Just what the title says. Does the Nexus 5 get hot like the GS3 or Nexus 4 did? I am curious as I have one ordered and would rather know now instead of worrying later on when I get it.
My HTC One X gets a lot hotter when i play games.

Yeah, my GS3 gets face burning hot just when browsing, so I am curious to see if it will be the same for the Nexus 5 when I get it. I don't usually play games on my phone as I have low vision, I plan on getting the Nexus 10 2013, or whatever they might call it when it comes out.
Mines haven't been hot but I am using a custom kernel and not using the regular kernel thermal

It gets warm. But certainly not burning hot like my S4.
Are there any current-model smartphones that don't have noticeable temperature increase when under heavy load?
My N4 got hotter, this gets pretty warm, but not uncomfortable .

Do high performance smartphones under strain and staying cool even exist?
Mine hasn't gotten hot at all, and definitively not as hot as my S4 got sometimes.

I expect heat under heavy load, but just browsing the web or watching a video?
It does get a little warm, but the nexus 4 had a glass back thus the heat. I mean I did tests and more tests . Played two hours of dead trigger 2 and it held up awesome. I mean it did get warm, but what do you expect ... Its running a snap dragon 800 @ 2.3 and a adreno 330. So far for me its preforming amazing.

If you watch many pornz, yes.
Coming from the Nexus 4, the Nexus 5, in my experience, definitely runs hotter on LTE.
Should I get the Nexus 5 as my upgrade from Sprint for just $35? Just wanting to know if it is worth it, I have the 2013 HTC One and it get's hot whenever I use it, really hot. Does the nexus 5? Thanks!
The nexus 5 doesent get that hot I guess it depends on what you do with me it almost never gets hot if you are a hardcore it will get hot but the HTC one gets really hot because it s made out of metal my main complaint with the iPhone

Same here, but only on 3g. I cannot tell anything about LTE/4G, because I have to pay extra money for that network which I do not want to. On wifi the phone stays icecold.

Nexus 5 is not only Hot in appearances and by its style but it is also Hot when I
1. Using and browsing internet more than 1 hour.
2. Charging it more than 3 hours.
3. Clicking pictures continuously more than 1 hour.
4. Playing Games.
5. On call more than an hour.
Etc..:crying:
yeah mine gets pretty bloody hot after using it continuously for like an hour.

Pretty much all phones that I have used get hot when I'm gaming, browsing, taking pictures continuously etc...
What I don't understand is why people make a big fuss about it? It's not like it will melt your skin...
If you're rooted, you can use custom kernels to increase throttling but then people will complain that the phone lags.. Lol.
Temperatures ranging between 45-60 are pretty normal and especially when your living in hot places where the room temperature is 25-30*c
Just use your device and forget about the temperatures!

I'm experiencing pretty much none of that. My N5 only gets hot if I'm doing any CPU intensive gaming. Which I pretty much never do. No issues while browsing or anything else.
To OP. If you're unhappy with your One the N5 is a great phone. Differences to note tho: Sense. If you like it a lot then you will miss it. Speakers. There is no comparison between the speakers on the One and the N5.
Also, the carrier N5's are all 16Gb as far as I know. So be sure that it will be enough storage for you.
I'm incredibly happy with my N5
Um how about 120 degrees while sitting in the car browsing with chrome, for like 20 minutes? My phone has hit a max of 127 degrees.
Get the nexus 5 but not with sprint they suck. I cant wait till The end of may to go get AT&T. But it does get kind of hot sometimes but not so hot you have to put it down lol.
A device with a body made of metal alloys is ALWAYS going to feel warmer during strenuous operation than a device body fabricated out of plastic or composite materials. Mostly, that is a good thing, for both the device internals & battery life. Metal is a better conductor than plastic & also has a lower "R" value. These factors serve to allow the metallic device to better dissipate the energy transferred to heat, away from the device & into the cooler ambient air. While the exterior of the device may be warmer, the interior components are often cooler & they definitely cool down faster when they do heat up than they would in a plastic bodied device.
As to the question itself. The Nexus 5 can & does heat up like any other device & how noticeable it is, depends on how you use the device. Again, you will not notice the heat as much, but the internals of the device will. The Nexus 5 itself is a worthy device, tho I am using mine less & less as I find more to like about my new HTC M8. I am certain that you could probably find the Nexus 5 online for nearly any carrier for free, if not close. While I am a Nexus 5 fan, you just don't get the same quality in the Nexus line that you do with other flagship devices. GPS drift can be horrible on the Nexus 5 & I don't mean just from my experiences. I belong to a large Ingress group, many of whom use the Nexus 5, nearly all of them suffer from horrible GPS drift frequently. The M8 on the other hand, has been rock steady, gives me better AT&T 4G LTE signal & just all around rocks. HTC isn't providing a free, one time, 6 month screen replacement garuntee because the device is haphazardly thrown together partially based on the lowest bidder to mee the specification outlined by Google. Also, just know the the Nexus 5 battery is mediocre at best & without a lot of trial & error (& some help from Flar2's ElementalX) you are lucky to see 3 & 1/2 hours of screen on time. I was able to get it out to 5 & 1/2 hours, but again, it took a lot of tinkering & thankfully there was a solid kernel with good source available to build from.
One last thing. While you will benefit from regular software updates (which HTC has also made a part of their HTC Advantage program, not too mention they took Google's queue & started releasing modular updates in the form of Play Store service update packs) remember that in 6 months or so, the Nexus 6 will be out. At that time, based on Google's revised support schedule, you could potentially stop seeing updates on the Nexus 5 about 6 months after release. Now I don't expect that to happen, however, if the reports are true, it could, since it sounds like Google is wanting to go away from the Nexus program & stick primarily to GPe devices.
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the N5, but it just isn't the same type of quality as the HTC M7 or M8. Plus, now that there are GPE devices for both HTC models, converting to a GPe device that benefits from a Nexus-like update program is a simple thing.
At any rate, just some food for thought. I loved my N5, but I wouldn't buy it again today. At the end of last year, or even in January or February 2014, maybe, but not now. While you cannot go wrong with the QC SnapDragon 800, the Nexus 5 is primarily lower binned chips & the new 801 takes the same performance & enhances battery life. With only an additional 300mah, right out of the box I was getting nearly 6 hours of screen on time from the M8.
I currently have the 2012 N73G. It's screeching to a halt, laggy as hell. I have tried just about everything and may be close to giving up on it.
I am not much of a gamer but the Shield tablet LTE looks to be at a really good price point for a cellular tablet considering its power. I had been tempted by the Nexus 9 until I saw its final price. The 2013 N7 LTE doesn't appear to be available in Canada at any cheaper than it was on launch day while already being a year old.
Any thoughts from this forum on upgrading from a Nexus to the Shield as a day to day tablet?

Hi there, I'm a Note 3 owner, Shield Tab Owner, and also was using a Nexus 7 2012 for several months until I upgraded to this tab. Definitely worth it, and I don't even have the controller or case yet. I've had it only a few weeks, but it has blown past all of my expectations.
It's performance is top notch. Seriously, that K1 does its job very well. No frame skips even in any of the Grand Theft Auto games at highest settings. Trine 2 is a beauty as well. Everything from multitasking to running intensive applications is comically fast.
The back camera is a nice addition, but I wouldn't actually recommend it for taking any important photos. It'll get the job done, but it certainly won't look as good as anything you take on a modern phone, despite its five megapixels. However, the front camera is the exact same unit and takes very crisp selfies and is very nice for skype. It may not be a good camera for capturing scenery, but the tab is great for video calling.
The screen is perfect. I have found nothing I don't like about it. Colors are great, touch response is seemingly perfect, and it goes pretty bright and stupidly, incredibly, dark. Black levels are some of the best I've seen on an LCD. I think it's miles ahead (subjective) than the N7 2013. Compared to the 2012 model, there isn't even a competition.
Anyway, I hope this helps. I'd say take the plunge!
Even the 2013 was a huge upgrade on the 2012 Nexus tab and the Shield tab is a huge upgrade on that 2013 Nexus tab so going from the 2012 to the Shield tab will be an amazing jump, do it and tell me how to feels. I upgrade devices too often myself so I rarely get a big increase in speed but the graphical abilities on this tablet have been the largest increase in speed since I went from my Samsung Moment to my HTC EVO!
I had the 2013 Nexus 7 32GB and the NST blows it out of the water. I was always jealous of my gf and her iPad Mini when I had the N7 but now I rarely think about it.
Went from the nexus 7 first gen to the Shield tablet. A step up in every way. Personally the nexus 9 looks good but the Shield tablet doesn't disappoint.

Hello friends, i have a nexus 4 from past 2 years and this phone is rock solid till date but just bored of this so wanna buy a new phone under 15k only, i have been looking these two devices from many days, mi4i has a brilliant display which is attracting me towards it and zf2 has a solid hardware plus mmc slot(however mmc slot is not my priority), yesterday it was the third time that mi4i was successfully added to my cart on flipkart but due to some bad reviews about mi4i that is poor performance and heating problem, i did not buy it, if its a software part then i am quite indulged in flashing stuff and i will not have any problem in flashing new roms, but if its hardware prob than i won't buy such device.
I just want the help of existing users that does this device really heats a lot even after new software update, and is there any performance issues on this phone, as many people saying thay are having lags while playing games or videos.
A brief suggestion would be appreciable

I was looking at both phones when i was looking for a spare phone. I didn't get the zf2 because i didnt like the power button placement on the top. The mi 4i also feels much nicer in the hand and so far it has been a good little phone for me. Just the 16gb is a little limited

How about the heating issue and lags in games
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
So far i haven't ran into any heating issues, but the phone does get a little warn during games. I've play world of tanks blitz and vain glory and both run very well. 30 - 50 fps in world of tanks.

If it heats near the camera while playing heavy games then i think its completely ok as my nexus 4 even gets too hot sometimes when i play heavy games, but some users are reporting that the fone even gets too hot while they are on a call, and what about camera howz its performance in low light

Camera- is great there a theard here in general section (Pics posted ) don't know abt night camera never used it but I have heard ppl complaining abt it depends on what ur comparing it with
Heating issue. With each update its getting less annoying for me it heats like a regular phone which I have used for before nvr only gets warm while gaming
Display- best feature
Speaker- are low
Miui- my opinion it sucks
Battery- best
Build- premium feel

The area around the camera only gets warm and it's really not bad. Battery life is great, miui is ok, performance is quite good, screen quality is awesome. So far i am happy with it. Currently using it at my daily driver since i just got back my note 4 from service center.
Would you say that the Nokia 6 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Nokia 6 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Very sluggish device, the only thing that saves it is using stock android.
Camera takes 4 seconds to open on touble power tap from sleep mode which is almost a dealbreaker.
Fast and built very good.
This phone is not a flagship . OK now that we understand that this is not a flagship I can tell you this phone does everything my iPhone 7 and my galaxy s8 does . my Nokia 6 currently has 118 apps installed with a 64gb SD card in have no lag problems at all . you will notice a few times some delay but nothing that is even an issue . camera takes 3-4 seconds to open. Come on 4 seconds are people really crying because of 4 seconds.
This is an amazing phone for $228
I bought this phone as a replacement for my Nexus 6P that was suffering from a boot loop issue (c'mon Huawei, get your poop in a group - 13 month old phones shouldn't crap out for no reason!!).
I knew the CPU was under-powered compared to my N6P but I can't afford another premium device at this time as I'm still paying off the N6P via installments. I bought the subsidized version with Amazon Ads for $180
Initial impressions were great but now that I've owned it for a little over a week, I can confirm my thoughts. I've yet to find any app or even the few games I play that are noticeably slower on this phone compared to my N6P - 143 apps and counting.
I can only think of 2 issues I have with the phone's performance. Amazon Ads on the lockscreen suck and the camera takes a few seconds to open. Once opened, it snaps good pics relatively quickly and I really cannot complain about the delay all things considered.

I've gone from 6 am to 10 pm with about an hour of calls and 2-3 hours of SoT total before bed at 10 and never charged it.
As to the question for the Amazon ad version, it's entirely up to you. You can always opt to pay the money down the road to remove them later or try to hack the phone to remove them.
So far so good
I have the Nokia 6 TA-1025. I was looking for something economical yet had some decent hardware. I went through 2 Nexus 6's and wasn't going to risk another tablet sized phone slipping out of my fingers. The speed on this phone is definitely more than sufficient for my use. It is more responding than what my Nexus 6 was. The battery life very excellent as well.
good performance.. but heating and battery drains faster!!
