I live in Norway, and I rarely let my phone get warmer than ~35 degrees, and since I rarely watch clips longer than 5 min on it, and rarely record videos longer than a min or two, this isn't a problem (Norway's cold weather also helps I suspect).

This summer, however, I will be in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia etc), and I'm a little worried about what the heat there will do to my phone, especially as I haven't had any issues with glass raising etc. Any experiences?

Don't worry, Z have a temp sensor and if it gets too hot the system will lower the cpu clocks and turn off some cpu cores to avoid overheating ;).

If it is 35 degree Celsius then you phone is so cool. My one goes 55-56 degree if I play temple run for 10 minutes. 35 is very low.

Thank you all for your replies. Those temperatures you guys are mentioning seems insane! Aren't your hands burned? :p

The main reason I asked is because I'm a bit worried about the whole back panel lifting issue.

Don't worry about that. Sony created the service "Battery warning".
If phone exceed the limit tempurature, it will show the warning message and control (stop) some services.

yeah I agree, my battery/cpu temp is like 35+ degrees when I just wake the phone up after its been sleeping for a few hours.

35 C comes from your body temperature ;).

This good point. But lets say the Z dont have this sensor. So the phone will turn into fire ball?:D

woaa:eek:. 56 degree? Your phone is burning bro:eek:. If i play asphalt 8 on max graphic the phone temp goes to 41- 43 as maximum to me.

mine gets about 70 degrees everytime.

but it doesn't matter because of the thermald shutting the device down if its too hot.

Then I must say your unit got a real cool mind :p, well your unit produce reasonable heat which is very good. But for S4 Pro CPU, 55-56 degree is not the temperature to worry about. Even my Optimus G also heats same as my Xperia Z and both phone uses exactly same hardware. So far I know, above 75 degree is a red alert for this types of CPU though they will shut down before reaching that temperature. Still I am jealous of your phone :p because if your one stays cool that mean you have a better battery backup.

Mine is getting normally something around ~60 degrees Celsius (CPU temperature) when using it normally, but when the system boots it reaches even 71, so don't worry, it won't burn or explode hehe. And as it was already mentioned it has an overheat protection :)

We can always put it in some cold water, to avoid overheating :)
