Issue Summary:

After the most recent software update, I’ve noticed that my iQOO 12 frequently heats up during regular usage — especially while charging and during gaming sessions (e.g., BGMI, COD Mobile, Genshin Impact). This heating was not present or was much more controlled prior to the update.



Detailed Observations:

  • While Charging:
  • The phone gets noticeably warm within 10–15 minutes of plugging in, even when idle or screen is off.
  • Charging via the original 120W charger.
  • While Gaming:
  • Device heats up rapidly within the first 10–20 minutes.
  • Frame drops and thermal throttling are noticeable after extended gameplay.
  • Happens even on medium settings, which previously ran fine.
  • General Usage:
  • Even basic tasks (browsing, YouTube, etc.) seem to make the phone warmer than usual.
  • No background apps running that could explain the load.
