Heat and battery drain are not cosmetic issues. They are a retention leak: less playtime, hotter devices, and worse reviews even when your FPS graph looks acceptable.
You break down the practical chain from CPU/GPU work to energy use, heat, and user frustration, then move into measurement-first optimization. The lessons include Android-focused workflows and show that there can be large optimization margin, including cases with up to 50% room to improve power behavior.
Concrete next step: set up Battery Historian with Docker, connect through ADB, reset stats, run a repeatable gameplay scenario, and measure a baseline before and after your changes.
CEO/Producer translation: better power behavior directly protects session length, review quality, and platform perception.
