Multi-tasking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Games Are demanding. Multi-tasking can cause dropped frames. Either learn to do one thing at a time or buy an more expensive mobile phone to support heavy multitasking. On an android phone even running Google Chrome can be a toll on the CPU as chrome keep gets new updates and features which have to be supported by the CPU at the end of the day. So if you are facing Frame drops and Lags and have processes running in background then you must try clearing up everything before starting game.

When we clear all tasks from the multitasking column then we clear some amount of ram which can then be used to give more power to the game so that it can run a bit smoother.

This problem with multi-tasking or less ram mainly occurs with 1GB ram phones. So we do advice you to try and buy phone with ram more than 1 GB.

Game Settings

Most high end games comes with Graphics settings in their setting column in which you can twerk the graphics settings and alter is according to your phones capability. For Example: Asphalt 8: Airborne has very intense graphics to play with but they know that all phones wont’t be able to support such heavy graphics so they have an option in settings in which a consumer can easily choose whether they use high settings or go as down as Low. This helps the phone to support the games easily and also deliver a present experience for customers.

Heat / Overheating

Overheating is one of the major reason why any phone can suffer from Frame Drops specially while gaming on the phone. When ever we play graphics intensive games the cpu and gpu tends to heat up and which leads to Throttling of the cpu so that the cpu or the gpu does not burn. While the throttling occurs there can be a major drop in the performance of the phone as the cpu goes to a under clocked mode. There is no easy fix to this problem but what as an user you can do is try playing such games under controlled environment like in an air conditioned room and if you can feel the phone heating at extreme temperatures then you can try and shutting down the phone for 5 min. which can help a lot. You must keep overheating the phone always in your mind as it is one of the worst way of killing your phone.
