Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Huawei Nexus 6P stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

I think the large size of the 6P helps to dissipate heat. Seldom does the phone warm up except when doing a lot of video, and even then it's warm, not hot.

Actually doesn't get that hot. only twice it got warm. initial set up and once in my car on a warmer than average day.

Find it no better or worse than other phones i have owned

Have not noticed any overheating in the least bit.

It can get warm but hardly hot like Samsung phones.

I haven't been able to get my phone to top 38C. The only way it hit that was after about half hour of continued gaming use, which I don't think is hot.

I don't have any real world temperature readings but it seems to get uncomfortably warm to hold against your ear when you are on a call for a long time. Plus playing games or watching videos ramps up the temperature quickly.

In normal usage the heat is low and the phone flies but even only somewhat intensive games definitely heat up the phone faster and the framerate suffers.

Phone does warm up on not so intensive tasks. A bright screen would do this. It's definitely not what I'd describe as 'hot' ala my Z3. However... I believe the phone throttles the performance quite a lot when it gets warm.

Exactly the same than other phones i have owned

interesting how people have diferent opinions.
this phone gets HOT, not if its sitting on the table and if ur facebooking, but use the camera for 10-15min straight, or navigation in a car, or skype, it gets hot that I cant put it on my face afterwards.
But same **** happens with Note5 as well, they are just very powerfull devices.
But saying it doesnt get hot is a straight forward LIE.

The 6P only got quite hot during initial setup.

similar heat with other s810 machine for mine

i had the note 4 was overheating so much that i cant hold it

It does get a tad warm, but nothing compared to my S4 which was literally hot

It's normal.

The nexus 6p has surprised me. My initial thoughts when i first setup my device was this device gets hot. It's almost been almost a month and I've got to say this device is just like any other device. I still believe the nexus 6p does a better job of heat dissipation than other smartphones

My 6P never really goes over 40 degrees Celsius.

Heats while gaming and then it throttles. Phone itself doesn't get much hot but the metal frame can get uncomfortable

using a case solved this problem for me....

Heat is not an issue for me even when stressing the OP2 with mild gaming. It feels about as cool as my 6P in normal use.

No issue regarding heat for me. I can only get my phone slightly warm if i repeat geekbench over and over for 15 minutes

It gets hot as much as any other phone I have tested. The aluminium frame gets quite warm when gamming or any intensive cpu activity, but it's not a big issue.

Heat is an issue every time I reboot

Latest update 2.1.2 improved Op2 alot. earlier when I used to play NFS no limits on stock kernal temp raised upto 43 but now after update it hardly cross 41 degree. so heat management is improved alot. :good:
Great work OP team keep pushing updates :highfive:

I am also very happy with the new update 2.1.2. I am using AK kernel though, so I can't say how it works with stock... but can't complain about the heat issue.

When using cardboard phone gets to 50+ degrees

Heating is normal comparing to other phones..

Got a bit too warm but it's acceptable

heat
no problem for me. haven't exceeded high 90's F. i am not a gamer.

I've never had an issue with heat here

I'm on OxygenOS 2.2.0 and it works great.. it gets a little bit warm while playings havy games but it is cooler than my Nexus 4 or my sister's OnePlus One.. so it's ok for me!

Aggressive throttling

My note 3 was the only phone I have ever had heat issues with

I've had less heating issues on the oneplus 2 than the oneplus one

In all honesty I haven't had a problem with heat and my oneplus 2. Yes, it DOES get hotter than other phones, but not even close to uncomfortably hot. I am perfectly fine playing High Definition 3D games on my OPT

It got really uncomfortable playing high GPU/CPU intensive games. I had to quit gaming on mobile. Normal usage is fine.

Phone doesn't heat much, hovewer on the upper side you can definitely notice a lot higher temperature i.e. during playing heavy games

In my last use of MIUI 8.0.1.0 Global Stable, I have heat issues.
So bad, it felt like burning from inside. Switched to CM 13 (Now at CM 14), heat is minimum when playing heavy games.
I think it is about how bad MIUI optimization, or maybe MIUI 8 didn't mature enough at that time.

It gets hot charging and using wifi gaming at the same time

Hi all,
I'm using CM 13, and playing Real Racing 3, it gets extremely hot, not only the top, all the smartphone, it's really uncomfortable.
Do you think that updating to CM 14 the problem will solve?
Because it also starts slowing the image and the game jumps.
Best regards
Alec

My Mi 5 running unofficial lineage 14.1 by shade.sh and brand kernel does not heat up often. When it does occasionally heat up due to very intensive apps, its is very bearable and not too hot IMO. I am however using a thin rubber case and that may be the reason why I do not feel it being as hot as you described!

Thanks for the answer, yesterday night I changed to CM 14.1 and using RR3 it gets worm but not as hot as with CM 13.1
Regards

cool
Remember its just a computer with a "phone function". It does get warm under heavy load. But only when i really run games for at least 20min. And it may get hot if you install a new rom and tons of apps in a short period. Usually its cool (running official lineageos 14.1).

I have Lineage OS 14.1 Overclocked with dragonxia kernel and it doesn't heats too much while playing asphalt 8

Im on the newest LOS and the device gets really warm on the upper side when you charge it and use skype at the same time (thats probably because skype eats the battery really fast)

I have come from LG Flex 2 to Xiaomi Mi5. Believe me nobody knows what baking really is while using your phone! Cherry on the cake, my LG actually fried in its last days, as per the phone repair people. Now it just keeps restarting every now and then.. . Fully satisfied with the Xiaomi Mi5 temperatures while playing online games like 8ball and CoC. The LG used to heat up in our city temperature of around 30 degrees within 15-20 minutes. In AC it was better, around half an hour.
But Xiaomi Mi5 gives me a respectable 40-50 minute game before slightly heating up. And that heating too is completely tolerable, when compared to Flex2 !!
With almost 2 hours of gaming and other office work, I get 5h15m plus screen on time as well
Oh yes, I have found this out, the Motorola QC-3.0 charger which came with my sister's MotoG4 heats up my phone VERY MUCH!
And when compared, the Mi5 original QC-3.0 charger does not heat up the phone THAT much. I have seen voltage differences but the Moto charger has lower voltages and that should practically not heat up my phone a lot. I use the Moto charger at office and the Mi charger at home, both in AC rooms.

Heating to much... And when the phone heats up, it starts to slow down... (8.5.2 eu stable)

No only on Galaxy 8 but most of the models get heated while extended use. It is better to keep it from using it prolonged hours. I have not heard any incident of blast but it is good to be safe.
It is not about particular brand but it happens with almost all of the brand. If you use any mobile devices for prolonged hours it will get heated and sometimes may be exploded.

Lol....3 posts and you can came to spot this nonsense?!

Using TomTom app for over an hour yesterday and my S8 really contributed to global warming. No it wasn't charging at the same time and not attached to the windshield nor in direct sun-light.
On the other hand I experienced this same effect with previous smartphones ?

You wouldn't expect to use a PC/Laptop for an hour or more and it not get hot. The same goes for a phone which is essentially a small PC!

max Temp with mine under load is 43°c (Aida64). Battery is a bit lower.
Anyways most if not all of the modern SoCs are getting warmer then odler Models (Which is normal) . I think thats why many Devices have a Heartpipe build in now.
The only SoC where i was worried was the Snapdragon 810 in the HTC M9.

I found this device (G950F just to be more precise) to be a bit cooler than the previous iterations (and I've used all it's predecessors), probably the large footprint has an influence here as well.

Mine gets a little warm, but I haven't gotten it uncomfortably so, regardless of what I've thrown at it so far. Seems to top out in that "noticeably warm but not uncomfortably so" range, which is nice

Had my phone for only 24H no heat yet! but the same happened with my s7 edge for some reason even after re flashing the stock rom with ODIN it started heating like crazy! also I haven't taken it outside yet, my s7 edge's battery goes up to 37 outside! even up to 38!

Had mine for 2 months now. It warms up after prolonged use but what do you expect? It's normal! Nothing unusual

This is a big improvement I have seen over my Nexus 6P. The ole Snapdragon 810 would get pretty warm in my hands on heavy use. The new one feels cool at all times. This has also helped tremendously in the battery life department too.

Same. My 6p got warm too fast and throttled after 5 mibs of normal use. The Pixel 2 is just perfect, it gets a little bit warm in heavy usage like it should.

I play pubg constantly and I never feel worried about heat. Even while charging and playing it feels safe.

Two minute queries-
1. Is the top speaker about 20 percent-ish lower in volume than the bottom one?
2. Recording a video for about 9-10 mins got the temp of the battery to 40.7°C when the ambient temperature outside is 24 °C.
Although it has fallen down very quickly after that but is it normal?
Thanks.

2. 9-10 minutes of continuous video recording is a lot. I never record more than 1-1:30 minute segments. Anything longer gets boring or would get trimmed anyway. Even with multiple bursts in a row, it does get warm but I've never measured.

Really? Using gltools to reduce graphics? Why did you buy a $1000 phone then?

Sometimes a little heat is just perfectly fine.

You forgot a very important point, performance. This phone is capable of handling heavy games with medium to high graphical settings without overheating.
