I have had this phone for a few days now, and this has been my biggest complaint. Playing more demanding games like COD mobile or genshin impact causes the system to get very warm to the touch. The system doesn't get to the point of heavy thermal throttling or overheating, but it does get uncomfortable to hold for extended periods. First flagship-specced device in a couple of years, so maybe it is just my ignorance on the topic, but it is a bit concerning for the lifespan of the components.
I've had my OnePlus 8 for about 5 months. Was a T-Mobile version that I converted to global and has never ever had an issue with heat, even while gaming. I don't use a case, device runs cool even under heavy load. To be fair, I use radioactive kernel instead of stock.
With regular usage the phone remains cool. Playing Genshin at 60fps and moderate settings seems to cook every device, so it's not unique to our phone. At 30fps it's much, much better. I'll have to test other games like Pascal's Wagner or GRID.

Can get hot if using Quick Charge and playing a game at the same time, with the hottest point being the back near the cloud logo. It's noticeably hot, but doesn't seem any more so than other phones.
Getting quite hot for me during general use. On occasion barely doing that much as well. I think the CPU could do with some custom kernel love to try some undervolting and governor tweaking to help.
I think it might have to do with the fingerprint sensor. Mine gets hot with screen time.
My Robin used to get hot but not much anymore with the newer updates.
Mine gets really hot when playing Pokémon go, but I think it's because of being a bad optimized app.
My Robin gets hot no matter what ROM I am using. I have tried stock, AOSPA, Lineage and Omni. I emailed Nextbit customer support about this issue when I first got my Robin (when they still did email support). I went through the battery tests they suggested (FCQ (*#*#6721#*#* on the stock ROM) and Ampere) and provided them with screenshots. They stated that the temps I was showing in the screenshots of the battery tests I performed were 'normal' for the device.
I have found that the Robin is really sensitive to the temperature of the environment that it is in. On hot days, under mild use, the device gets very hot (like battery temps around 110-116 F).
At this point, it is what it is. I think that the excessive heat is a combination of a processor that is known to run a bit hot, combined with the materials that the phone is made of.
I had it to film a concert (sound is ruined on any videos, pictures ok..ish) But the thing, it was incredible hot, i had to stop using it during the concert and it felt like it burned a hole in my pocket for a bit after i turned it off, and it also gets reallly hot around the fingerprint sensor, and the display itself was like a pocket warmer.
Might been cause i used a Thick and robost phone case, cause i am afraid i break it anytime i put in my pocket....
Send it back to amazon and got my money back now. (Bought it just when it dropped to 100$, now its gone from amazon.de.. lol)
I use mine as a coffee maker

Heats a lot!
Yup heats up like it's on stove at times. Every phone heats though . . In opx's case, it feels warmer because of the glass back design.
Not Frequent, but heats up! - 7
I find this typical heating while charging for more time or with a different charger or using the device while charging.
Try to watch a YouTube video with a cardboard...after 15min you can warm the milk
I went to the Sultan CM13 rom with 3.4.0 kernel and cpu underclocked, keeps most things cool for me
Cool for me!
I have rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader, I recently flashed blu spark's kernel and my phone runs a million times better and a definite difference with temps, I run really cool, all with keeping Oxygen OS.
Stock kernel makes the phone hot when playng games. Custom kernel with UV profile can reduce heat.

im running oxygen os 3.1.4 with twrp recovery can u give me a kernel to keep my device cool
Yeah, sorry for taking months, but the kernel I used was blu_spark on Oxygen 5.1.1.
rooted phone on 7.1.2 stays pretty cool.
I noticed similar conditions.
My device is sometimes only when listening to music and in deep sleep too warm.
When playing asphalt 8 it gets really hot. Does not seem to have the best cooling
method as it is with the oneplus one.
Extremely hot while watching youtube.
Sadly; Changing CPU governor to a less agresive ones or lowering clock in Stock OS, makes my OPX very unstable. So I always reverting to default values.
Haven't tried Custom ROM yet.

Got the phone today, and it feels very cold to the touch. Most of the heat It gained was from my own hands... though it is winter. I then put a silicon transparent case, and after setting everything up I did some google cardboard vr for around 30 minutes and felt a light warmth through the case... barely noticeable.
Mine is getting pretty warm after rooting, making a nandroid backup, and flashing xposed. Not quite uncomfortable, but very noticeable.
My phone has only heated up a couple of times, and that was when I really used it, games and such.. Otherwise it's really "dead" to the touch.
If you want to heat it up, use some benchmarks, or if you want to be more productive, use mapillary outside and photomap your area around.
Yes.. it's getting heated very often even I use for 5mins.. I got phone today only(23-12-2016). Please suggest a solution.

For me its exact the same thing...
Of course its gonna heat up if your cpu and gpu are working at max speed all the time.. its normal
First day when I flashed custom rom, installed all apps, rooted, twrp and all that it was hot to the touch because the reason above but now when I use it in a normal way its actually cold to the touch most of the times and I love that
I rooted mine and installed a rom really got hot then I changed to a different rom and it is very cool now.
OnePlus 3T is a really cool device. I suggest users to buy it. It has very cool features like Fingerprint access, Camera etc.
But if anyone gets Official TWRP for Android 7.0 for OnePlus 3T, Please tell me*
Never felt any kind of heat through the case (Orzly 2-part case).
Never been an issue.
i have noticed it's evenly warm when it shouldn't be. try enabling "Auto close high power usage apps" battery options.
the description makes me laugh. engrish.
"When it runs, the system auto clean up background power-hungry apps , prevent phone from getting hot."
It doesn't warm up much, if at all, for me, but I am using a rom that underclocks the CPU which could be the primary reason for this.
On 3.5.4 I would have occasional heating after a phone call. Battery stats would show that the phone was using the CPU for extended periods after the call had ended. Usually a deep clean of the ram would solve it. Sometimes it didn't solve and then a reboot would solve the problem. Phone was completely stock.
It was comparatively very cool throughout with the CPU temps being in the mid 20s or low 30s even during charging at 3.4A with the dash charger!

Heating issue
Got my phone few days ago its heating when i am playing clash of clans but otherwise no issues in normal mode.
Nvm
The phone stays cool to the touch even under heavy gaming. (Max 35C on cpu)
Heating hasn't been an issue so far. Had an app causing constant 70% CPU usage and the device was just slightly warm
my phone getting hot sometimes idk why
Any manufacter could make a super cool phone by just setting an agressive thermal profile. Oneplus 3/3T doesnt throttle at all, not with gaming. The phone gets warm, but you have to consider that it's using his full potencial. I prefer a hot phone (not the case) than a cool phone with half of the power the soc offers.

Heats up very quickly through normal use and ambient weather temperature, struggles to lose the temperature then begins to lag.
Same here, even with Marshmallow and Nougat during normal use. Actually with Oreo seems no problem
it has been the same when ambient temperature is high the phone simply cant handle the heat and u can have marshmalow or oreo no mather what it wont help...phone starts to lag to a point when u have to turn it off for few mins and the use it again...it has beeen like this since xperia z3+/4 and z5 with SD810 under the hood...Sony is very bad at reducing heat in there devices...i compared other devices with same chipset and even if they get warm or hot they still work like they should...why Sony offers us a highend phone with lowend capabilities...i remember the perfomance of my xperia z2...4k recording up to 1 hour no problem ,i could play games more then hour and the phone got warm sometimes even hot to touch but it worked with no LAGS....and last one most anoying is the screen input touch ,just go ahead and compare every phone u can with xperia and ull notice the lag in the screen input...so bad from Sony also XZ is probably my last xperia and i had Z,Z2,Z5 they were good but the competition is far better.and last one Xperia phones should sell for winter gadgets,couse u can warm up ur hands if u need to LOL...cheers guys
My phone stopped recording 4K video after 2 minutes with error messages about heat. Had to close camera app for 5 mintues to be able to record another 1 minute. Completely hopeless phone.
I tried to play heavy games like Asphalt 8, PUBGM and Mobile Legends, It reaches like 50-60 degree celsius to the point where I can't even hold the phone. When recording only in 720p / 1080p, it warns me that the phone is overheating and disables some of the functionality and the room temperature is at 15-18 degree celcius

I wasted my money buyiny this crap. I can't ever use the camera due to overheat & it shuts down. Thanks to a G-camera 5.0 version that works withouy camera 2 api enabled. So anyone can use that without adb or flash. That's 5.0 version G-camera saved me. Else I would have never able to use Camera itself in my phone. But apps & games? Omg. I have become a optimization expert using this phone. Through choosing apps among many for the same category of Functionality. Bcz everything lags due to a small 3GB ram. Only marshmallow did it lagged. But since Android 7 lag & heat has become a part of this device. So now others ask me apps for a cetrgory which is most optimized & I suggest them. ? ?

its not lag because 3gb ram, its thermal throttling. known issue with Sony camera app is all clocks max out.

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
