Camera overheat: for how long can you record video?

Depending on the ambient temperature I can record [email protected] for:
5-7 minutes at 20-23 C
2-5 minutes at 25-28 C
That is starting from cold. I assume the overheat is expected, however I'd like to know how it compares to others. Would you please try it and post your results here? Thanks

Well I can record 4K/1080p60FPS without any issues between 20-25 C...cpu temp reads up to 52C...
But it's the start of summer here and we usually have 28-32 C! (more than 80% humidity).
Now I can record up to 5mins of 4K/1080p60FPS before getting the temperature warning message! (start from cold)
cpu temp shows 56-58 C these days which is normal...

At least on my device, the video recording is a strong function of ambient temperature. While I don't actually use it to record continuously for more than 5 minutes, which used to work fine in winter, now I had the unpleasant surprise to have it stop the camera in the middle of my shooting my child's performance, less than 5 minutes, air conditioned but still at around 25C I reckon. I will be wary then about filming in 60fps from now on.

Managed to record 18 minutes FullHD 60fps before camera shut down. Ambient temp 22C

Thanks. That's good, I guess. Compared to my numbers.
Update: tried it again, for science as at work I have a quite precise thermometer, 24.7 C. Got the warning at around 4 mins, stopped at 5min40sec.

It gets warmer - ca. 40C, but didn't noticed any lag caused by it, so no overheating for me.

No overheating, seems the snapdragon 820 has solved the heat problem of the 810. Till now never experienced a temperature higher than 40-43°C. And no lags.

Mine lags specially if I set video to 4k. And also if im doing multi tasking.

My phone only gets little warm near RGBC/laser but thats it. G3 was almost all the time hot/red hot near/under power button. When i tried to snap some test photos and about 3 mins of 1080p video and 5-8min 4K it got warmer but nothing more, after shutting camrea apk down i got a warning that the device is hot and camera wont be avaliable for a while. When charging it gets warm but that is normal. There is no lag or stutter, maybe when you played some graphically advanced games NOVA,RR3, simcity when you power down after unlocking ther is a half second lag before a animation/start screen kicks in and thats all, interface runs preety smoothly

sony xz is so ****. it lags like a mother ****er and over heats. cant send 4 snaps with out it having a fit. Then once it starts i cant record a snap it just jips and zips about. i dont understand y its doing this. its a brand new 500 quid phone.. it shouldnt be doing this 3 months into buying this ****

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.

Can you tell me what degree celcius of the CPU and battery when doing basic tasks

Does it get warm while watching 4k content? Like in this video https://youtu.be/cjApm_Stl5Y

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

Because video in link is recorded to 1080/60fps...

The phone is runs cool and somehow has what's turning out to be quite a long battery life

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

HTC U 11 Temperature issues?

Hello, I have been using HTC U 11 for a couple of days now. I find it really odd that the temperature is kinda little high at all times. here are my observations.
before I start im from chennai and the avg temperate here ranges from 28 to 35 on a normal day.
I first noticed heating when I was recording a FHD video at 60FPS for more than 3 min. The camera stopped taking video due to overheat. The phone was uncomfortably hot. But then I realized maybe its because I was riding as pillion in motorcycle while recording and it was 1 PM in the afternoon with Sun burning your eyes. So I thought maybe its because of that.
then taking any 4K, hyperlapse videos increased temperature. So i used CPU temp to analyze the temperature(with back case removed) I was in a AC Hall with room temperature of around 26 degrees C and the starting temperature was 36 degrees C in my phone. Then,
I took two 4K videos 1 and 2 minutes each and the temperature went from 36 to 47 and once the video is finished it settled back to 41. the CPU was at 1900 MHz while recording and throttled down to 300Mhz once its done.
then I ran 3D Mark tests. it gave me a score of some 2.7K with an average FPS of 25 but while performing this test my CPU went to a whooping 53 degrees C and settled back to 45 degree C once its done. Normal Phone operations like FB, reddit, discord etc gives me around 36 37C which still, i feel is too much and despite being a glass body I have never felt any form of chillness even after hours of being in AC room it was always pleasantly warm when normal use to uncomfortably warm on high use.
Do you guys think that I have a defective device? I still have 4 days on free return policy with the seller. should I replace my phone?

I'd say it's normal for a phone.
Video recording and running heavy games is the most difficult tasks for smartphone (maybe now it's VR & AR), I'm not surprised at all if the temperature raises at 42 degrees or more.
Benchmark apps like 3D marks take full power of computing capability, no wonder why it gets even hotter.
Smartphone is a smartphone, not a PC nor a GoPro.

yeah! i thought that too. actually i think for a processor like 835 normal temperature is 35 36. I do understand that Optical Image stabilization and image stitching are quite heavy tasks . maybe im paranoid. I just want to make sure it doesnt damage the phone in the long run. Also its kind of a pride thing . you see from where I am, There are tonnes of pun and memes about cheap MI phones and heating. So people around here were like you have a $700 phone(thanks to all the customs and import duties) and it heats like a $50 MI phone?. *smh*.
Do you think installing custom rom can increase performance? I really want to get rid of that HTC companion, news republic, facebook and messenger. FB sucks. it takes up almost 300MB of RAM at all times.

It would not damage your phone but as we speak of the "long-term", something you probably should know:
If you keep using your phone for heavy tasks and temperature of the device is always at 38°C or higher, it could decrease the battery life. Higher temperature would cause the loss of battery capacity. You probably should be careful.
As for MI phones, 50$ is hard to get one. And heating meme is because of Qualcomm S810 back in 2015, for HTC, Xiaomi, as well some other devices. Some people just couldn't get over it even we have S835 today.
For RAM consumption, I'd say leave it, because on the one hand, U11 has 4GB of RAM, 300MB does no harm. (the theory is, the free RAM is some sort of a waste, you don't need to be careful about the RAM usage as long as you don't experience serious lag) on the other hand, you can always disable the apps if you don't need them. Installing another ROM won't make these apps running with less RAM.

Planning to buy this device have some questions.

I am planning to buy this device but I fear of some major issues normally exist with xiaomi devices and as well I know xiaomi it is expert in ignoring it or fixing it. Still I want to go with xiaomi again because I have learnt everything about its boot-loader unlocking and rooting.
I have redmi 3s and it suffers very serious problems like low fps stuttery video, Low data download speed even coverage, hoooooooorible audio recording quality. ( I should not complain about how much it gets hot as it comes with pretty mediocre chipest)
My friends also informed me about dead pixel issues. Even I have replaced my screen once.
I just want to keep running 4 apps at once with no heating or lag.
Is there any serious bug or issues with this device that I should know before buying this.

there is very minor screen bleeding which is not noticeable untill and unless you stare for a few seconds near the punch hole. No dead pixels for me. Multitasking is good easily handles a browser and few apps in the background. the main con with this device is the battery backup. if you are planning to use this device on 120hz then be ready to juice up your device atleast 2 times a day for me it is close to 4.

Umm fps in this X2 is around 50-60 fps in gaming and according to me camera fps is related to camera if company claims 960 fps then I will give but quality suffer sometimes ...and seriously I see many user compaling about battery it has 120hz screen with around 6.67 inch it's good that device is giving 5-6.5 hr continues gaming and if without gaming it can run for 1 day ver easily ( I play game for about 1-1.5 hr and I charged daily morning .. and heating is very common in all device but it can prevent by taking some steps like don't use while charge ... (Seriously I never feel any heating issue)
