Charging makes phone really hot...

[AllenRulz]

Is it normal for the phone to be really hot when turbo charging? Using the charger that came with the phone. It's mostly the sides. I also have the style shell on that came with it.

No, that's not normal - but it depends on what you mean by "really hot". Hot enough to notice or hot enough to raise blisters on your hand if you touch it? The first is normal, the second isn't.

Lmao yeah the first. No blistering hot but just didn't know if this phone charged super cool or warm/hot. Thanks dude.

Install gsam battery monitor to get an actual number if you're interested, but the early part of fast charging when the battery charges quickly there is a higher temperature.

Gotcha. I just wanted to be safe than sorry. I'm absolutely loving this phone. Today is my off day so I heavily used it but going into tonight, I would have reached 3 days before I had to charge the phone.

My s7 burns up quite a bit too while charging specially when I'm using it while it's plugged in.

It is normal I had 3 other phones that have turbo/fast charge if it phone is below 50 it'll charge fast and heat up hot but it shouldn't be like hot where u can't touch it. After it reaches 70 battery it should cool down as the charge rate slows down

Awesome. Thank you guys. Yeah it cooled Down after a certain percentage.

So does it mean that its better to charge phone while battery % is around 50-52% to avoid phone getting hot?
I usually charge when phone battery is 30% which happens after 2 days of usage.

Yes, it is getting hot (42 to 45 Celsius) while charging, but I'm not really sure if it's actually 'over'heating.
