famous brands in gaming phones here in Philippines. but the performance of my phone is not what
I’ve expect. Like, while I’m playing mobile legends when I click the high quality for graphics my phone
starts to lag and delay. Because of that I cannot play well. So, I have to settle in smooth. But the
battery of my device I can say that it is long enough to do what I want to do. It can last up to 2 days.

or why not?
Yes, because my device became slow specially while playing because before I can say that it has good
quality for gaming but when the operating system starts to update that is also the start I encounter
all of the lag, delaying, and the FPS (frames per second). That why it really affects my device
performance.
