Gets a bit warm, not over whelming, about the same as my Nexus 5X
While it gets a touch warm - even when it was downloading and installing all 150 apps, 15GB of Google Play Music, with Folder sync doing data transfers it still stayed much colder than my Z5C ever did with a couple of minutes use. That would probably burn toast!
I thought it got pretty warm, but idk. The material might have just transferred heat to my hand easier because my hand was sweating and you could see it on the back of the phone.
The phone gets REALLY hot when its constantly downloading something.
Anyone got any battery temps? If I run games for an extended period I end up around 43C. Cooler than my Moto X Pure which would hit like 47C.
Idle and light use around 30-33C. The phone has never felt hot to me in any circumstances so far.
"Feels kinda warm" isn't a very good measurement.
If anybody can provide heavy load or gaming temps I'd appreciate it. Also any additional info such as case or no case.
Usually if u charge and use a device at the same time that's when things get hot pixel 2 got warm enough to feel threw a tough spigen case wile browsing and charging nothin crazy
Hmm not great. I came from a note 7 which was very warm to a note 8 which was ever so cool. Considering the pixel but the heat issue among other things is a right turn off.

it will not get as hot as your note 7. note 7s had a few of them explode which just goes to show that sometimes the phone would get hella hot. not a lot of them did so it wasnt a huge problem when referring to how many blew up vs how many were sold but i presume higher than avg temps on all of them
It gets hot sometimes even when you aren't doing anything.
No heat issues so far. The best example for heat is to use Hangouts video calls. Generally with every previous phone I've owned I got a massive battery drain and heat when using FHD video calls. With the Pixel 2 the difference is huge.
We have to consider that this phone is easily ramping the big cores to 2.45Ghz and still maintains a good temp. I'm not suffering temp throttle like I was used after 5 minutes or more of continuous usage/browsing/etc.

It only gets warm when charging. I did not experience any kind of extreme heat coming from the phone and im a heavy user.
Only gets really hot when using AR, not so during games
I havent found anything to overheat the pixel 2 and im a heavy user. BUT that would be a lie. ****ty snapchat can make it warm up sometimes and well, Ark Survival really heats it up and eats right through my battery.
Pixel 2 Hotter after CreamPie update
My Pixel 2 is warmer than usual since the update. Prior to the update, it heated up a couple times mostly due to crappy game apps, which I removed.
Now it gets hot under various circumstances like running Android Auto, which is currently unstable until they release an update to fix whatever they did to break Android Auto.
It also gets warm in my pocket. I'll notice it's warmer, pull it out and cant see any reason that would cause it to warm up so much. This Pie update is crap.
Dont upgrade if you havnt already. At least wait for them to fix the bugs in Pie.
Could you test CPU temp and throttling using this app? It would be really useful.
I usually set it for just 5 minutes and it's enough. Also, tick the boxes in settings to show cpu temp and share a screenshot. Thank you!

Has anyone else's Vivid been getting pretty hot after using it for a while? If I'm playing a game or watching a movie it seems to get really hot.
Mine was getting so hot that I have taken my commuter case off, fearing for my battery longevity.
But it seems to only happen when doing intensive things that drain the battery quickly

I owned the phone for 30 minutes, had it on for maybe 20, then I noticed it was warm. After attempting to set it up partially(30 minutes)it was HOT....HTC hasn't changed much since I've used their devices many years ago. To me they are notorious for hot/warm phones.
mine gets warm... but im guessing its just the dual core in it. i know my cpu in my pc can get hot and if i do gaming or rendering, my whole apartment will eventually start to warm up. this is a phone, i know, but its cpu is pretty powerful and short of a fan, i dont see this devices staying normal temps.
Never have I had the phone warm up even after playing games for like an Hour or watching a Full Length Movie. Might want to check the battery and make sure it hasn't bubbled at all. Had this issue with an Atrix 2 and found that the battery was screwed up and they exchanged it for me (The whole Phone that is).
Doesn't get any hotter than my Atrix, also a dual-core phone. I guess it's the CPU indeed.

I have the International Galaxy S II, it's dual-core & it's only gotten hot once since I've owned it in May!!!!!
I've allowed my phone to reach as high as 100°F, and that's when charging and watching YouTube videos over wifi for a while. Otherwise, its standing charging temperature is about 85°F.
Just for reference, my Captivate once hit 156°F while charging and on the phone, over the course of just 20 minutes.
Okay, so just received my nexus 6 yesterday. it seems to get pretty warm while charging and playing simple games like crossy roads for around 10, the battery temperature goes to 42-4 degrees celcius. and while charging it also goes to around 41-42.
could this be due to the fact that this is a new phone and the phone is taking time to do its starting operations. will this problem eventully go away. i also updated to android 5.1
Hope i get a solve for this.
The app i use to monitor this is CPU Temp(also includes battery temp).

If using the quick charger, the phone will get hot. Especially when playing a game and charging

On the Turbo charger the first two step of the whole charge cycle are at a higher power 14.4W each the last is only 8W. More power more heat dissipation-especially if your using data and your processor is working hard, then it can get really hot. Toward the end if the change cycle it is considerably cooler-especially is your not doing anything in the phone.
Edit: I forgot in use the CPU can ramp up and get hot/warm(depending on how heavy the use(some "simple" games may have more running in background perhaps-like ads and such) but is pretty normal) but even more so if your on WiFi or data too.
Any phone gets hot while playing games and charging at the same time... The nexus 6 is actually pretty good with its heat compared to other Nexus phones.

Bro i wasnt charging and playing at the same time. When charging i keep the phone aside. Then it gets hot. Even while playing 10 mims of candy crush it gets upto 42 degrees celcius of the battery.
I had heat issues at first. I'm assuming all the app restoring I was doing was the culprit. I did decrypt my phone the very next day and it runs pretty cool

Phone heats up more than you would think since it's the 808 CPU. It's not super hot, but after like five minutes of hard use, it gets warm. Then it slows down as the CPU underclocks.
Remains cooler than the N5 in all scenarios and heat is dissipated more evenly through the device.
The lower internal and skin temperatures come at the expensive of decreased performance due to thermal throttling.
I notice mine gets a little hot under normal non game playing use, seen it get to 100F.
The top does get warm at times, but mostly extremely cool to the touch
Never had an issue with heat with a few months of use. Only time I've noticed it is when I'm running backup or restore in TWRP.
Compared to my S4 this is an ice cube. Maybe because I have the Ice Blue? The sim card holder in the S4 was starting to separate from the motherboard because of the heat!
It's gotten slightly warm a couple times sitting on the bed or a similar not well ventilated area but hard use and gaming doesn't make it boil. I've never been concerned about the temperature of this phone.
Occasionally gets hot in the pocket for no apparent reason
Phone does heat during multitasking 1 hour Skype call and heavy application of online betting and 1 more application but it does cool down automatically. Still love this phone
sorry
Gets heated while playing games, near Camera!!
My phone really gets hot after some ROM installation and few Boots up whithout resting. Around half top front and rear gets so hot that I can´t even make a call and I have to let it cool to keep using it as I´m afraid it would explode :S. Also performance has an impact when it gets hot obviously. LG, make some work with the cooling because this isn´t good.
My current phone heats up while using mobile data, quite hot actually, how does this phone do?

The website notebookcheck tests for thermals and had this to say about the 5x:
With idle temperatures of just over 25 °C, the Nexus 5X hardly heats up noticeably in idle mode. The handset is also unexpectedly cool under load despite the relatively strong SoC. The hottest spot measured reaches just 37.4 °C here - other premium smartphones often surpass 40 °C. The review sample can even shine with the lowest rates compared with its rivals.

Considering human skin temperature is around 38 degrees C, the 5x remains much cooler than most other devices. It still heats up, but it will be a few degrees cooler than other devices in all scenarios.
I've found the phone fine under every condition other than gaming.
The phone seems to suffer from not being able to dissipate heat very well with it being plastic. I've seen CPU temps get up to 47 degrees Celsius and seemed to throttle and affect gaming performance.

I think the reason is playing an elaborate game.I believe the native android by Google is no problem at all.
I read many reviews and Anandtech analysis of the problem, I was still shocked by how bad it is.
Just install two apps and scroll a bit in Spotify and the big cluster is throttled, holy hell this Snapdragon generation is a complete clusterf**k!
Snapdragon 801 is a lot better.

iam coming from a s801 phone (oneplus one).
it produced the same amount of heat during heavy usage.
i was not surprised after i had setup the 5x first time
s810 is way worse, s808 is actually ok.
Always stays cool exept when you are recording 4K or Slow-mo video.
and even when it turns off big clusters it still feels snappy to me .

I tell you do not use Skype video calling. That will drain your battery really fast and get so hot you can cook food on it

I think that's just what Skype does. I tried this on a Nexus 6p when I had it and man that software is ridiculous.
Yup Skype is a PoS no matter what platform you use it on. This phone is getting warmer after some continuous usage, nowhere near the M9 though, even after some 20 minutes gaming sessions
Get quite hot quite quickly, even in rooms that are not hot, but seems to cool down. Wi-Fi is the culprit I think. I have my radios off (Airplane mode) and put it in battery saver, so I'm not sure why it would be getting so hot.
It does get warm especially when it's charging and if you are doing anything extensive like gaming due to the unibody conducting heat but it does cool down fast though.
I play the same game very often, and honestly I must say that the phone is not too hot in that specific time.
I've had the "Time Out" warning a few times. But that's because it's usually been in sun light on a table or on my lap in the car. I haven't noticed extreme heat from just normal use yet. (While charging it can be warm, but this seems to vary based on the type of charger I'm using. My wife's crappy Walgreens charger seems to get the phone hotter than other chargers I've used)
When flashing rom and having it up the charger it got so hot it scared me, plugged off charger and cooled down some..
What should the temperature be during charging and a screen-on activity like GPS navigation? I regularly use my 10 in the car, connected to Bluetooth for Spotify streaming and running Google Maps for navigation. I regularly see temperatures between 105 and 115 degrees, which seems really high. I blow AC on it to cool it down, but I'm curious if this is safe/normal temps?
One time I just left my phone on my bed, went to the kitchen to talk to my mom for about 15-20 mins. I left the battery around 30%, came back to it on 3% and the phone was hot AF. I had no idea what happened since I didn't leave anything installed, nothing updated, it was just my regular usage and I left it on the home screen; I even cleared recents before going to the kitchen. I had no idea on what happened, rebooted the phone and it cooled down, charged it afterwards.

Never worry about temperature. The phone will throttle if it hits a specific temperature and if it gets too hot will turn off to protect itself.
Phones won't get hot enough to fry from factory because of safeguards.

Much improved from the M9. That phone would regular burn me. This one only warms up while charging really.

I give the HTC10 a 10/10 for heat rating. I've never ever felt the phone get hot, like the m9 did. My m9 will get too hot to hold without a bumper on it. Even with a rubber bumper it will still burn my ear. HTC10 is one of my favorite phones of all time right beside the original Nexus 5. Definitely the best phone of 2016.
I had it get hot on me once. I flashed a new rom & it was charging & optimizing apps. I always do that with case off & it doesnt get as hot

About the same as my old DHD, doesn't overheat much in general use unless it's in 35+ weather or in the sun. It's worse tho at charging, sometimes it charges normally and sometimes it will overheat and hit 42+ and then I have to unplug it and let it cool off before continuing. Happens even if I turn off internet and start extreme battery saving mode.

I just got my brand new Razer phone 2, and for general use like browsing, you-tube , social media it gets hot at the camera area ( CPU sensors says sometimes between 35-45°C , when gaming it goes up 55°C or maybe more ) I know it has a glass back so i don`t know if it is normal or not?
Played PUBG to test the phone. Set Razer Game Boost to 2.8 Ghz and the phone does a fantastic job of simply becoming warm all-over, instead of getting any hotspots.
I only play DC Legends, haven't noticed any hot spots, and general heat is very minor, but of course its not an intense hardware demanding game...
Edit: for other general usage, Youtube streaming, Pandora, etc., haven't noticed anything worth mentioning either, minor heat, no hot spots.
I run a spigen case on mine and even after long sessions the phone never seems to get too hot and I play games like xcom and pubg.
In cortex I always set the games to the max settings

Impossibly hot
I bought a Razer phone 2 last month and it stays cool when just browsing the internet or watching videos, but as soon as I play any games like PUBG or Brawl Stars the phone gets too hot to even hold. I don't know if this is something that I should contact Razer over but it's ridiculous. Not only does it get hot to the point where it is physically uncomfortable to hold, but the touch screen becomes glitchy and I'm practically unable to use it. I was completely baffled by how a phone who's main selling point was gaming and advertised a cooling chamber got hotter than any phone I've ever been through playing the exact same game (Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S9).

heat and obvious first question
I don't honestly put this phone down much throughout the day and I do have a silicone case, yet I don't notice much in the way of overheating unless it's charging. Not advisable to use resource heavy games while charging anyway. But even then it's not excessive.
My question is have you stitched the performance profile in Dev options.
Which then leads me to my noob question, if that profile is altereed does it take precendence over the cpu speed options in the booster app or is that what the app changes if Dev isn't enabled?

They're different options so neither takes preference over the other. The profile in the Dev options controls how early the device will start thermal throttling while the game booster app controls actual CPU clock speed.
Freezing Temps & Vapor Cooling?
I live in Minnesota and it's winter, so temperatures can sometimes drop to -40°.
Extremely cold temps made my HTC One shut itself off and report way less battery charge until the phone warmed back up to above freezing. And my LG Stylo 5 screen will gradually stop responding to touch if it is below freezing temps for too long. My concern is whether extreme cold has an impact on performance, especially considering the vapor cooling technology, what happens to the Razer Phone 2 if that vapor chamber is frozen?

Hi sir i've same issue with you but its the opposite, mine is so ****ing hot because even its rainy season but im live in tropical so temperatures can sometimes up to 40°.
of course my phone so easily raise the heat, cpu can up to 60° hot and battery can be 50°
Im even to scary to touch it when device becomes that hot. now i already buy a cooling fan from memo and it quite helps but find another issue because it uncomfortable to hold if put on to the device. i just wonder is case razer arctech really can make the phone more cooler like some few people?
