Known Issues & Fixes
| Issue | Solution / Fix |
|---|---|
| Some users reported the Dimensity 8020 runs noticeably hotter than expected during extended gaming sessions. | Not a defect; enable a lower graphics/performance preset in-game, or use Moto's Game mode with the 'battery saver' thermal profile. |
| A number of owners noted the vegan-leather back panel on the Viva Magenta color shows scuff marks over time more easily than the glass-backed colors. | Not fixable; a clear case protects the leather finish from visible wear. |
