Heat - Nexus 6P 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 Huawei Nexus 6P 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!

I think the large size of the 6P helps to dissipate heat. Seldom does the phone warm up except when doing a lot of video, and even then it's warm, not hot.

Actually doesn't get that hot. only twice it got warm. initial set up and once in my car on a warmer than average day.

Find it no better or worse than other phones i have owned

Have not noticed any overheating in the least bit.

It can get warm but hardly hot like Samsung phones.

I haven't been able to get my phone to top 38C. The only way it hit that was after about half hour of continued gaming use, which I don't think is hot.

I don't have any real world temperature readings but it seems to get uncomfortably warm to hold against your ear when you are on a call for a long time. Plus playing games or watching videos ramps up the temperature quickly.

In normal usage the heat is low and the phone flies but even only somewhat intensive games definitely heat up the phone faster and the framerate suffers.

Phone does warm up on not so intensive tasks. A bright screen would do this. It's definitely not what I'd describe as 'hot' ala my Z3. However... I believe the phone throttles the performance quite a lot when it gets warm.

Exactly the same than other phones i have owned

interesting how people have diferent opinions.
this phone gets HOT, not if its sitting on the table and if ur facebooking, but use the camera for 10-15min straight, or navigation in a car, or skype, it gets hot that I cant put it on my face afterwards.
But same **** happens with Note5 as well, they are just very powerfull devices.
But saying it doesnt get hot is a straight forward LIE.

The 6P only got quite hot during initial setup.

similar heat with other s810 machine for mine

Or any other... My gs1 used to get really hot.... So did my g2x which was the first dual core phone.... I have yet to see this phone get as hot to the touch as those

i had the note 4 was overheating so much that i cant hold it

It does get a tad warm, but nothing compared to my S4 which was literally hot

It's normal.

The nexus 6p has surprised me. My initial thoughts when i first setup my device was this device gets hot. It's almost been almost a month and I've got to say this device is just like any other device. I still believe the nexus 6p does a better job of heat dissipation than other smartphones

My 6P never really goes over 40 degrees Celsius.

My N5 comes nowhere near as hot as my N4, only slightly warm. And that is while playing Ingress and streaming music at the same time, something that would make my N4 choke

Mine's so f'n hot I can't stand it :good:
Warm across the top half and it seems I only need to have the screen active to cause it.
As I've said elsewhere, web browsing, email reading....nothing that should be stressful makes that top half of my phone notably warm (front and back)
Edit:
Just played Carmagedon, top half isn't getting any hotter but there's surely no way that web browsing should cause the same heat levels that a game does......
mine is so hot i cant stop staring at it

when i ran benchmark software(separate cpu and gpu apps), I only noticed the top half getting slightly warm. only on the back side
I noticed this afternoon that my phone was getting really hot in my pants. I pulled it out to check and it appears that the phone had shut off. I had to turn it back on, apparently something wonky happened.
Don't judge me....
I was playing Tiny Death Star for 2.5 hours (burnt %40 of my battery). I am extremely happy with that. I'm assuming I could easily get to 5hours screen on time. I did notice that the top half was getting warm (read:not hot). I came from using a HTC One X and it is definitely running a lot cooler than that phone.
Judging by the massive heat sink I have on my quad core processor in my computer (it weighs 500g), I think the phone is doing alright only get warm and not melting through your fingers.
Top portion heats a lot in my nexus 5. It all started after using fault 3.5 mm jack.
My n5 gets warm, but no where near as burning hot as my n4 did. But a lot of that has to do with plastic/glass. I've actually read that the snapdragon 800 on average runs hotter then the snapdragon of the n4. It's all about the materials.

Nexus 5 Heating
I have been using ma new N5 for the last one month and I realized that the device is getting heated up while browsing on 3G network and also playing HD games too.
Following are the few solution I am preferring:
1. Avoid stressing too much the Nexus 5 to prevent overheating injuries. Take a break sometimes.
2. Remove any casing whenever you are playing HD games(High Graphical) to let heat flows out.
3. It is recommended not play games while the phone is being charged unless your room is very cool.
Phones are getting silly thin and super power full = heat

Avoid using the Chrome browser as it tends to make the CPU run at high frequency and heat up the phone. Its a known issue for users but Google has done it deliberately to make the chrome run smooth.
Gets hot while playing certain games
i have tried a lot of games(asphalt 8, badland, dead trigger 2 etc) my phone generally has no major heating issues but two games plants vs zombies 2 and injustice really heats up the back of the nexus 5 to the point of unbearable. Also PvZ 2 drains the battery really quickly. Is anyone of you having the same issues? though anything else like videos or webbrowsing does not heat up the phone just makes it warm but such few games are causing lot of problems.
I can easily reach 100 F (or higher) just using dolphin browser. I haven't owned that many android phones, but that seems a little excessive. I would understand that temperature for a game, but not just for some web browsing...
It gets warm, but not hot like my Note 2 did.

[Q] Does the Nexus 5 run a little hot by default?

Just got a brand new Nexus 5, the newer batches with the speaker hole a lil bigger, and on stock rom and kernel it seemed to run a wee bit hot doing nothing, or very minimal tasks like going through main settings...
Is this normal? I can understand any phone getting hotter with a heavy load like some video games, but not while doing almost nothing... My ancient old LG Motion 4G is stone cold, even with heavy tasking, and I know that's not a fair comparison, but I wonder...
Will try a custom Kernel, and see if some settings help...

its normal.
your old LG wasnt a 2.3ghz quad core either. depending on what the temps are around you, and what tasks you are doing with the phone, its normal for it to be anywhere from 30C-70C. even if you are playing cpu intensive games, it can be normal for your device to hit 80-85C. at 100C, itll automatically shut down to cool off.
Personally I think the n5 stays pretty cools, mine sits around 40c with normal usage and even with gaming ita around 60c.

If it's just a little hot, it's probably normal. Mine doesn't seem to get hot under normal usage, though I suppose even if it did I wouldn't notice because I have it in a TPU case all the time. How hot it get probably varies from chip to chip, as no two CPUs are 100% identical. If it starts throttling under normal usage, then I would be concerned.

Heats while gaming and then it throttles. Phone itself doesn't get much hot but the metal frame can get uncomfortable

using a case solved this problem for me....
Heat is not an issue for me even when stressing the OP2 with mild gaming. It feels about as cool as my 6P in normal use.
No issue regarding heat for me. I can only get my phone slightly warm if i repeat geekbench over and over for 15 minutes

It gets hot as much as any other phone I have tested. The aluminium frame gets quite warm when gamming or any intensive cpu activity, but it's not a big issue.
Heat is an issue every time I reboot
Latest update 2.1.2 improved Op2 alot. earlier when I used to play NFS no limits on stock kernal temp raised upto 43 but now after update it hardly cross 41 degree. so heat management is improved alot. :good:
Great work OP team keep pushing updates :highfive:
I am also very happy with the new update 2.1.2. I am using AK kernel though, so I can't say how it works with stock... but can't complain about the heat issue.
When using cardboard phone gets to 50+ degrees
Heating is normal comparing to other phones..
Got a bit too warm but it's acceptable
heat
no problem for me. haven't exceeded high 90's F. i am not a gamer.
I've never had an issue with heat here

I'm on OxygenOS 2.2.0 and it works great.. it gets a little bit warm while playings havy games but it is cooler than my Nexus 4 or my sister's OnePlus One.. so it's ok for me!
Aggressive throttling
My note 3 was the only phone I have ever had heat issues with
I've had less heating issues on the oneplus 2 than the oneplus one
In all honesty I haven't had a problem with heat and my oneplus 2. Yes, it DOES get hotter than other phones, but not even close to uncomfortably hot. I am perfectly fine playing High Definition 3D games on my OPT
It got really uncomfortable playing high GPU/CPU intensive games. I had to quit gaming on mobile. Normal usage is fine.

Does the device get hot?

Does it get hot under normal usage? How much degree celcius are you getting while doing basic task and watching video?
No no heat problems on mine. I believe Sony has introduced new technology for the heat problem.

Nope no signs of phone getting warmer. Played perfectly fine.
My XZ or XZs didn't get hot or even slightly warm, exactly the same deal with this, I would say it runs even cooler!
That link only offers me a max of 1080/60 not 4k

Well, I have been testing my XZP for two now. It is getting warm - definitely. If you put it under extreme load, it´s getting warm, even that warm your palms get a little sweaty - but not uncompfy warm. My LG G4 in comparison got that hot you´d barely wanna touch it.
Look for an app on Google play called "epic citadel" and run it.
Left it going for about 30 minutes and walked around a bit. Phone got Luke warm. Used 8% of the battery.
Not so much hot to me

Any and all computer(s) CPU's will get warm to hot depending on the load. This is the nature of the beast. But mine does not get warm at all the way I use it. My battery life is phenomenal!
Gets warm if you play games for a long period, but nowhere near hot. Also I noticed that, compared to my old phone, the warmth is pretty much the same on the entire back. It's not just hot where the chipset is. All in all, the phone is awesome regarding heath control.
The phone does get hot after a while.
It's cool most of the time, and even if it gets hot, it has great cooling so leaving it alone cools it off in minutes.
As for the temperature, i was doing a stress test the other day (3D) and the phone seems to have capped at 38-39 Celsius degrees (that is slightly higher than body temperature so you can definitely feel it). I didn't check temperature after that though.
It also gets warmer while both watching and shooting at 4K, or high speed (even 1080p though).
However trust me, if you had the Z3 Compact like I did, that phone was a freaking furnace. My battery was affected by it. If want to use my Z3C as a gps in my car, i have to shove it in front of the AC to keep it cool otherwise I'm afraid it's going to evolve into a Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
So this phone is a big big improvement. Though I'd like a phone someday that definitely doesn't get hot. But maybe that's too much to ask.
As I'm typing this, after about 30 minutes of active use, my battery is 35 celsius degrees. From normal use.
A cell phone is just too small to dissipate heat in a very efficient manner. That is why super fast, and powerful, gaming desktop PC's have several fans installed in them along with huge heat sinks sitting right on top of the CPU. The heat sinks are larger than this entire phone! I am an IT Systems Engineer and if you've ever had the opportunity to go to a large data center where servers are housed you will quickly notice the high volume of moving air in the entire area. It can even get quite cold in some data centers all for the same reason... Computers can get very hot! So the fact that OEM's can keep these things as cool as they do, with the CPU housed in such a small, airtight space, is really a marvel of engineering.
Hello , the phone doesn't get hot like my z2 is used to be , I've managed twice to get the phone (on purpose) , but with normal usage 4K video / gaming etc it won't get hot unless you spam many task at hight speed

No only on Galaxy 8 but most of the models get heated while extended use. It is better to keep it from using it prolonged hours. I have not heard any incident of blast but it is good to be safe.
It is not about particular brand but it happens with almost all of the brand. If you use any mobile devices for prolonged hours it will get heated and sometimes may be exploded.

Lol....3 posts and you can came to spot this nonsense?!
Using TomTom app for over an hour yesterday and my S8 really contributed to global warming. No it wasn't charging at the same time and not attached to the windshield nor in direct sun-light.
On the other hand I experienced this same effect with previous smartphones ?
You wouldn't expect to use a PC/Laptop for an hour or more and it not get hot. The same goes for a phone which is essentially a small PC!
max Temp with mine under load is 43°c (Aida64). Battery is a bit lower.
Anyways most if not all of the modern SoCs are getting warmer then odler Models (Which is normal) . I think thats why many Devices have a Heartpipe build in now.
The only SoC where i was worried was the Snapdragon 810 in the HTC M9.
I found this device (G950F just to be more precise) to be a bit cooler than the previous iterations (and I've used all it's predecessors), probably the large footprint has an influence here as well.
Mine gets a little warm, but I haven't gotten it uncomfortably so, regardless of what I've thrown at it so far. Seems to top out in that "noticeably warm but not uncomfortably so" range, which is nice
Had my phone for only 24H no heat yet! but the same happened with my s7 edge for some reason even after re flashing the stock rom with ODIN it started heating like crazy! also I haven't taken it outside yet, my s7 edge's battery goes up to 37 outside! even up to 38!
Had mine for 2 months now. It warms up after prolonged use but what do you expect? It's normal! Nothing unusual
