The performance is very good overall which provides high graphic intensive games pretty much fine without any major issues for most part, I was able to run asphalt nitro and the gaming performance was smooth didn't notice any lag or major frame drop from this you can also observe that other games like asphalt 8 etc to perform similarly and should be very much playable even on high graphic setting and also when it comes to heating I found the device gets warm not uncomfortably warm/hot which is pretty good. The general performance of the device was smooth didn't notice major lag from the UI (User Interface) which is very good in my opinion. The benchmark scores are above average for this price range which is given below.
