hot at 50°C. 143 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Moving on to Genshin Impact, probably another phone 144 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that greatly handles Genshin Impact is an iPhone. 145 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I was able to set to 120 FPS on this phone 146 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and it gave me a really good satisfying experience. 147 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Playing for 30 minutes on this game, 148 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 when were fighting bosses, on some other phones 149 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 even on flagship level, there are some skips or lags 150 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that you'll feel, but here, there's almost zero lags. 151 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I didn't feel any lags here. 152 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Except another thing, it's also hot at around 51°C. 153 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I would recommend you to buy a cooler. 154 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 On Call of Duty Mobile, you can also set it 155 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to all high settings, both max. 156 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And the gameplay is definitely smooth. 157 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You won't feel any lags, its

speaker. 161 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Expect to give you a good gaming experience. 162 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And after 30 minutes, its maximum heat is 45°C. 163 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Let's talk about the camera on the back. 164 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 48MP main camera sensor with sensor-shift OIS. 165 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 12MP ultra wide lens with 120° FoV. 166 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Can let you shoot up to 4K and 60 FPS. 167 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The front-facing camera is a 12MP with PDAF. 168 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It also acts as a depth and biometric sensor. 169 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It can also shoot up to 4K and 60 FPS. 170 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now guys, I'll show you quickly how to use 171 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 its camera control button. 172 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 One of the things that I don't like about it 173 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is that when we're holding it like this, 174 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the button is kind of far from my finger. 175 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you want to use this button, you normally need 176 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to hold it like this just to take a photo 177 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which is very unusual. 178 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I like to hold it like this better. 179 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The button should have been here, 180 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 like the shoulder triggers of REDMAGIC 181 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so that you can easily snap very easily. 182 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Unlike here, it's kind of far, my finger can't reach it. 183 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Except if your finger is longer, maybe you'll reach it. 184 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But the shutter button is kind of far for me. 185 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There's a lot of things that you can do here. 186 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Basically if you want to call you camera, 187 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which I set to double press so I won't accidentally press 188 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and open my camera. 189 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So double press to activate my camera. 190 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you activate it, this would be the last menu. 191 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What I set here is its zooming capability. 192 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You can use it like this or what others do 193 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is light press, two press, 194 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you'll see all of the different functions. 195 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Like you can adjust the depth, the exposure, 196 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 or you can use the zoom, then cameras, 197 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 its different lenses like ultra wide and zoom lens, 198 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 styles, and you can also use tone. 199 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 On cameras, I don't think it's
