If the phone is getting too hot, TAKE IT OUT OF THE THICK BULKY CASE!!!!

I have this phone and play Asphalt 8, shoot 4K video, and never have a problem with over-heating or even getting too hot. But I only have a tempered glass screen for the phone. No case.

This is a great phone. My previous phone was the Z1c. The only complaint I have is I really liked the magnetic charging dock on the Z1c. I really miss that.

            The overheating issue is related to snapdragon 810, every single phone has this processor is complaining of overheating.

                I bought this smartphone a few weeks ago. It's a jewel as always from Sony!

                My honest opinions are:
                1. Best battery time charging/consuming ratio for an android device.
                2. Best screen quality for the 4.6 inch size.
                3. Best cameras for such device.
                4. Best sound quality speakers.
                5. Best signal reception for 4G/3G/2G, wi-fi, nfc, bluetooth, gps.
                6. Sweet design
                7. It works under sweet and salty water (maybe my luck).

                Few problems still are:
                1. Software update is weird and android 6 is lower in performance (sound and camera - bass clipping and digital noise) as android 5.1.1 on this device in my experience (it's flawless).
                2. It's getting too hot mostly when I use api camera settings (often under android 6). It's not a problem with me because I use a rubber cover and glass screen protector (this truly reduce warmth). The problem is when it shuts down by itself and some people having no idea what means having a Qualcomm processor device.
                3. Sony must do something with lens. Too many problems with corners and focusing. For me it's ok and I can cheat this lens hardware problem, but for many 'first time using a camera' people will surely be a problem.

                  I wanted to like this phone - good camera, right size - but unfortunately I think it is the worst phone I have ever owned. Sony's version of Android is horrible; receive constant updates on the operating system - latest one deleted my email account; and it gets very hot indeed.

                    Anyone experiencing the camera is in use by other application error, close all apps running on background will fix it.

                            I like the specs and size of this phone but if it gets so hot like others say, I'm afraid 45 degree heat will loosen the glue holding the glass to the frame.

                                    This phone is awesome, great camera, great display, great performance, but this phone is ridiculously hot.

                                    I play some game for few minutes and my phone goes up to 45* celcius.

                                    This is first time I upset for buying Sony phone.

                                      The phone is great but when you use an app for too long it heats up and the phone is sometimes almost burning. Never had this with another phone. The problem is known but still sony should do something about it.
