Heat

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

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.

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

 

[pjilka]

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

 

[sasukee]

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.
