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 LG G8 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.

Got the t-mobile version about a week now & I've been noticing it runs warm even when just sitting on the table no charging involved. I've disabled most settings I don't use.

Anyone else running warm??

According to gsmarena

'We should also note that even after extensive benchmark testing, the phone didn't get hot at all. Only the side frame, which is made of metal, tends to get warm but that's normal given the horsepower under the hood. We found the phone to be one of "coolest" ones around with a high-performance SoC.'

Concerned if that isn't true as I'm looking at this phone when the price drops.

Gets hot with GPS and games. Not sure if this is T-Mobile model specific.

I've also got the US T-Mobile version and it seems to get hot/warm using Bluetooth and playing music for roughly 45 mins not if a particular setting causes it or the case I'm using.

Due to this the phone gets a little laggy but cools down once Bluetooth is off.

Very cool surface temps, no different than the N10+ nor 7 Pro in this regard. CPU looks fine. ATT model.
