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 Samsung Galaxy S8 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!

No only on Galaxy 8 but most of the models get heated while extended use. It is better to keep it from using it prolonged hours. I have not heard any incident of blast but it is good to be safe.

It is not about particular brand but it happens with almost all of the brand. If you use any mobile devices for prolonged hours it will get heated and sometimes may be exploded.

Lol....3 posts and you can came to spot this nonsense?!

Using TomTom app for over an hour yesterday and my S8 really contributed to global warming. No it wasn't charging at the same time and not attached to the windshield nor in direct sun-light.
On the other hand I experienced this same effect with previous smartphones ?

You wouldn't expect to use a PC/Laptop for an hour or more and it not get hot. The same goes for a phone which is essentially a small PC!

max Temp with mine under load is 43°c (Aida64). Battery is a bit lower.

Anyways most if not all of the modern SoCs are getting warmer then odler Models (Which is normal) . I think thats why many Devices have a Heartpipe build in now.

The only SoC where i was worried was the Snapdragon 810 in the HTC M9.

I found this device (G950F just to be more precise) to be a bit cooler than the previous iterations (and I've used all it's predecessors), probably the large footprint has an influence here as well.

Mine gets a little warm, but I haven't gotten it uncomfortably so, regardless of what I've thrown at it so far. Seems to top out in that "noticeably warm but not uncomfortably so" range, which is nice

Had my phone for only 24H no heat yet! but the same happened with my s7 edge for some reason even after re flashing the stock rom with ODIN it started heating like crazy! also I haven't taken it outside yet, my s7 edge's battery goes up to 37 outside! even up to 38!

Had mine for 2 months now. It warms up after prolonged use but what do you expect? It's normal! Nothing unusual
