in my DIY list of all time.
A smile was on my face the whole time watching this video because this guy knows very well what he is doing unlike many other RUclipsrs. I want to see the clock cycles of a15 bionic when doing stuff like rendering and playing games and how it runs so cool and drains less power

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....
@@iChriZGaming and how are things going at saleen or hennesey. You know it is bad if you have to bring up company known for taking parts from customers cars to build another car.
Selling modded phones is cool only in theory, when you include Labor no one will buy that.
@@e11even-o1p It's not an iPhone. Once you bought a product it's yours, right?
this was just such a fun video! kudos!!
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
Youre the only guy i can find that has properly modified a phone, good job man
Excellent delivery, high production value, and unique content. This is solid! Keep up the good work. Something tells me that you will be very successful. Best of luck.
Guess why they chose the Snapdragon 855 chip over the more powerful 865 as a digital channel, if they still want to receive the latest Snapdragon phones, they can't do something like this to "humiliate" Snapdragon!
Amazing, oneday we will found the android tuning kits like a motorcycle tuning kits in the online store.😂

Every time I see this video it gets better. The production of a diy gaming handheld like that is a marvel to watch
finally , someone put a real cooler for ultimate performance , this video was so unbelievable , everything was explained perfectly , im speechless , just WOW
but for the part where u say your snap dragon 855 was faster when overclocked over the snap 8 gen 1 , if u overclock the latest tech parts , gpu , cpu and do everything the same u will get much more performance than the phone that u just modified and overclcoked , but its still ... SO impressive !
MI 90 pro. Man, you are one brilliant geek.
This is so cool! I never thought that the screen of a phone can be overclocked. This is the first time I've heard about that!

This is a Technological Marvel on RUclips history! More power to you! Makes me realise how much we need custom mobile manufacturers to cater every distinct group's needs.. and Big Players making us a fool in the name of chipset
They are not making us fools completely. We need better thermals on a smartphone to get the actual performance of a chipset. You can watch mrwhosetheboss's video to know more.
@@maazshaikh5283 I've already watched the video, and thanks for your reply.. and what I mean by making us fool is, the chip manufacturers dumping us new silicon every year with higher stability and efficiency, and all phone manufacturers shipping us those without addressing the bottleneck.. absolutely we need better thermals and software integration and optimisation..
@@DivithChhajed they need MONEY
You haven't watched the real tech on yt probably. This is amateur stuff. Anybody with rooting n tweaking skills can do this. Tech Marvel my foot
@@reddyprahlad Dial it down brother, as much as I agree that there is a lot more technically sound content available on RUclips, I believe this is a very informative video for a layman (therefore a larger audience) by him, not just to show how to overclock the software but also acknowledge the long existing hardware bottle-neck, and to take it up as a backyard-project.. I believe it's a great step in the right direction to inspire a lot of us and other YTubers towards customization.
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 sounds like a fun project for an older phone. Not a big loss if you break something but can be fun to tinker around.
nice name
I think it shows that with proper cooling solution, better management of cpu & gpu frequency, an old flagship can still be usable in today's games. This is absolutely amazing. Imagine what these modifications can do to newer chips these days. Shame most phone manufacturers doesn't provide proper cooling to phones without raising the cost too much.

هي يا زول جابك هنا شنو 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's some insane engineering. Kudos to you.
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

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).

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.
