like when im playing dungeon defenders my phone gets really hot and then the game crashes i know that is an intensive gpu/cpu game but it also happens when im playing asphalt 6 i am in the middle of a race and then the game crashes and the phone is not even hot.
is any1 else having this problem or is my phone defective?
The graphics intensive games give the CPU a workout. I'm guessing its near the top of the phone because that's where the heat comes from. U also have to realize this is a very this device so heat is going to show itself pretty quickly. Mine gets hot during dungeon defenders but its a CPU intensive gam

My phone gets hot just by browsing for like 2hrs.....
Not sure if is the rom or is the hardware but when I play Raging Thunder 2 it gets really hot ( no, not warn..it's HOT! ). Not only that last night I download a 234mb game data it gets hot also. It seem like if you have a heavy consistent use app or process it gets hot. Im on StarBurst Rom 10/15/11
i use2 have same issue but after some days of full charges its not happening
So when I use the phone for web browsing or apps, sometimes it starts to get warm after a minute then get hot after, will my phone go black like others report and does your phone do this too? Thanks.
Sounds like you have too much running and it's causing the heat issue. It should not get hot just surfing the web. Maybe if you played games for awhile but not just surfing the web. So see what you have running or what's raising the cpu level real high.

Are you overclocked? What is your processor speed min/max, and governor?
How hot are we talking, do you mean? My phone will get warm when I play cpu intensive games but not for much else. The area around the camera is the only metal on it so that is where it all conducts through, the rest of the back is plastic so the phone would have to be melting hot for you to feel much through that and it would probably die before it got that hot. Like others said though, you might have a lot running in the background or if you overclocked then you might have gone too far with the overclocking.
I'm currently playing Clash of clans and with time the tablet seems to be kinda hot. I can feel the heat on the back of the tablet.
Is this an overheating issue or its totally normal?
Thanx

Totally normal I guess. It tends to get warm when playing games like clash of clans and some others. Mine gets warm a bit too
thanks for the answer. I feel better now. I thought i had a faulty tab.

If the back cover gets out of shape or anything,then take it back. Until then, enjoy your Tablet!
Not sure why it gets too hot, mine is the samrle. I still have my 3 y/o gtab 7.7 dual core and it never get too warm for COC. Battery drain on that tablet is minimal as well, feels like you're just browsing, then our quadcore tab S drains too much juice when playing coc
I would put GSam Battery Monitor on your tablet, and set the battery temp alarm to say 50c and then game for a while, if the alarm goes off straight away, them raise the temp to 60c so on, the point of this is for you to know when you should give your tablet a rest to let it cool down before it starts it cause damage.
Below is an link to the free version, you set the alarm temp in the settings , the full version is only approx $2.40

EDIT: I think i will email GSam and ask for them to include an cpu temp alarm, just done it

yah it will get pretty warm/hot to the touch.
I always keep mine in normal power saving mode, seems to help with heat and still run very well.
Sounds like a good idea, though i am not much of a tablet gamer, I prefer my notebook.

dont worry at all mate , after all there are 8 cores inside that beast your holding and its a electronic device what else could come out of it when your pushing it except heat the heat is normal all you have to keep in mind is not to play with your tablet while its on charge , cuz heat can kill your battery and lower it life spin , so keep it as cool as you can while its charging mate
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 Sony Xperia XZ Premium 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!
Mine has not yet heated at all! I have used Zarchiver to zip and unzip, several large games (modern combat 5, order and chaos 2 etc). Even in direct sunlight, the phone only became luke warm!
same story...this phone remains cold. in every condition.
for me it it the coolest phone i have ever had
I live in a tropical country, so the ambient temp is high most of the time. Despite that, my phone only gets really warm, but not too hot. Very impressed with the thermal management on this phone.
I just got back from Mexico. Jumped in the pool and didn't realize I left my phone sitting in the sun. According to GSam Battery Monitor, the temperature of my battery was at 50 degree Celsius and it was only luke warm to the touch. Very impressed. I was scared for my battery tho lol
i play Clash of Clans on my XZP and see the temps getting as high as 106 degrees. It's pretty warm in the back. Not sure how anyone is really able to say theirs is "cool" all the time.
PC is not cool when playing games. Why would be XPERIA XZ Premium cool when playing games?

Because its cpu's tdp is under 5 watts with the integrated gpu while a pc's cpu could easily go over 100 and have additional gpu and other heat inducing components around?
Don't get me wrong, many phones get hot during intensive gaming and that's not a huge minus considering they don't have cooling. Sony's done good job with it and it's on par with other flagships with sd 835 considering it's a pretty efficient chipset. It's just that the comparison you made was out of place.
Mine does get warm sometimes, but that's it. Just warm.
My old G3 used to get really hot near the Power/Volume buttons when gaming or running VR apps.
It's the kind of hot where you notice it, but it doesn't really bother you. Unlike my G3 where I had to move my fingers away from that area.
More importantly, it hasn't stopped an app or lowered the brightness due to heat yet.
Omg 50.7 dc
My phone can get hot doing VR stuff, but otherwise it seems near impossible to get it hot unless it's a very hot day and I'm out in the sun.
Then it's possible to get the camera app to warn about heat, although this has never actually progressed on to the point where the camera shuts down. Not like my Z3 where 10 minutes of photo taking and that was your lot.
The phone is amazing, I manage to record 4k videos more then 30 min and phone didnt need to turn off cus of heat, like on Z5P.

Mine only gets warm when viewing 4K Youtube HDR video
Never had this phone overheat. Even when video calling over 4G.
pretty cool always, can get warm but only warm
in love with it, snapdragon 835 does the trick to prevent overheating.
although when viewing 4k content or in 4k mod it does get hot, but hey which device wouldnt showing 4k? im impressed
i live in Jakarta,Indonesia and my XZP only gets hot when the signal is weak.other than that the device is around 30 celcius to 37 celcius.
Well to add to this conversation , Got this phone and regarding heating it heats for sure in some situations, but not as much as Z3 dual in same situations (my previous phone) and I am not worry about heating as Z3 dual heats a lot when playing pokemon go on sunny days during summer and never had heat warring except playing same game in background while recorded HD video of car crash in front of me, that is only when I got heat warning on Z3. On XZ premium same situation I could feel some higher temperature in hand, but not even close to Z3 , and another worst situation is game pokemon go and mass evolving in game (who knows what is it) it brings Z3 to very high temp, while XZ premium gets up to with temp enough to be able to feel it. Zip large files with password 128 bit encryption or unzipping does not produce any heat on Xperia XZ premium, overall it is very cool phone.
My phone does heat when playing games like Shadowgun Legend and Modern Combat 5 but I didn't notice any throttling.
Mine was hot while i was filming 4k in a 34 degrees outside in the sun.
i simply solved it by dipping the phone in the pool voor 10seconds and it was fine again. made nice videos
