Heat

The Midnight Black 3T almost gets too hot to hold when in sunlight for too long. One thing that concerns me is the heat when charging - Dash charging is awesome but if I charge it on my bed the phone gets really hot, which I'm hoping is just because it's summer time and quite hot in general during the night.

The heating isn't great, it gets hot in non-gaming tasks occasionally and even just being in my pocket. But I expect these to not be issues in the winter.

I was streaming some music last night and noticed my phone got very warm.. never did that before. Also getting a little warm while charging which I thought the new charging system was designed to keep the heat in the charging brick. Could have gotten a bad rom flash or something. Going to return to complete stock later today, see if the heat remains. I've had this phone for a while now and this is the first time I've noticed it getting warm no matter what I was doing.. Seems really random which tells me it's likely something gone wrong during a flash or something.

It sometimes warm on games and 4G. But no issues on working, only screen's up side is warm. I have it in my "book" case. Also if room's temperature is high, phone gets hot. Otherwise i like my new smartphone

phone getting hot is normal. the phone is made of metal so the heat gets spreaded and the phone is getting the heat out through the metal.
it is better than phone made of plastic.

if you wanna charge it and use it and you feel the phone is getting hot... there is nothing we can do.. maybe remove the case for a while.

if you see the teardown you will see that the oneplus 3/3t is well built and the heat spread is very good.

the issue with the heat is not the phone heat but the battery heat.

don't get the battery heated to 40 deg...
