I do not believe this is a processor issue as the S10+ has a better benchmark than the iPhone X. Come on, please do something... thanks.”
- “When I try to play with mobile network data, the game is not loading. I am using a Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, and it's frustrating that the game does not work on mobile data and only works on Wi-Fi.
