S5 battery temp 40-41 degrees Celsius?

Is this normal? My phone does not get slow, nor does my batter start to drain. It also does not show any over heating warnings. I can feel it get hot, but not too hot to handle.

It's normal for a phone to get warm when active (e.g., playing a game, taking lots of photos, installing a bunch of apps). It can also get warm if your cell signal is poor, since the phone has to work harder at maintaining the signal. 40C is not unusual.

My phone, when on idle, is circa 29C-35C
