How hot is your galaxy S7 edge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi
So I bought my GS7E a week ago .. I started to notice that it heats so much when I use it
I just don't know if this is the normal heat for it or not so I wanted to know from your experience
so at normal base when I'm not using it it stays at 34-35C
When I use it for whatsapp, facebook an normal light use it goes up to 37C
when I charge it it goes up to 40C
and sometimes when it's in the car on in my pocket and nothing is running in the background it can go to 40C too
that makes it annoying to receive calls or to hold it and put it next on my ear
are these temperatures OK? or is there is something with my device ... what are your numbers

Oh that seems in my opinion to be too hot, Mine is in Idle at 28°-29°, when i Use it (WhatsApp, Facebook... etc.) at 30°-32° and when i Charge it it is around 33°-35°

According to AIDA64, my phone is currently at 42c whilst charging from flat.
It's certainly warm, but at one point I saw it hit 50c when charging and using the phone at the same time.

what is the temperature when using normally not whilst charging ?

what is version is your CPU ?

I have the Exynos Version

It ranges from 33-37C

I have the Exynos S7 Edge. Mine at normal temperature ranges between 25 and 28 degrees, but can go as low as 22 degrees if not used for a bit (I have Greenify set to close all non-essential apps on sleep). If I'm doing some basic activities like texting, taking a few snaps on the camera or browsing simple web pages, it will go up to between 29 and 33 degrees. If I use it for gaming, depending on the graphics, it will go up to between 34 and 38 degrees. I've never seen it hit 40 degrees, although I reckon if I pushed it with numerous benchmarks or an hour of playing Real Racing 3 it probably would.
Temperature wise, this thing is fantastic, the best phone I've ever owned. Under ten minutes on Minecraft on my old Note 3 and it would be uncomfortable to hold. I've never had that with the S7 Edge, although I can't speak for the Snapdragon variant, which I've heard doesn't handle temperature as well.

[Q] Battery heat ?

Hi.
While playing games my Xperia Play produces lots of heat. The back of the phone, and the gamepad feels really warm.
I checked the temperature with Battery Monitor Widget and when I don't use the phone it stays around 25-30 degrees Celsius, but when I play games (even 2D ones) it goes up to 38-40.
Is this a normal thing or there's something wrong with my battery ?

I can confirm this happens. Basically it is using more charge, therefore as a side effect of that it produces more heat from the chemical reaction. Same thing when you have it charging.
It isn't horrible, but try not to let it get too hot as it may shorten the lifespan of the battery.
So this is true for all xperia plays that after some time of gaming the phone will be really warm ?
The phone will get warmer, of course... but 40 degrees is not excessively hot. It feels warm in your hand, but it's not dangerous. A dangerous temperature would be close to 50.
The highest temperature that I had was 44 degrees after a long Nova 2 session.
I am a bit worried by the fact that while browsing the net through wifi the battery heats up to 38 degrees, but it's okay as long as it's less than 50 :> ?
Thanks for the help.
I'd say if it goes above 46 or 47 you just switch it off for a while. Not only because you don't want to overheat it, but because running the phone on higher temperatures reduces battery life (higher temperature means higher resistance to conductivity for metals).
Thanks for the into that it's perfectly normal for the phone to feel warm.
Have you ever reached 50(or that 46,47) degrees on Xperia Play or any other phone ? What app made your battery that hot ?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
My former phone, the Galaxy S had HUGE issues with temperature while using 3G. Every time I toggled it on, the phone became awfully hot and the battery drain skyrocketed. I got it on 53 degrees once, since it was in my pocket. I was a bit scared, but the phone resisted it. Still, it wasn't pleasant.
The advantage of the Xperia Play being bulky and plasticky is that it's hard to bring it to extreme temperatures. If it's hard to make it hot, it has a positive impact on battery life as well.

Yea, this happens to me all the time. When using anything that drains my battery it heats it up as well.
All batteries release heat as current passes through them. When the phone is idle, the heat released is low enough your hand doesn't feel it. As the current increases while gaming, so does the heat.
It's nothing to worry about. The batteries are designed to handle heat without being damaged.
Especially since android devices are becoming more popular in places like india, where there's a lot of ambient heat.

What is your battery temperature?

Hi guys, recently picked up a galaxy s5, and noticed it gets extremely hot.
Now I'm well aware smart phone get hot, especially when running intensive apps, but the s5 seems unusually hot. Also when I went into settings - display - brightness I get a message saying unable to increase brightness further this device is overheating
I've downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester to monitor battery temperatures.
Can anyone comment on whether their phone runs hot, and ideally let me know battery temperatures please.
Thanks
Yes, mine does (an Exynos variant), and the maximum EVER it has gone is 40 deg Celsius, with the current latest update. But with the previous update, everything worked fine. Maybe we should wait for a fix. Don't worry much, everything will be alright.
Driving using GPS (waze) + Sunny time + Charging and I think I had 45 or something, maybe 46 but thats about it.
gets to around 40 to 45 degrees celsius while gaming

Samsung s4 is this high temperature normal?

I own a samsung s4 I9505 running lollipop and I think I have temperature issues. I live in Australia with ambient temperatures reaching 30 to 33 degrees on average. My phone can get pretty warm from normal use. The cpu is at 50 to 55 degrees Celsius on normal use and 33 to 40 on idle. The battery can go as low as 28 on idle and 36 on normal use. The phone feels warm to the touch and sometimes uncomfortable. Since getting lollipop it feels cooler for longer but I want to know if this is normal or not considering I'm in Australia. Everything on my device is offical.
Given the ambient temperature, i say it's normal. A protective case should help keep it 2 - 3 degrees cooler as it will stand between your hand and the back of the phone. Hard plastic recommended.

LG G6 Temperature

Good morning,
I want to ask about your devices' temperature.
I attach a screenshot of my device's temperature in idle state, light usage.
Every sensors are around 35 degrees Celcius, battery is around 32 degree Celcius.
On surfing Facebook, Instagram, Youtube...etc it can rise to above 60 degrees & battery rises to ~37.5 degree Celcius.
The device is warm, sometimes hot (but not hot to touch) around the area of fingerprint scanner.
Is it normal? Do you experience the same?
My device is a Korean version.

Yes. Actually experiencing the same. This is also a Korean version.
It is not too crazy hot. But I think it does get warm a little to fast for my taste.

Yes, mine branded H870 suffering of extreme overheating issue. I have to turn off the device to let it to cool itself!
Your device has some kind of carrier's brand??
I have also other disappointing issues!

the same issue for me! can't be normal for a top level smartphone :/
I have the T-Mobile variant and it gets warm. But never to hot to touch. The only time it ever gets close to that is when charging in the car. I use the Anker QC 3.0 car charger so I assume that's why it gets warm. Plus the sunlight.
I've had a few glass phones and I've noticed they feel warmer than normal and I can only blame it on the natural heat dispersion that glass has. Whenever glass is warm at all it always feels way hotter than what it is. With the cooling system in place that is why you feel more heat around the fingerprint scanner and on the side of the phone it's just doing its job
Also if you are using a case and you take it off and it's super hot/you feel the heat through the case it's probably because of the case trapping heat in the phone. I almost always charge my phone caseless or with my fan blowing on it since the phone is designed and tested without cases.
Try closing all apps while it charges maybe try a new case? Turn down your brightness or something. If nothing works maybe try a warranty replacement. It's possible your cooling pipe is defective
Snapdragon phones have run too hot for a while now, this one is no exception. It's always warm or hot to the touch, even when it's idle lol.

If it's warm while Idling you have an issue with the phone
Mine too..h870ds..not hot but warms..only doing light activities..surfing web,insta,twttr..is there anything to worry about?the warm feeling arise at the fingerprint scanner and camera part..
Those who are having hot G6 Try wiping Cache in settings-storage and do reboot.
If not Format the entire phone and install apps from playstore NOT from backup you have made

Phone Speaker gets hot when full volume
The only time my phone gets hot is when I listen to music on phone speaker with full volume, for some time. The speaker area gets hot.
Other than that with web browsing, Youtube etc not even warm to touch. (Also I have a case on, if it affects anything)

The speaker will warm up but that's because it maxes out at 4w which is insane for a phone speaker other than that ive played 3d intensive apps and my phone doesnt get above 38-44 degrees Celsius. Love this phone
My phone does never get warm :/

Same issue
If you are still having issues with a warm / hot phone, I'm curious what OS / flavor are you running ? I haven't tried a custom rom yet, I'm still on stock and it takes a lot to get my phone hot.. it's even stuck inside an otterbox which can't help with the heat being cased in plastic lol.
--edit, I ask because I want to move to a custom rom but don't plan on it if it's going to make the phone hot idle !

I'm really curious to know, when everyone complaining about warming and heating up u say it barely heats even in summer.
Please let meknow, outta curiosity, i wanna know.
Which country do you live in and by meaning hot summer, how much is the temperature during summer and where do you use your phone like, Air-conditioned environment or under a fan, or just using the phone under the mentioned environment without any ventilation. It'd be more helpful for me to further raise a concern with LG if mine is misbehaving!

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 OnePlus 6 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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone has not felt even the slightest bit warm to the touch no matter what I'm doing so far. Like literally stone cold 24/7.
Mine gets hot after playing 3D games. The heat is mostly at the top of the device around the camera area.
Fine in normal use though.
I've played a couple games for a while and it seems to only heat up on graphically intensive, but I mean that's expected. I played the stranger things game for about an hour and it didn't warm up at all. I switched to shadowgun legends, maxed the settings out, and it started getting hot within like 5 minutes. As Joe explained, it gets hot near the camera, but it isn't too bad and it cools down really fast, literally in a minute or so after closing the game.
Yeah, agree with all of the above. I should clarify the game I was playing was Honkai 3rd Impact on max settings which is fairly graphically intensive.
At what temperature does your OP6 hover at.
I don't play games.
As per cpu-z, mine stays between 30.5 to 39 degree Celsius.
(The temp here in Punjab, India reaches 47).
It feels like warmish after I installed Apple music app yesterday.
Before that didn't feel any warmth.
Thanks.

I tested cpu-z for you and got very similar temperatures. I was at around 28°c after turning my phone on. It went to around 31°c when scrolling through twitter and listening to Spotify. And after playing showdowgun legends for a few minutes it got up to 38°c.

Yup, same temps here. Nothing to worry about.

Hi..
Could test with the cpu-z app as to what temperature your set reaches when it's the warmest.
Mine has reached almost 39 degrees Celsius when using for everything other than games, for an extended period.
Sometimes though.
Usually it stays around 31 to 35 degrees Celsius on Cpu-z ( its peak summer time here in India, with daytime temperature always above 40).
Above what temperature should one get worried?
Cheers
you "worry" above 80 degrees Celcius, but I dont like it to get much higher than body temp.
I does cool off fast, But it can get really warm sitting in the sun.
I leave mine in a holder on my dash while I drive, playing pandora via bluetooth, and it can get pretty hot.
A few minutes of use, Pandora playing through internal speaker. Heavy JavaScript use on web browser.
It should be noted that my OP6 is Rooted and DeBloated.
Still not clear on one thing.
As to how hot is worrisome?
I spent a full hour browsing Chrome, in a car in a parking lot with no AC on and outside temp hovering at 38-39 degree centigrade,
and my device's battery temp (as on cpu-z app) went to about 41.2 degree centigrade.
I turned the AC on and within no time fell down to 34 centigrade.
Is that normal behaviour?

Of course it's normal behavior if your surrounding temperature is that high
Did you notice, the manual says:
Only operate your phone between 0-35°C temperature and 35-85% humidity
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The maximum ambient charging temperature of the equipment declared by manufacturer is 25°C.

Good luck with that in the summer!
I'm finding the screen does get noticeably warm to the touch at the top area near the SoC, just from normal use (such as using Chrome etc). Battery temp rises to about 35 degrees.
A little concerning I'd say.
Another disadvantage of glass back (beside dirt, fingerprints, fragility)
