Question Does mk5 overheat to an any extent? - Sony Xperia 1 V

Please share overheating related experience & issues, or lack of it you have had with newer Xperia 1 V model.
Any rigorous and real-life testing data will also be highly appreciated.
In short, does it overheat? And if so, to what extent?
Thanks

Yeah, I also watched couple of reviews but I wanted to get the info from someone who actually uses the phone daily.
Not having a overheat message displayed is a good start but by no means solves issue mk IV had, basically it was always hot, so I'm curious if mk V is really up to the task.
Thank for the link anyway

actually the issue was not in the phone itself but rather the SD Gen1 had overheating issues across all devices but in Xperia was more because Sony didn't have the best heat dissipation hardware but as for the Xperia 1 V it's another story ( they solved it)... so, my assumption is that the phone won't get the overheat message anymore and in addition to that the SD Gen2 doesn't have the same overheat issue the pervious gen has

Cooling concept is still as bad as before. SoC just doesn't draw as much....

There are phones with SD8Gen2 and WAY better results.
BUT they do claim that there is no overheating issue while filming.
Now, the good news.
First, the Xperia 1 V never became hot, warm - yes, but never uncomfortably hot.
Second, there is no display throttling; the screen refresh rate remained at 120Hz even after prolonged benchmark testing.
And third, the most important news is no more camera overheating! It was incredibly awful for a cameraphone to overheat after just 5 minutes of 4K video recording (Xperia 1 IV, we're looking at you), but that's a thing of the past. The Xperia 1 V is not even warm after shooting for 30mins in 4K, which is excellent news.
The camera overheating warnings are still there in the menus for some features, but we never experienced them, and we hope you will never do, as well.
We played a game for half an hour, too, and the Xperia 1 V was not hot and did not throttle, not obviously, at least. That's why we think most gamers and photographers alike would be happy with the improved thermals even if this was not reflected in the synthetic tests.

Any possible overheating can be reduced by either the use of a custom kernel or by aggressive tweaking of the stock Sony kernel.

you just need the phone rooted and lower the clock speed to prevent overheat.. save battery too

Underclocking and any kind of battery savings together is a myth as well as snake oil, considering that the CPU core(s) have to spend a longer time out of idle for getting the same thing done that could be done at a faster pace on a higher frequency.

Based on his testing, it seems much improved over the Xperia 1 IV

So, the above video basically answered every question I had about overheating.
I'm glad to see Sony & other relevant parties sorted out issues they had.
Now, all I need is ROOT access.
Watch it, it's really informative
