    While Apple effortlessly leapfrogs android phones in benchmarks, the only way for android manufacturers to get ahead is by using heat pipes and duct tape?

It needs octa cores for starters because of heat issues and battery drain, even processors go for lower semiconductor fabrications to address those problems... go play with your iphone while were on VR

        Why can't people who post hear learn to read? This is about the S series, not the Note series. People claiming their S7's are running hot are full of it, I play games for 1-2 hours consecutively on mine without it so much as getting warm. Half of you complaining about the phone probably don't even own one. Go troll elsewhere.

          yest,this is it,these oint we are voming now...

          well, handphone need heatpipe!!!

          its just nosense at all,but guity is buyers wich want all of time faster and faster and more pixel they sceens and of cozvery year more cpu's inside it.

          i alwyas say its just b-shit

          FHD screen is enough and max top is 4 core cpu,but i think dual core is ok, if operation program made well and NOT relase every year new beat version.

          best phone now and i think keep it long time is s7 note 5, onplus 3 and few more.

          anything up that should crash and recycle.

                                  SAMSUNG already know the issues with NOTE7 heat problems, if that can not be rectified then people may still like to wait before making final purchase decision of how this new handset is actually performing more then speed and performance it is now a question about reliability. A better device that can blow ur mind but not the house.

                                    LG was primitive and too dumb because they didn't use heat pipes in G5. They were working on useless gimmicks like modularity and wide angle camera instead of useful things like heat pipes.

                                    If G6 will have non-removable battery, it will be the worst decision from LG.
