Hey everyone!

It has now been around 45 days since I started using the iQOO Z11x, and one thing I really wanted to test again was whether the device developed any heating issues over time or not.

Many smartphones perform well initially, but after weeks of usage, some devices start showing:

> More heat during gaming

> Faster battery drain

> Performance drops

> Thermal throttling

So today, after 45 days of regular usage, I decided to push the iQOO Z11x again with a proper extended gaming session to check whether the thermal performance is still consistent or not.

And honestly the results were impressive. 

 Gaming Setup Used

For this test, I used the phone at its absolute maximum performance settings:

• Highest FPS available
• Graphics settings set to High
• Monster Mode: ON
• Esports Mode: ON
• Full performance mode enabled

Basically, the device was pushed to its full potential for the entire session.

 2 Hours Straight Free Fire MAX Gameplay

I played Free Fire MAX continuously for 2 hours straight without breaks to properly check:

• Heat management
• Battery efficiency
• Stability after long-term usage

 Temperature Before Gaming

Before starting the gaming session, I checked the device temperature using CPU-Z.

📌 Initial Temperature: 31.6°C

📌 Battery Level: 48%

 Temperature After 2 Hours Gaming

After completing the session:

📌 Final Temperature: 32.6°C

📌 Battery Level: 27%

 Battery Drain Analysis

Battery dropped from:

🔋 48% → 27%

➡️ Total drain: 21% in 2 hours

Considering:

• High FPS gaming
• Monster Mode enabled
• Esports Mode enabled
• Continuous heavy gameplay
• Battery already below 50%

…the battery backup still felt quite stable and expected for this level of performance.

 Heating Performance After 45 Days – The Biggest Surprise

This was honestly the most impressive part of the test.

Even after:

• 45 days of usage
• Continuous 2-hour gaming
• Full performance mode
• Maximum graphics & FPS

…the phone still showed almost no noticeable heating.

The temperature increased by only around 1°C, which is genuinely impressive for such an intensive gaming session.

The device never became uncomfortable to hold, and the gameplay remained smooth throughout the entire session.

•  No overheating issues
•  No uncomfortable warmth
•  No major frame drops
•  No thermal throttling noticed

 Final Thoughts After 45 Days

After using the iQOO Z11x for around 45 days now, I can confidently say that the device is still maintaining its strong thermal performance.

A lot of phones slowly start heating more after weeks of usage, especially during gaming, but the iQOO Z11x still feels properly optimized.

The heat management, stability, and gaming consistency are honestly making it feel like one of the best-performing devices in its segment even after extended daily usage.

For users who do long gaming sessions regularly, the thermal optimization here definitely deserves appreciation.
