C5 Ultra Heating

Aha15 — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 15:28:28 GMT

Dear Forums Users,

I recently bought a C5 Ultra (hat to import it because this phone is not sold in Germany) and noticed a fair bit of warming next to the camera when browsing the web and chatting.
I read in the web that the chipset is likely to warm up pretty easily.
Should I be concerned? It is far from from being hot, just like a little heater....

Thanks in advance

I have a T2 Ultra, if you take a lot of pictures and play games and multitasking, it will heat up, at least mine does.

@uliwooly: okay, i did not use it that intensively, hardly played any games on it. But with the same tasks the C5 Ultra heats up a bit more in my opinion

Well, mind also that huge real estate: the display. That "thing" by itself can heat the entire phone once it's on! It's a beautiful "hot" almost bezeless display.

Yeah I love the Display, too 😉 but I real underestimated the amount of heat this Device can emit...
Googled a bit the processor used and read a lot about another smartphone with this processor which also heated up a lot
