PERFORMANCE: Heat

[svetius]

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 Note5 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!

so much damage caused by the Qualcomm 810...even affects devices that don't run it...

The Note5 is generally very efficient in terms of temperature. To be frank, it's probably the second coolest phone I've tried this year after the ZenFone 2 and its Atom Z3850 SoC. The Exynos 7420 is remarkably cold even when gaming, albeit it can ramp up temperature after extended runs. I rarely see the device get close to 40 degrees Celsius, though, while my OnePlus 2 can reach that temperature in no time through gaming. The combination of a large body and the materials chosen definitely helps, but a lot of it comes from the general awesomeness of the Exynos 7420 and its small process size. Also worth noting is that the heat is pretty evenly distributed, which I love. It doesn't making gaming uncomfortable like on other phones.

With the Note 5 I can barely feel any heat. It's 1000 times cooler than the S6 edge I had. My S6 edge was always blistering hot no matter what.

My recent experience: Note 5 is way cooler than S6 and Oneplus 2. It only get warm after really extended use.

heavy use (browsing + music streaming + youtube) while on 4G can definitely warm up the device. significantly. On WiFi the heat is much lower in my experience.

Even when playing clash of clans the device is just lukewarm ?

Zenfone for the win! One of the coolest devices I have ever owned. (Apart from the HTC Dream xD)
But my Note is also quite cool, but when charging and watching YouTube, it gets a bit hotter.

Sometimes on charge, this phones get really hot but after a while it settles down. No heat otherwise.

 

[shriganesh]

Lol!!! If any other devices are in close vicinity

So gutted this phone isnt available in the UK. We were just given the s6 Edge + and unfortunately I'm not a fan, much rather have a stylus.

 

[rowihel2012]

just bought it
i feel it is not a samsung phone
fantastic
no over heat like the ****ty note 4

Soft and smooth, really liked the heat generation management, only feels the warmth following wireless charging.

 

[teravain]

Though not a note 5, I noticed that my note 4 never gets hot either. The only time I have felt it warm at all is when its been on a the fast charger for an extended length of time. It could be this is an intentional design of the series since its supposed to be for business use.

Ok this phone does get hot. Not only just charging fast wired and fast wireless. If your using your phone for a LONG period of time, constant screen on time, HD youtube videos, twitch, messenger video/chat, snapchat video and tethering. It's no surprise that this phone, like my note 3 and droid bionic before is the Achilles heel of any phone. These phones cant handle all this Snap chat vids, messenger video chat, wathching HD college football, NFL and Lebron James winning the NBA title. The more we use the screen, the hotter this phone gets, using ebay social media is no problem. But when you max the battery, ram CPU and put a load on the phone, it will get hot. Causes to get hot during my usage:

1. HD Video youtube, Netflix, twitch
2. Mobile tethering
3. Video Chat Snapchat, messenger video, Google hangout Video etc
4. Using your phone for for 2-4 hours straight!!!
