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.

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

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.
Does it get hot under normal usage? How much degree celcius are you getting while doing basic task and watching video?
No no heat problems on mine. I believe Sony has introduced new technology for the heat problem.

Well, I have been testing my XZP for two now. It is getting warm - definitely. If you put it under extreme load, it´s getting warm, even that warm your palms get a little sweaty - but not uncompfy warm. My LG G4 in comparison got that hot you´d barely wanna touch it.
Look for an app on Google play called "epic citadel" and run it.
Left it going for about 30 minutes and walked around a bit. Phone got Luke warm. Used 8% of the battery.
Not so much hot to me
Sent from my G8142 using Tapatalk
Any and all computer(s) CPU's will get warm to hot depending on the load. This is the nature of the beast. But mine does not get warm at all the way I use it. My battery life is phenomenal!
Gets warm if you play games for a long period, but nowhere near hot. Also I noticed that, compared to my old phone, the warmth is pretty much the same on the entire back. It's not just hot where the chipset is. All in all, the phone is awesome regarding heath control.
The phone does get hot after a while.
It's cool most of the time, and even if it gets hot, it has great cooling so leaving it alone cools it off in minutes.
As for the temperature, i was doing a stress test the other day (3D) and the phone seems to have capped at 38-39 Celsius degrees (that is slightly higher than body temperature so you can definitely feel it). I didn't check temperature after that though.
It also gets warmer while both watching and shooting at 4K, or high speed (even 1080p though).
However trust me, if you had the Z3 Compact like I did, that phone was a freaking furnace. My battery was affected by it. If want to use my Z3C as a gps in my car, i have to shove it in front of the AC to keep it cool otherwise I'm afraid it's going to evolve into a Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
So this phone is a big big improvement. Though I'd like a phone someday that definitely doesn't get hot. But maybe that's too much to ask.
As I'm typing this, after about 30 minutes of active use, my battery is 35 celsius degrees. From normal use.
A cell phone is just too small to dissipate heat in a very efficient manner. That is why super fast, and powerful, gaming desktop PC's have several fans installed in them along with huge heat sinks sitting right on top of the CPU. The heat sinks are larger than this entire phone! I am an IT Systems Engineer and if you've ever had the opportunity to go to a large data center where servers are housed you will quickly notice the high volume of moving air in the entire area. It can even get quite cold in some data centers all for the same reason... Computers can get very hot! So the fact that OEM's can keep these things as cool as they do, with the CPU housed in such a small, airtight space, is really a marvel of engineering.
Hello , the phone doesn't get hot like my z2 is used to be , I've managed twice to get the phone (on purpose) , but with normal usage 4K video / gaming etc it won't get hot unless you spam many task at hight speed

Much better than the s6, s7, s8 heat machine on which you can fry eggs .
Heck, even when installing apps, update firmware or while charging the phone, it doesn't get insupportable to touch like other flagships.
Definitely the coolest phone I ever owned!! Especially comparing to my old phone Xiaomi Mi Note Pro with the Snapdragon 810 that was known to run hot lol
For me has been the reverse of some people here. My One plus 5 is heating a little bit more than my S8 Plus and my Xiaomi Mi Mix. But it's not heating up to the point that it's uncomfortable I said it's in the normal range.

I came from a vintage phone from LG G Pro with a snapdragon 600, and i can say this is alot hotter comparing to the op5. When i play clash of clans for a few mins, it heats up to 77 degrees celsius which can be a bother to battery and other components.
Here at op5 i can play the same game and cpu is just 30 degrees celsius! Measured with cooltool.
Compared to my Nexus 6p, this phone is cool as ice, my Nexus would sometimes get so hot that you couldn't touch it.
To be fair, my last phone was the LG G4. About an hour after plugging that in to my Chevy Volt's infotainment center (with Android Auto), I could pretty much cook an egg on that phone. Even with the back off, the LG G4 would overheat and report that it's recharging was temporarily halted. There's nothing like that going on, with the OnePlus 5.
My 8/128gb is overheating, especially the zone right in between the camera and the 1+ logo.
The CPU temperature is constantly around 40°c in light use over wi-fi. Is it normal? What is the right range of temperatures? Anybody experiencing this overheating in the rear zone?

Ok but the back becomes so hot that is difficult to hold it.
i have played asphalt xtreme, injustice 2, marvel future fight, close to about 30-40 mins, and frequently switching between games, and no sign of any overheating at all.
I used to own a zenfone 2, and it got real hot, not even warm.
Fantastic device for gaming, OP5!!
This is the coldest phone i ever had.

Hi, I want to buy the Rog 5 but I've heard that it has high temperatures even from light use (like when using YouTube it reaches 40degrees celcius). How are the overall thermals? I'm not talking about throttling I'm talking about general temperature when using the phone for light tasks. Any info would be highly appreciated. Also any info on battery life would be great too
From what I have heard from Youtube and reddit, It is a hot phone because it keeps internals in a good temperature, plus they achieved better temperature after update.

But having a warm phone isn't a good sign is it? I'm currently using a huawei p40 pro plus and it's super cool (probably because of the ceramic body). You mentioned an update, so is the rog 5 cooler after the update? On YouTube Technick ran a battery drain test and the Rog 5's peak temp was almost 60 degrees celcius

Thanks man. This really helped.
I got it a few days back, I can share some impressions. Yes, it's a hot phone. Yes CPU temp gets up to about 40 degrees sometimes when browsing or multitasking. Gaming also gets it to about 45 - 50 on CODM and Dead Cells and between 55 and upwards of 60 with Genshin Impact. A Peltier effect cooler like the FunCooler from black shark brings this down about 10 degrees. This temperature is mostly felt at the center of the display, while the sides on the back, where the batteries are, remain noticeably cooler. Perhaps their goal was to dissipate het through the display, idk.
I haven't been able to notice any drop in performance yet, even with the thermal limit set to low. What I don't know is how this affects the chip long term, but I hope it doesn't degrade for at least about 5 years. Either way I'm sticking with a cooler for Genshin impact just to make sure the device lasts longer.

Thanks for the reply. 40 degrees from just web browsing is ridiculous. Rather dangerously high and will definitely degrade batteries. Think I'll give the rog 5 a miss

40 is the CPU reading I get. Batteries stay about 5 degrees below the CPU for normal use generally according to my observations, just to make that clear. Not sure which battery temp it's actually reading though, since there are 2 batteries.

40 is still too high though for normal usage. I've never heard of a phone go that warm. My huawei sits at 22 maximum.
Phone arrived 2 days ago, in my experience It Is not that hot, while browsing / YouTube / Instagram It Is cool (about 31/32 °c) and my ambient temperature Is around 20 °. I have played 1 hour call of duty and It reached 37 ° on the cpu, while the phone was hotter, especially in the middle. I think this Is how It works, getting hot outside to be colder inside. Also I updated to firmware 2102.81 which helped a lot.
