      SD820 is going to require an active fan like laptops of old.

        The Snapdragon 810 is probably the biggest fail of the mobile industry ever.

                AnonD-428779, 04 Sep 2015Why all the fanboy bitching?..I'm sorry but who in their ri... moreHas everyone forgot that this is the 2nd revision S810 like the one used in the Oneplus 2? The phone that everyone is taking about and to the best of my knowledge WITHOUT an hearing issues. Yes, the Exynos is currently the benchmark king and it does wipe the floor with practically everything out there - even 6 months after release. But to suggest the Snapdragon is anything but the 2nd most powerful chip available today is simply ridiculous. Exynos is Samsung's own exclusive as far as phones are concerned, so they've gone for the next best thing. It will still be a beast.

                    Can anyone tell me exactly where this heat pipe is supposed to be in the above image, because I just don't see one? Not a heat pipe that I recognise anyway. Is this a case of the emperors new clothes?

                      Adi T., 04 Sep 2015Why 4k resolution on a screen under 15"??? Anything... moreOf course you can see the difference between FHD and UHD, even on a screen this size. To say otherwise is ridiculous. The question should be is the difference big enough to warrant all the power needed to drive the screen.

                        I wish Sony would change the design of their phones. Looks boring.

                          So this overheating issue's is self made by korean company so they could sell more exynos lol.

                          Exynos known as way much worse when overheating remember s4 & s5 (dunno about s6) battery temp could go on like 60-70 degree celcius yes this is the battery temp probably phone cpu is like melting point.

                            I currently have the Xperia Z2, does the Z5 still overheat when recording 4K videos, like the Z2?

Each manufacturer has different body design and hence the same cooling solution won't fit for all phones. Qualcomm isnt mad to make heat pipes for each and every phone. You have no idea what you're talking about.
