    Personalize image quality settings 

    Tune your image quality settings on a game-by-game basis to gain an edge over your opponents. You can also save multiple presets and switch between them to save time or keep your settings consistent across different games. Compatible games are playable at up to 120 Hz. Heavy gaming uses a lot of power, and you may find your phone warming up occasionally. The game enhancer app preemptively scales down content to 60 Hz to retain smooth gameplay while protecting your phone from overheating.

    Fine-tune your sound settings 

    Find the perfect soundscape using the audio equalizer. Tune out unwanted ambient sounds in-game and focus on sounds that give you an edge over your opponents. Additionally, play around with the voice chat settings to optimize the sound of your voice on your phone's mic or an external one.

    Enable H.S. power control for high-performance gaming

    We recommend enabling H.S. power control for longer gaming sessions and optimal smartphone performance. It's ideal for preserving your battery from long-term degradation and keeps your phone running smoothly.

    Concentrate with Focus Settings

    Stay focused throughout your gaming session by blocking out all notifications like calls and alerts. Choose which notifications you want to block manually or turn on the Competition set to block all notifications automatically. Disable the camera button, side sense, adaptive brightness, and navigation bar for a distraction-free gaming session.
