How hot is too hot for a phone powered Snapdragon 652 soc?

[Android Central Question]

My coolpad/Leeco cool 2 heats upto 38°C in normal multitasking and while gaming it goes upto 46°C and in some rare cases it can go upto 52°C. Is that normal?

If you can't touch it, it's too hot..

55°C is the "turn it off or lose it" temperature, but I wouldn't push it to 46° very often or for more than a few seconds. 52°? I would have turned it off long before that. You're playing a game that, while it may run on that hardware, pushes it much too hard.

I play modern combat 5 whenever I play in air condition room it never goes above 43°C. That's surprisingly great temp improvement
