PERFORMANCE: 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 Note5 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.

Hey leave my processor alone Its running sweet on my OnePlus two!

The Note5 is generally very efficient in terms of temperature. To be frank, it's probably the second coolest phone I've tried this year after the ZenFone 2 and its Atom Z3850 SoC. The Exynos 7420 is remarkably cold even when gaming, albeit it can ramp up temperature after extended runs. I rarely see the device get close to 40 degrees Celsius, though, while my OnePlus 2 can reach that temperature in no time through gaming. The combination of a large body and the materials chosen definitely helps, but a lot of it comes from the general awesomeness of the Exynos 7420 and its small process size. Also worth noting is that the heat is pretty evenly distributed, which I love. It doesn't making gaming uncomfortable like on other phones.

With the Note 5 I can barely feel any heat. It's 1000 times cooler than the S6 edge I had. My S6 edge was always blistering hot no matter what.

My recent experience: Note 5 is way cooler than S6 and Oneplus 2. It only get warm after really extended use.

heavy use (browsing + music streaming + youtube) while on 4G can definitely warm up the device. significantly. On WiFi the heat is much lower in my experience.

Even when playing clash of clans the device is just lukewarm ?

Zenfone for the win! One of the coolest devices I have ever owned. (Apart from the HTC Dream xD)
But my Note is also quite cool, but when charging and watching YouTube, it gets a bit hotter.

Resurrection Remix on Zenfone 2... fastest phone I've ever used.

I'm on this phone for the past hour with continuous browsing n yet not a slightest sign of heat

Sometimes on charge, this phones get really hot but after a while it settles down. No heat otherwise.

Lol!!! If any other devices are in close vicinity

So gutted this phone isnt available in the UK. We were just given the s6 Edge + and unfortunately I'm not a fan, much rather have a stylus.

just bought it
i feel it is not a samsung phone
fantastic
no over heat like the ****ty note 4

Soft and smooth, really liked the heat generation management, only feels the warmth following wireless charging.

Though not a note 5, I noticed that my note 4 never gets hot either. The only time I have felt it warm at all is when its been on a the fast charger for an extended length of time. It could be this is an intentional design of the series since its supposed to be for business use.

Ok this phone does get hot. Not only just charging fast wired and fast wireless. If your using your phone for a LONG period of time, constant screen on time, HD youtube videos, twitch, messenger video/chat, snapchat video and tethering. It's no surprise that this phone, like my note 3 and droid bionic before is the Achilles heel of any phone. These phones cant handle all this Snap chat vids, messenger video chat, wathching HD college football, NFL and Lebron James winning the NBA title. The more we use the screen, the hotter this phone gets, using ebay social media is no problem. But when you max the battery, ram CPU and put a load on the phone, it will get hot. Causes to get hot during my usage:
1. HD Video youtube, Netflix, twitch
2. Mobile tethering
3. Video Chat Snapchat, messenger video, Google hangout Video etc
4. Using your phone for for 2-4 hours straight!!!

this device overheats while being used for vr, and when being used with amlost any moto mod i have the camera, projector, and jbl speaker and all of them cause the phone to get hot. anyone wanna test? just use a mod for 20 min and then remove it and touch the back its very warm near the pinout. the cpu is in the lower half of the device.

no heat issue unless playing heavy duty game or play 2 hr more video

My last phone was a moto G4 plus which overheated like hell, I play a lot of pokemon go, and the device gets a bit warm, but nothing too much to worry about, also in intensive games gets fairly toasty but really, nothing like other phones. Also consider what it says here about our phone overvolted compared to other phones with the same chip. I actually won't make modifications to the stock rom of this phone until some development gets stronger, but it's possible to get better battery life and most importantly better thermals tweaking some stuff.

i just made a moto mod that cools my phone and recharges it at the same time. PUBG doesn't even get my device hotter than 35c after 2+hours(added the current data from all my testing)

I'll second that, mine gets hot wheels the game pad or turbo mod are connected.

It's possible for the phone to get hot under high loads or when charging, especially with the TurboPower mod, but it's nothing crazy.
Over all, for a titanium back, great thermals.

On benchmark it goes hot as hell. Never do a benchmark again. Was 3D Mark.

01/2019 Real user review Haven't felt any lag even on heavy usage. All apps load pretty fast. RAM management is great! Scrolling is pretty smooth, no complains. On long calls or on updates while charging it can heat up , but nothing considerable.

A8 will be hot? I actually used this phone to play a9, unbelievable.?

Hello friends, I'm from Brazil and I'm translating this message through google. I have a z2 force about 2 years ago, I recently bought a mod 360 camera, The problem is that when I go to make videos the phone heats up more, to the point of starting to catch. The videos from about 12-15 min in duration starts to crash! Does anyone have this problem too?

My phone actually heating up significantly during the initial setup...which is something that I have never experienced before. However, my former phone mysteriously began doing that lately, and dropping data connections. I have since swapped to a new SIM card, as I feel that it might have been the main cause of the problem.
Updates to come later.

First day of ownership I was a little scared of the heating. I always keep screen on 100% brightness. It got decently hot from excessive use(specifically when I was playing PUBG to check out graphics/performance). Since then, nothing. It gets warm during heavy use but it hasn't hit any uncomfortable levels. Maybe that was just a one day thing. I have since put a case on the phone which helps dissipate the heat. I know alot of users complained about the heat with this phone, my assumption is since it is so thin, there isn't any room for air to circulate inside the phone to cool it off, the battery is probably touching straight onto the board and screen. I remember replacing a battery on a moto x pure and the shape of the battery(Looked like this \_/ but more of a 10 degree angle) created a gap which allowed it to cool. The new battery which was flat now touches the board and it causes the phone to heat up more. So I would blame the thinness of the LG G7 for it's heating. I would rate it 4/5 because even though it doesn't get burning hot, it does warm up more than my previous phones(except the htc 10)

The heat management of the internals as well as CPU is superb. On a fine day of temps 30*C, the minimum temps are 27*C and max 36*C on a normal usage. I hope in 3 years time, the battery shouldn't degrade fast like it's predecessors. I hope the battery capacity should stay 3000 mAh in very long term usage. The old phones would feels hot, therefore the battery capacity had reduced.

I don't really play games on phones (I have a PC and PS4 for that) but it does heat up when quick charging wirelessly. Nothing alarming but noticeable.

It's gets warm, but not as bad as the previous G series.

On contrary to the company's statements, the phone warms up quite easily. It does not "heat" up but it is always at a warmer side.

here also become hot when playing pubg .. can u post ur cpu temp after heavey use?

Looking to buy it please let me know if it heats up. My pocophone never gets warm at all

Had a Redmi Note 7 before the Mi 9T Pro. I am not impressed with the Mi 9T Pro's heat management. It's not great but also not bad. My Note 7 was better in that regard. Grade: 3/5

phew a question I can answer, have both a k20 pro and poco and have played pubg on both for 5 hours plus. Poco never warmed up like k20 pro does, maybe a factor could be plastic vs glass. K20 pro in your hand it is noticeably warmer but not over the top.

It's not bad. Phone can get warm, but I've never seen it hot. It's definitely better than s9 that I had previously.

After using 8-9 months my k20pro got heat alway like 36-40 C° , and fast charging not working at temp 38 C° that's very disappointed.

same like my previous device oneplus 3. k20 pro warms up and drains battery

Mine doesn't warm up at all

That's perfectly fine CPU temperature when you're doing intensive tasks like playing PUBG and recording at the same time so don't worry about it.

I often play games such as COD and PUBG at full graphics settings the phone supports, not heating to a point concerning me.

Pubg
Been playing Pubg and the phone does get a little warm - but nothing concerning at all.
Plays nicely too!

I play 1-2 matches of Auto Chess a day, the phone never gets hot and you can play fine at max settings.
In comparison my previous phone Huawei P9 Lite, always gets hot and starts to lag significantly from Round 20.

I also play pubG and COD and after 5' phones' upper front and back are getting very very hot. It is also getting hot even when just charging...
