Description

When I am mirroring my phone and playing games like Call of Duty: Mobile or Apex Legends, in the first few minutes, the video latency is noticeable, but it is less than a second, so not that much of an issue. But after playing for 5–10 minutes, my phone overheats, and it becomes totally unusable for a while. The video latency also increases to about 10 seconds.

But after playing some lightweight games like Alto's Adventure for a while, the video latency increases to about 3–4 seconds. The phone heats up a bit but does not overheat like it did before. My laptop does not heat up at all while using the software.

What might be the issue? Is it the hardware limitation of my device, or is it the software itself? If it is my hardware limitation, then what is the required specification for my PC and my phone to run the application smoothly?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the issue with heavy and lightweight games while monitoring phone temperature and mirroring latency, then determine whether the behavior is hardware- or software-related. Done would require a supported configuration or a clearly identified software cause and fix.
