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 OnePlus 5T 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!

The only time it ever got warm was when I was charging it above 60% while playing a game otherwise it never even warms up.

I just tested mine out with a collection of Google Cardboard apps. While my last phone (LG G3 F460, SnapDragon 805) would heat up to an alarming degree and start throttling after about 15 minutes of any Cardboard app, I played for about an hour with my 5T and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't any warmer than when I put it into the headset! This impressed me and got me excited about Cardboard and Google VR again, which I was skeptical about with my last phone.

Yeap surprisingly it doesn't heat up even when using it while dash charging.

1080p 60fps video after about half an hour got the phone a bit hot, was in the hard case that came with the phone however. But it was still able to record. CPU was around 55c

Only on rare occasions like playing GPU intensive games or while decoding and encoding videos does it get slightly warm. It is the coolest phone I have ever used till now. I am overwhelmed!

This is exactly what baffles me. The phenomenon when you are able to pump about 4 amperes of current without its side effect of getting heated is actually something like "abra ka dabra" & "hocus focus" of the magical world! I am still intrigued by its quick yet cool "DASH" charging feature.

I think they designed the dash charging plugs to take all the heat for the phone. It's a pretty clever trick.

doesn't heat up quickly (played GTA SA for 30 mins )

if i use utorrent app in my oneplus5t, it heats within 5 mins and reaches almost 60 degree easily.
it is consistent behavior, which happens everytime.

Could you test cpu temp and throttling using this app? I think it's one of the best ways to measure cpu temp and performance.
I usually set it for just 5 minutes and it's enough. Also, tick the boxes in settings to show cpu temp and share a screenshot. Thank you!

Had this phone for quite a few month now. These days, I use it mostly for gaming(auto), no need to pay attention to it for sometimes. But it does get pretty hot. Not very suitable for handheld gaming (high-end games). What I do is put it somewhere with good air flow, room with fan/air-con, even on the floor (its cooler than on table...). My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 heats up way more that this phone, even on the floor, playing the same game. Just saying...

Other usage is just great. No overheat. Even mid-range game won't heat it up too much.

My phone can get a bit warm when watching YouTube videos and charging at the same time for a while.
