Tips to Avoid Lagging and Heating While Playing High-End Games on Your OPPO Device
1. Use Game Space or HyperBoost
OPPO devices come with Game Space or HyperBoost, designed to optimize CPU, GPU, and RAM usage during gaming.
📍 How to enable:
Go to [Settings] > [Special Features] > Game Space (or Game Assistant)
Add your games to the list and enable Performance Mode
This prioritizes system resources for your game and blocks unwanted notifications for uninterrupted play.
2. Keep Your Device Software Updated
Regular software updates from OPPO include system optimizations and performance enhancements that can improve gaming stability.
📍 Check for updates:
[Settings] > [About Device] > [Software Update]
3. Avoid Playing While Charging
Playing games while charging can lead to excessive heat buildup and affect battery health. Try to play only when your phone is adequately charged.
4. Close Background Apps
Running multiple apps in the background consumes RAM and processing power, which may lead to lag.
📍 To close apps:
Tap the Recent Apps button and swipe away unused apps
Or use [Phone Manager] > [Optimize] > Clear Background Apps
5. Use Wi-Fi for Online Gaming
For online games, Wi-Fi usually offers a more stable and faster connection than mobile data, reducing latency and lag.
6. Lower In-Game Graphics Settings
If you notice frame drops, try reducing the graphics settings within the game. Lowering texture quality, resolution, or effects can improve frame rate and responsiveness.
7. Give Your Device a Break
Extended gaming sessions can cause any device to heat up. To avoid thermal throttling:
Take short breaks between matches
Avoid playing under direct sunlight or in hot environments
8. Avoid Using Thick or Insulated Cases While Gaming
Phone cases can trap heat during intense gaming. Consider removing the case or using a heat-dissipating one.
9. Clean Up Storage and Cache
Limited storage or cluttered cache files can affect performance.
📍 Use Phone Manager:
Go to [Phone Manager] > [Clean Storage] > Clear Cache and Junk Files
