The Pro model is equipped with the Dimensity 8400 Ultra Chipset and Mali-G720 MC6 GPU, resulting in improved performance for high-end graphics and resource-intensive gaming applications compared to the base model. Additionally, it includes the WildBoost Optimization 3.0 gaming engine, which is designed to enhance frame-rate performance and help conserve battery life during mobile gaming sessions.

Does the phone become very hot during intensive usage?

While running AnTuTu benchmark tests, we recorded an approximate temperature of around 35-36°C when measuring temperatures on the back of the device, particularly around sensitive areas like the camera module and the plastic back cover. This result is impressive and demonstrates effective thermal management.

Although this isn’t a conclusive finding—especially with a phone composed of a plastic body—but it strongly suggests that the cooling system is efficient and does not impact the phone’s outer shell. As a result, the device is unlikely to overheat too much when held or stored in a pocket, which can be quite unpleasant.
