I’ve been struggling with severe lag and stuttering on my phone (iQOO Z9x), and it’s driving me insane. The device is barely 4 months old, has an Antutu score of 560K, yet it feels slower than my old 170K Antutu Micromax.
What’s Wrong?
🔹 BGMI runs like a slideshow while my friend’s identical phone works flawlessly.
🔹 UI lags when switching apps or scrolling—feels like a budget phone despite the high specs.
🔹 RAM & storage are barely used, but performance is trash.
🔹 Tried every fix: factory reset, background app killer, extended RAM on/off—NOTHING WORKS.
🔹 Service center just reinstalled software and sent me off. No improvement.
I've tried doing :-
- Cleared cache, disabled bloatware, optimized settings—no luck.
-Ran benchmarks—scores seem fine but real-world performance is garbage.
- Compared with a friend’s same model, same updates, no issues.
What the hell is going on? Is this a software issue, bad optimization, or a hardware defect? Should I push for a replacement at the service center? Any solutions?
