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 Sony Xperia XZ 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.

Heats up very quickly through normal use and ambient weather temperature, struggles to lose the temperature then begins to lag.

Same here, even with Marshmallow and Nougat during normal use. Actually with Oreo seems no problem

it has been the same when ambient temperature is high the phone simply cant handle the heat and u can have marshmalow or oreo no mather what it wont help...phone starts to lag to a point when u have to turn it off for few mins and the use it again...it has beeen like this since xperia z3+/4 and z5 with SD810 under the hood...Sony is very bad at reducing heat in there devices...i compared other devices with same chipset and even if they get warm or hot they still work like they should...why Sony offers us a highend phone with lowend capabilities...i remember the perfomance of my xperia z2...4k recording up to 1 hour no problem ,i could play games more then hour and the phone got warm sometimes even hot to touch but it worked with no LAGS....and last one most anoying is the screen input touch ,just go ahead and compare every phone u can with xperia and ull notice the lag in the screen input...so bad from Sony also XZ is probably my last xperia and i had Z,Z2,Z5 they were good but the competition is far better.and last one Xperia phones should sell for winter gadgets,couse u can warm up ur hands if u need to LOL...cheers guys

My phone stopped recording 4K video after 2 minutes with error messages about heat. Had to close camera app for 5 mintues to be able to record another 1 minute. Completely hopeless phone.

I tried to play heavy games like Asphalt 8, PUBGM and Mobile Legends, It reaches like 50-60 degree celsius to the point where I can't even hold the phone. When recording only in 720p / 1080p, it warns me that the phone is overheating and disables some of the functionality and the room temperature is at 15-18 degree celcius

I wasted my money buyiny this crap. I can't ever use the camera due to overheat & it shuts down. Thanks to a G-camera 5.0 version that works withouy camera 2 api enabled. So anyone can use that without adb or flash. That's 5.0 version G-camera saved me. Else I would have never able to use Camera itself in my phone. But apps & games? Omg. I have become a optimization expert using this phone. Through choosing apps among many for the same category of Functionality. Bcz everything lags due to a small 3GB ram. Only marshmallow did it lagged. But since Android 7 lag & heat has become a part of this device. So now others ask me apps for a cetrgory which is most optimized & I suggest them. ? ?
