Or, if you can afford it, go for the latest flagship, the Xperia XZ, which has better battery life than the X Performance.

        AnonD-481725, 01 Feb 2017Nope, except the Xperia z5 series. The Z5 series and Z3+ both have serious heating problems. The Z5 used an extra heat pipe (2) for cooling, while the Z3+ only had one copper heat pipe.
        The copper heat pipe design started in the Z2 series and has been used in laptops and PC's for years sucessfully.
        The extra heat pipe in the Z5 greatly helped this heating problem, but under heavy use, it would still get very warm and if pushed harder, then warning pop ups would occur. And eventually, it would shut down.
        There are hundreds of reports online about this, as it seems that you are a disbeliever. But the facts are everywhere. Try some Sony forums. Or I can give you some links.

Why it was even released by Qualcomm is questionable. Microsoft Lumia and LG Flex 2 and Z5 using the 810 cpu all have heating issues. There is no way around it, unfortunately. You need to get used to it and accept it or buy another phone.

                          Don't buy it WHATSOEVER, I bought it for 10 days and the seller had to give me back my money
                          Battery life: no more than 90 minutes of actual usage (Facebook, whatsapp and Web browsing) I had to charge it twice a day even though I don't use anything that's battery consuming, it went from 100 to 0 while I was in a Skype video call for 42 minutes
                          Performance: on a scale of 1-10, 3
                          Display: I would go for an OLED display, I had a lenovo P1m and its 720*12** display seemed to be better.
                          Camera: Great....for the first 3 minutes at least then it will overheat the device and turn it off

The Z5 used dual heat pipes which helped the high temperatures a little, but its still ran hot. Its that plain and simple. In fact, under medium usage it would reach 70C easily. Never checked its temperature under very heavy usage as pop up warnings would tell me to shut it down regularly. But, holding a phone like toaster in my hands was ridiculous to me. Thats only one of the reasons why I sold my Z5. Unlike you, I don't pretend to own any other Xperia.

                                    As for other brands, well they simply chose a safer/better option with the SD808 chip. Everbody saw what happened with the Z3+ using the SD810 chip.

                                    You have never owned a Z5, so your comments are irrelevant and unknowledgeable. But, I see you in every Sony phone forum giving expert advice on products that you don't own. Plus, you are using 3 different user names here now.

                                    FYI, Samsung has only used a single heat pipe in its S7 models and it was the thinnest design about.

                                      Note that Samsung learned to use these heat pipes later with their smartphones and it is doing pretty good.
