Heat - Honor 5X Real Life Review

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 honor 5X 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!

In normal conditions its at comfortable temperatures.....but during charging and heavy usage like playing nfs shift etc. It does heat up too much(atleast for me)

it tends to warm a lil bit while charging and playing heavy games, bt no overheating so far

Gets hot no overheat yet..

The phone since I've had it (bought it 1 month after the release, and 1 week after they changed from SD 615 to 616) has never overheated or been too hot to the point where it was uncomfortable to use. It is normal for the phone to get a LITTLE warm, a LITTLE, when you first plug it in to charge, but then the heat is transferred over to the power brick while charging. When I use the phone for some heavy gaming and heavy multi-tasking, it only warms up a little where it can be pretty good in a cold environment where it serves as a hand warmer. And I use a DWay 2 layer rubber/plastic case on it all the time, even with it on, it has never had any overheating issues.

Very controlled compared to other devices. But on heavy gaming, feeling the heat on fingerprint sensor the most..

Not too bad when gaming

Does heated up usually with games and multitasking

Gaming heats up all phones

Never been too hot for me.

Gets easily heated when using mild CPU intensive apps. But thanks to its metal back, the head conduction is pretty good enabling it to quickly radiate heat.
Out of 10 scores, I will score it 8/10 (Considering how it radiates heat)

It does heatsup in several instances . But am a normal user so i rarely sense the heat only if remove back case

it generates normal heat while gaming

Little to no heating.

heated up while gaming.

A little heat while charging.

Heats up which charging and playing heavy games for more than 10-15 minutes or even using cpu intensive app for sometime.
Phone is 20 months old now so no complaint now :good:

My Honor 5X heats up incredibly hot when I have it plugged into my Audi and am using Android Auto. In fact, I was using the Waze app and the phone got so hot that it shut off and I couldn't restart it for about an hour.

[Q] Do you experience heating issue on your S3?

I've been using my i9300 S3 for a few days now and it seems to heat up on the lower back when using wifi/data extensively. It's not hot to cook an egg sort of thing, but it seems hotter than usual.
Any of you experience such issues?
Hello
I am first time android user. Even i noticed this. Please let me know if it's ok.
It feels normal to me though....but I guess extensive usage may increase heat, just like computers and other electronic devices
I noticed the heat issue a lot more when I just got the phone. It still warms up a bit but i would say it is normal.
Though it did get pretty hot on my last flight during take off that I had to turn it off. Didn't want my expensive phone to melt.

It's normal I wouldn't worry about it to much although it will get warmer if it is being charged while using the program.
I am facing a similar issue ! My question is what temperature is safe enough ? I mean I have used few battery info apps. I have got a temperature reading of around 42 - 43 degree Celsius ! Is it normal ?

Do you own a computer of any kind? Not even that, any electronic device... a TV, PC monitor, anything? Use it for a while, and then report back to me any changes in temperature....
Is quite normal as long as your palm doesn't feel uncomfortable with the heat.

I had the one x it got as much as 163 Fahrenheit very very hot.

S3 overheating
Krico is absolutely right. It happened this morning when I was charging thru a notebook using both devices at the same time. And the heat lingered on even though I unplugged it. So I switched it off and now it is back to normal. Tks.
The phone can get pretty hot using WIFI and 3g extensively or 3d games. This is normal, electrical components heat up after prolonged use, your computer heats up your tv heats up. As long as the phone isn't burning your hand or exceeding 60C you should be fine. My phone gets warm to the touch and noticeably heats up but doesn't get HOT, if your phone ever gets HOT, turn it off to avoid damage.
I use an app called temp cpu v2. It displays a few interesting stuff incl. battery temperature. There are probably other apps like this.
With wifi on I get around 26 degrees but it sometimes goes up to 50 (or a little more?) on 3d games using wifi.
While charging it gets a little hotter.

device getس very hot on gaming !!

after a 20 minutes of gaming device gets very very hot !!
Clean up your phone and dont charge while playing.. its a problem on all mid end phones
Changing the governor and / or the frequency can also help
but Would it damage device!! , Or is it bear this heat
though its a common issue in smartphones these days its advisable not to play for prolonged time as s4 processors tend to heat up a lot limit your game play time and your device will be fine i play real racing 3 all the time does heat up when it gets too hot i leave it on standby to cool and then back to playing
Yeah,also our phone has some aluminium parts on it,and we all know that aluminium is a good heat conductor,so it has a big party in absorbing that heat,try to touch that part around the camera when it gets hot. So that might add a feeling that the phone is really hot. The heat is normal,the only problem is that it's lowering the life of the battery,but it's nothing to worry about to much,just as soon as it gets hot,leave it for some time to cooldown and there you go.

Gaming and overheating

Very tempted to get a P9000 but worried the phone overheats when gaming as it has a Mediatek based CPU. My Lenovo K3 Note starts to overheat after just 10 minutes gaming and the FPS in games drops significantly.

I am playing Nintendo DS emulator, PSP emulator und sometimes some games like GTA. It will be warm, of course it will because of CPU, but it never overheated for me, and i do heavy task
Really tempted to get this package: http://shop.gizchina.com/elephone/elephone-p9000-4gb-ram-32gb-rom-smartphone-660.html

What do you understand with overheat? Becoming warm isnt overheating.
I've ran some pretty long and extensive performance benchmarks and done some playing.
The phone does get rather hot when playing for extended periods but has never shut down for me.
(mine is in the Elephone black flip-case (got it with the phone straight from Elephone)) so I suspect that keeps it even warmer.

Have not experienced any heating at all
I am experiencing heating issues, I would like to know if it's just me and hopefully I just have a defective device. The battery Temp stays around 49 Celsius
My phone does get a little hot... Altho I was jus using Google duo which uses a lot of resources I believe... Not 100% if that's the case tho, and it cooled rather quickly after I ended the phone call...
I'm not experiencing any heat on the phone at all.

It gets pretty warm when I quick charge and use the phone at the same time but I think that goes for most of the phones out there
It won't get very hot. If the internal temp gets to 44C (112F) it aggressively throttles the big cluster down to about 1.2GHz, which is about half the maximum speed.
At 41C its down to 1.8GHz
At 40C its down to 2.1GHz
So in the span from 39C-43C (102F-109F) The performance drops by 50%.
A 4 degree C temperature span. This is the most aggressive throttling I've seen in any device I've owned.
I noticed this morning during charging the phone is getting too hot to touch around the upper right corner where the 360 camera attaches (which I don't have.)
no heat issues here yet.
Ya I am having some issues when I charge my phone and watch YouTube at the same time

Mine is hot at times as well. How can you tell the temperature of the battery?

Same here I feel it at times of heavy usage and charging
Accu battery says I'm around 107.4 F when I'm charging and using heavy. But that's the hottest it gets. I generally sit it next to a fan whenever I experience this. But it does nothing for internal temp which stays at 107.4 but the outside is cool to touch. And now that I think about it I may be wing about the temp. Not sure if it was 104.7 or 107.4. But that's besides the point.
Yes this phone does get hot at time of heavy gaming/ usage/ etc

I use Ampere, and put a 1x1 widget on the home screen. The widget shows the mA (+/-), battery status (charging/discharging), battery %, and battery temp.
No heat issues, not even playing Pokemon Go.
I ran my phone on battery with Waze on for 2 hours and the display turned off, made a few long phone calls along the way, the phone was very cool IMHO based on other phones I had that I would run Waze on. Only used about 25% of the battery in this 2 hour timeframe with Waze, phone calls, emails coming in and news alerts popping up occasionally. Then connect the phone to a cheap USB-C phone charger that is probably low current and drove another hour and the phone was still cool.
I have not checked temperatures, but from the handling of the phone, it clearly did not feel warm.
So far, so good IMHO.
heating issues with essential phone
having heat issues when I'm using as a hotspot for video. nothing of concern.
Never had any heat issues on 7.1 or 8.1

The device sure get a little warm when you use it intensively but not in level that make you concerned about it. Streaming about 5 hour SoT and it got a bit warmer but its pretty normal.
It never heats, even when gaming or using navigtion.
No heating on continouous use, even when heavy gaming. But it starts to heat while charging

Recently it happened twice to me on my A2 mobile. All of a sudden it acted like if someone hacked my phone and operating. Enabling WIFI, Bluetooth, brightness high etc . This happened when I opened Candy crush game app.
And previous once when I unlocked my mobile.
Though I was secured with Kaspersky Mobile security.
Is anybody felt same issues???
