Mine stays cool until i use mobile data or GPS. Charging makes it a little warm but nothing overly bad

I had to ask this, did you had your note 7? is it better?
Lol cheap shot. Note 7s on fire. Lol. Gets a little warmer than g5.

My g5 does great. I shut off my thermal mitigations. Forced 2d gpu. Run mine like crazy and it stays so cool compared to my g4
Wifi for prolonged use is the only thing that really gets the heat up on my G5. And then it's only sometimes.
I disabled most of the bloatware that came with the phone. That stuff is always active so killing a lot of that helped.

Bought my h860 a month ago, (Taiwan version i think), didn't upgrade the Android at all, still at 6.0.1, original v10a, been playing need for speed no limit and injustice 2 for hours while on battery, not getting too hot, quite pleased. Rebooted twice when i tried to start a game on emulator (dolphin) and when i played ppsspp for more than 2 hours, constantly loading saved games in Burnout Legends. How do you turn off mitigations, i don't have it in the Developer Options.
Heats up under heavy use. With Wifi off and GPS off, it remains cool even in a pocket with Oreo.
LG G5 european version at least
Here what i did about the heating issue:
I completely dissasembled my phone down to the motherboard, nicely disconnected all devices with a plastic pry tool from the motherboard. Just on a personal to those who do wonder, all the shielding on the SOC`s are not soldered to ground, they can be opened simply with a prying tool(do be very carefull when opening the shields). I literally applied MX4 thermal paste on the soc`s (crazy dude aint i?) spreaded around so the coat is even especially on the ARM cpu which is beneath, basically on the back of the phone, which is why you feel it getting more hot there, then put the shielding back together screws back in, cover, battery in, turned the phone back on, cleared dalvik cache and rebooted the phone to system. Why clearing dalvik? because after the system restarts it regenerates the dalvik cache on all apps, before actually going into android, and this operation heats up the cpu intensively if you dont have any thermal paste on there. But since mine had...while it was regenerating the dalvik cache, i felt no heat at all...and i think the battery stays a bit longer aswell now...
