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 Xiaomi Mi 5s 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!

heating doesn't seem to be an issue, unless you're playing grafics demanding games... overall it's acceptable

The snapdragon 821 in known to thermal throttle. That fact is the same with this device. When the device is at room temperature, performance is great but as it approaches 35-40 Celsius, performance decreases noticeably in order to reduce heat. Overall, it is equal to what you could expect of any device using a snapdragon 821.

Yes, the only problem I got so far is the heat. It's above average but not the most.

Mine would heat up quite a bit before but then I used some thermal paste, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, on the cpu and gpu and it seems to fair a lot better now. Running PUBG for a while it doesn't go beyond about 52 and averages around 48.
