In my observation, the game runs very smoothly during the gameplay in POCO F4 GT even though you set the highest graphics and frame rate. The temperature for POCO F4 GT reached between 38°C and 46°C during the gameplay. After an hour of gaming, POCO F4 GT only consumes about 10% to 32% depending on the graphics demanded for the game itself. 

In my opinion, POCO F4 GT surpasses all the smartphones that feature the Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 888. Thanks to the large dual vapor chamber, POCO F4 GT is doing a very good job in control the temperature during the gameplay. POCO F4 GT is very suitable for the gamers that like to play mobile game as well as gaming live streaming a lot.
