Here in the test of Teknologya, you will see if the smartphone can achieve a minimum amount of FPS, which resolution and graphic quality, and show battery life, in the final report, the cell phone will be sorted if it does not play games, or run smoothly.
The list of games we are going to test is:
- Asphalt 8
- Free Fire
- PES 2019
- PUBG
- Subway Surf

Conclusion
In the conclusion of the Smoothly run in the Moto X4, we can say that the smartphone has run most of the games. The smartphone had heat, reports have shown that the processor went from 55° C. This warming is the reason for the dropping of frames in some games, thus lowering their stability.
When a smartphone heats up, it lowers the processor’s frequency to cool it down, so with less “power” it ends up losing the frames that ultimately decreases the stability achieved.
In short, yes the Moto X4 runs, but avoid prolonged gambling. The longer your smartphone is warm, the more it will mainly compromise the battery.
