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 HTC U11 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!

gets a little hot once in a while

I haven't noticed much heat off of it, relatively, which might be due to the relatively low heat conductivity of the glass. It seems to generally be cooler than my M8 was though I haven't compared them side by side, but it certainly is cooler than the Galaxy S5 I often have on me.

Hi guys
what temperature do you have in cpu temp app ? My u11 never goes below 39 degres with screen on (to check cpu temp ) wifi connected but no download on going and no app in the background. Room temp is around 27. If i just play youtube it goes up to 42 ...getting warmer on the back

It just gets little warm while playing real racing 3. I don't play anything else heavy

Came to the U11 from an HTC 10. The 10 seemingly would get excessively hot if you looked at it funny. The U11 feels so much better in that regard. Not looking at actual temps. Just whatever my hand can feel.

Better than previous old series, don't get plug in to car charger too long. Use wall outlet or powerbank, it's safer

I used to use the phone without my backcover and not charge it anyway while going hard on cpu.
Other than that, i dont think there is another way to avoid the heat building up.
Todays Games need more and more CPU and GPU power, the phone is not the youngest anymore
