This just shows the insane levels of customizability that can take place in the Android ecosystem. It's kind of sad that stuff like this really doesn't pop up much.

[@enesjei]

It's cool but impractical for most people. I'd rather spend more money for the sake of simplicity, but I understand that some people prefer tinkering for the sake of curiosity (or saving money).

[@bobbymiller7242]

@@enesjei it's beyond that. I wouldn't ever buy this phone, but I'm glad that it exists. It represents a level of creativity in design that's completely absent in the modern smartphone climate. People don't really want to change what a smartphone is anymore, but I personally hate the current state of phone design. We all basically carry portable TV's that are designed in a way that is impossible to hold comfortably. It's a rock and a hard place; I miss the ergonomics of phones designed for the human hand but I could never permanently switch to an outdated product. I think the phone market is hungry for something in between, but no one wants to take risks in this highly competitive space. So stuff like this, basic and niche as it is, is exciting to me if only as some semblance of innovation.

All is fun and games until your CPU starts burning from heat. When CPU (or in this case SoC chip) reaches certain temperature it will do something called thermal throttling which means that it reduces it’s power in order to protect itself from heat damage. If you somehow manage to set it in the way it ignores heat and high temperatures you’re CPU can literally burn alive.

[@basantatamang2249]

​@@Nameisnotimportant that's why he slapped a fricking fan on that device. You need ROOT access to make any changes to the software at that level. So, safe to say it's not a concern for many but if they are reckless enough to temper with their device using root while being clueless then it's GG for the device.

[@Nameisnotimportant]

Sounds great but if you base it on consumers demands, producing phones like you just mentioned aren't worth it. Great videogames are on PC and developers can better develop their games on PC too, so smartphone manufacturers dont really have enough reasons to build phones like that.

[@jika8895]

@@lowkeyweeb2929 i think for competitive games like cod mobile, PUBG mobile, lol wr, and the new recent apex legend kinda changing the whole market a lil bit. The fact that game company porting their game into mobile is an indication that are money to be made of from mobile game. Which means that are people that considering gaming on a phone is a viable choice. I think why phone gaming become more popular is because PC is a stationary thing and building one right now kinda expensive ( GPU prices that won't coming down sooner or later) laptop is expensive pieces, console that got hoarded pretty often, and games that are expensive. so people using their phone as a gaming console to compensate for that.

Yea and the new snapdragon chip is running so hot its better to have a snapdragon 888 to game because it doesnt get as hot

[@ryanchristian570]

@@recruit7416 yeah, what's more if you customize your device's Casing to be just like in the video which provides a nice airflow then you'll gain even better stability during prolong heavy usage or have more room for overclocking your sd 888.

[@HyperCapricorn4516]

This was a treat to watch. Now that you got a budget "bang for the buck" custom phone out of the way, how about doing a full blown all out high performance phone with the latest and greatest hardware like the 8 gen 1 and then pushing that one to its absolute limit with no cost limits.

[@kieranaldridge7449]

I completely agree. I'd love to see what they can do pushing the latest tech from the newest flagships to the max! Especially with some of these 165hz panels we're getting now!

[@Zysperro]

@@arc_hive9028 no it's not. PCs and phones are two very different things, you have A LOT of space to place and cool your parts in PC, whilst in phone everything is cramped together in a small box, most of everyday users don't need this. And customizable hardware in phones didn't work exactly because of heat btw.

This is a Technological Marvel on KZbin history! More power to you! Makes me realise how much we need custom mobile manufacturers to cater every distinct group's needs.. and Big Players making us a fool in the name of chipset

[@maazshaikh5283]

They are not making us fools completely. We need better thermals on a smartphone to get the actual performance of a chipset. You can watch mrwhosetheboss's video to know more.

[@DivithChhajed]

@@maazshaikh5283 I've already watched the video, and thanks for your reply.. and what I mean by making us fool is, the chip manufacturers dumping us new silicon every year with higher stability and efficiency, and all phone manufacturers shipping us those without addressing the bottleneck.. absolutely we need better thermals and software integration and optimisation..

@@reddyprahlad Dial it down brother, as much as I agree that there is a lot more technically sound content available on KZbin, I believe this is a very informative video for a layman (therefore a larger audience) by him, not just to show how to overclock the software but also acknowledge the long existing hardware bottle-neck, and to take it up as a backyard-project.. I believe it's a great step in the right direction to inspire a lot of us and other YTubers towards customization.

[@CriticalTechReviews]

This makes me so nostalgic for 2013 when most flagships still got exploits for root/bootloader unlocks. It was a magical time. I still remember S-OFF on my HTC DNA and M7, and overclocking them. It was fun. Thanks for bringing me back.

[@2timegarza583]

I miss them days honestly reason I had android samsung phones hardly get rooted nowadays especially snapdragon models

[@ashigarashimo]

Agreed, it was a nice memory when I was an early adopter of Android phones starting with the grand-daddy HTC G1. At some point, Android became more and more walled that I just moved to iOS for simplicity. People are still saying Android phones are "customizable" but nowadays you can't really do as much as the early days, especially when the companies don't provide the necessary files they used.

[@dotSlashZ]

@@2timegarza583 Thats why I always import phones from China, I need root, I need xposed framework and magisk to use the phone like real Android. Most of Xiaomi's phone, if not all, are unlockable and rootable. Also OnePlus and RedMagic.
