    Watercooling is way better, and is already been tested and it works. I don't know if it was sharp or toshiba who did the experiment a while ago.

        shdax, 26 Jun 2015because when the fan goes on in your pocket you will feel weird !well - for such cases perhaps they could develop a cooling case for the cell phone with minimal intrusive cooling fins.

                the unreasonable side of me hopes this thing performs extraordinarily well with excellent thermal performance and battery efficiency. And then they don't sell it to Samsung.

                            Poor Qualcomm. From being mobile SOC dominator to laughing stock. I guess the overheating jokes will last until the Snapdragon 900 at least. They did it to themselves though.
