SD 810

I just don't understand that if the 810 was known for overheating why would Google allow Huawei to put it in their flagship phone, unless they have fixed the issue for the 6P. Time will tell I guess when people have it.

Sony Z5 uses the 810 chip and no overheating issues with a 4k screen. They found a better way to keep it cool by adding another cooling tube.

Cool, I'm still on the fence but more than likely I'll buy the 128GB one, I shouldn't need more than 64GB but you never know.

yeah I'd go with more than what you'll need so long as price isn't an issue. I know I'll never use 64MB and probably won't even use 32GB. I like to travel light and I store all my stuff on Dropbox.

I checked the op2 forums and a user reported that he hasnt had any heat issues even when downloading and installing his apps. Sounds like Qualcomm worked that out in the 2.1 chip i guess. My G3 would get rather hot when being used just to check twitter sometimes. I dont think LG uses the best design to get rid of heat. I am sure the 6p will be fine. Google and Huawei were probably more than aware of it and hopefully had that in mind when creating the phone. I mean come on google wont let that slip by a nexus phone. Not their own premium flagship phone.

My OnePlus Two has been great with zero heat issues that I have noticed.

I'm excited for the phone and hopeful that this phone won't have issues. But concerning version 2.1 of the 810, it's what every phone that has an 810 in it is:

HTC: One M9 already using Snapdragon 810 v2.1 http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m9-already-using-snapdragon-810-v21

http://m.pocketnow.com/2015/07/15/snapdragon-810-v2-1-2

So basically bringing up v2.1 is irrelevant in any of these discussions.

Except I've seen more than one person the last couple days get their z5 and complain about it overheating on various forums including a short one on this one. This now has me at least a little worried. I was interested in that phone as well. But not cancelling my pre order. I'm a try it myself kind of person.

My phone has been getting warm sometimes hot since the S3. I have yet to have a phone that didn't. My note 4 is the worst yet with the 805 chip. And it throttles after it gets warm. Sometimes to a crawl. I pulled the trigger on the 6p the day it was up for pre-order because it's everything I want in a phone. Give or take a few features. I'm expecting it to be a great phone. It's also my first Nexus. Needless to say, I'm freakin stoked.

My Note 4 gets hot also and I'm on my second battery.

My Galaxy Nexus frequently gets hot but since it's slow anyway throttling isn't a problem.

I have a Nexus 5, and it gets hot when playing games and charging, but the heat it puts out pales in comparison to the Nexus 4. That one got really toasty and made me afraid that the glass on the back was going to break due to the heat. Even with all that, the phone kept working fine. There was a hardware mod for Nexus 4 to put a copper shim and heat sink compound to close the gap between the processor and the back plate. I never bothered with it, because I could never tell the phone was affected by throttling. Time will tell if Snapdragon 810 in the Nexus 6P has an overheating related throttling issue, but if it does, and if the solution is heat dissipation, I am sure some smart modder will look at what Sony has done already, and implement something like it in the Nexus 6P (assuming opening it is easy).

A lot of complaining over at the one plus 2 forum about over heating.

I and several other OP2 owners have commented repeatedly saying there's no heating issue with the 810. It won't be an issue on the 6P either.

Also, a device getting warm does not equal overheating. Devices are designed to dissapate heat. Someone pointed out that the Nexus 4 got warmer than the N5 and that is becuase the glass back is a better conductor of heat than the plastic on the N5. The N6 will probably get warm to the touch during certain activities because metal is a better conductor of heat. I can make my Nexus 5 get quite warm to the touch if I put it on a wireless charger and stream netflix over 3G to it. That isn't a bad thing, because the phone doesn't suffer any penalties from it.

Throttling is a different issue entirely, and again is not necessarily a bad thing. if it throttles to the point where performance noticeably slows down then yes, it can be a problem. But in the majority, not all but the majority, of cases some throttling will not have a significant impact on 99% of the use of said device.
