By

Samsung Galaxy S III is equipped with ARM Mali-400 MP GPU (overclocked version of Samsung Galaxy S II). So Samsung Galaxy S3 can play Tegra, Snapdragon and PowerVR games with Chainfire3D’s help just like Samsung Galaxy S2. However, Chainfire3D was not updated for quite sometimes. So it does not support the latest NVIDIA Tegra 3 games. Or maybe it does? Anyway, if you have old Tegra 2, Snapdragon and PowerVR games and want to play them on Samsung Galaxy S3. Feel free to install Chainfire3D on Samsung Galaxy S3. Note – root access is required.

To buy or not to buy Asus Transformer Prime TF201? That’s the question… The main point that I plan to buy Asus Transformer Prime ~ NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. I want to try out Tegra 3 games. And plan to use it as notebook replacement since it has keyboard dock. It has micro HDMI output which I can use it to display PowerPoint slides with projector (need to buy micro HDMI to VGA adapter though). Has USB ports and SD carder just like notebook. It should be able to run all the notebook tasks, right? Let’s find out…

“If the phone is in normal use without playing games or calling for long time, the temperature should be around 37°C or 38°C. But if you use your phone to play games or surfing internet for a long time, it will be normal that the temperature rises to around 55°C.“, official statement from HTC.

I was worried after discovered my HTC One X is overheating up to 53.5 °C. Consulted HTC Support. Was asked to do a battery test. And found out that my HTC One X battery is performing well. So I double confirm with HTC Support again. And got the statement as above.

HTC One X battery life test

How is HTC One X battery life? HTC One X has 1800 mAh battery capacity. Based on specification, it is not much for a quad-core smartphone with 4.7″ 720p HD screen. I am not surprise here because HTC always put smaller capacity size battery on its smartphones (compare to competitors). HTC HD2 has 1230 mAh battery capacity only with 4.3″ large screen 3 years ago. And I still manage to get a whole day of battery life on normal usage (on Android 2.3 Gingerbread of course). How about HTC One X battery life? Let’s find out…

HTC One X overheating issue

HTC One X is too hot to handle. Yeah… Just like the new iPad. They share the very same ‘hot’ issue. HTC One X suffers overheating issue on its NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3 and 720p HD Super LCD2 IPS display screen. You will get uncomfortable warmness on the LCD screen and back of the phone (especially near the camera lens) after playing intensive 3D games. Hardcore 3D gamers need to take note on this…

HTC One X overheating issue

Yup, HTC One X battery temperature went up to 53.5 °C after played 3D games for just 20 minutes. For you information, HTC One X battery temperature is around 34 °C during standby. HTC One X overheats easily when playing 3D games. I knew that playing 3D games will overheat as NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3 CPU and GPU are working hard. But was not expecting battery temperature will go up as high as 53.5 °C.

By the way, HTC One X battery temperature easily goes above 40 °C on normal usage like taking shot with camera, watch video clips and listen to MP3. And up to 45 °C when browse Internet with Wi-Fi connection. A ‘hot’ product from HTC indeed…
