The thermals are not properly taken care here which is resulting Snapdragon 855 to overheat and throttle severely until it cools down. SD855 is a flagship SoC, capable of providing flagship performance. Heat is the byproduct of performance. More performance more heat.
SD855 needs dedicated copper heat-pipe inside the phone to absorb the heat. G8S does not have any. So the mid-frame metal chassis of the phone is burdened to take all the heat and hence the phone heats up considerably. When it crosses the thermal threshold the SoC starts to throttle proving a choppy user experience.
In contrary the LG G8X uses the same SD855 but comes with dedicated heat pipe and aluminium frame. Thats why even on extended use, my G8X never crosses the thermal threshold.

My G8S has a strange issue.
With intensive use (mobile data, long call...) it starts to overheat.
When its hot, you cannot make calls - caller is open, but there is no dialing for 2minutes. After 2 minutes, the call drops.
When its hot, the number is not reachable. It fails to switch to 3G calls. You cannot receive SMS messages. VoLTE is not available for this model in my country.
The phone is fully updated.
Its out of warranty, unfortunately.
Any ideas?

I got this phone less than 6 months ago. In all this time I had to send it 3 times for repair in warranty. First time they changed the entire screen. The second time they fixed the fingerprint sensor. The 3rd time I sent the phone for warranty the shop PC GARAGE Romania said that the humidity sensor inside the phone, visible when you open the SIM tray, is showing water damage. The phone is supposed to have an IP68 ratting. I did not immersed this phone in water. All I did was to take a photo while it was slowly raining. The problems with the signal and battery discharge appeared after 4 days of the moment I took one photo in the rain. Maybe the phone has IP68 ratting indeed, but the first 2 times when they repaired the phone they did not bring it back to the IP68 ratting. Now I am left with a not working phone by PCGARAGE Romania

Hello guys,
Please tell me what about time of charging the device after android 10 update, do they fix the fast charge issue? Because it was a problem that the charging take a lot of time it was about 2h30.

Ankit Gupta, 09 Oct 2020Where are you from ? Please share the experienceSlightly nicer interface overall, battery life seems to be the same but performance in 3dmark benchmark is lower, maybe they need to work on optimizations for future updates... Also, small changes in the default camera app but it works as good as before...
