Do you think its a hardware issue or can it be software fixed?

In every review they say it will overheat during video recordings

I think it is depending on how you use the device before recording videos. If you for example watch 30 minutes videos and then start the recording, there will be some issues. But usually it should not be a problem day to day

I only record videos for less than 2 minutes, no overheating so far.

Andrej123 Have you tried to record for more than 5 or 10 minutes to see if it overheats?

A phone should not overheat because of that imo.

Mine overheat rapidly (more or less after 2 minutes of recording) but only in the 1080 60 image per second mode. No problem with the 30 i/s mode. I think the processor can't handle it. Too weak. Maybe the xperia x performance doesn't suffer of this weakness. Sad for us. Maybe it is just a question of optimization but i dont't think so.

Yes my phone does. If you have done something, like taking photos and edited them, after that you can take video few seconds and you start get overheat messages. And video shooting if you "pan" scenery lots of details cause same and image starts to "jump".... waiting update.

@Franzfume

@Uliwooly, you seem to have no idea what´s going on here.. The latests Xperia phones are overheating when useing the camera in both picture and video mode.. Even the Z5 is doing it after Marshmallow update came out.

But all you do is to think it´s because of a third-party app but it ain´t!!

There is something seriously wrong with the camera software or even the app itself because the camera is overheating..

I´ve done quite a few tests myself with the Z5, X and X-P and they all have the same issues with overheater due to camera useage mainly in video mode 30/60fps, in picture not as much but still happens.

I wish Sony could and would update the camera app from version 1.2 to 2.0 or something and make real improvements in picture/video quality and fix the panorama mode which is so low-res by todays standard..

My experia x does this. I really am disappointed. Don't really use the camera but continue to charge and use my windows phone for pics and videos as much higher quality and more reliable.

Mine doesn't overheat while using camera but when I play fifa 15 for around 30-40 minutes it start to heat and cools down fast enough but it's not that serious as compared to m4 aqua.
