Heat - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Heat is so minimal when using the phone but have tested video extensively or gaming. Heat is nearly non existent in other tasks. I think it is actually a bit too low when charging. Seems they have the charging throttled to keep the battery temp under 100°F which limits charging speed slower than it cloud be.

My exynos variant have a high temp at idle and load. Soc idle min 42, normal uses 50-58celsius, max soc temp is 68c.
Antutu scores after loop.
1.run 540k
2.run 520k
3. run 460k

My Exynos is cold in idle, cold in web browsing and warm while playing ragnarok mobile

It heat like a hot fry pan. While using phone normally. if i get call. I can't even touch is to my cheek. Sometimes it feel it will burn my skin.
With my Note 9 this heating issue was even more worst. Due to overheat. I wasn't able to use camera more than 10-15 minutes. Camera app keep stopping because of overheat.
Worst phone brand. Even after having so much innovation. Samsung Note series always disappoint me.

The only time I notice any heat build up at all is when it's on a wireless charger. Charging with the 25 watt included charger there's no heat at all.

When using Camera and try all options , different zooms , Device starts heating and gets to an abnormal temperature , this is affects the 5G signal , as it disconnects the 5G recipient automatically and turns to LTE !!

In my testing, the "Exynos" Note20U is not heating up like the previous Galaxies.

My SD version gets a bit warm just from normal tasks. And my battery life is atrocious :/ I really like this device but I may need to contact Samsung about a replacement and see if I got a defective one.

Exynos version at 120hz, a bit over room temperature screen off, warm when in use and hot when taking pictures. My note 10+ and oneplus 7t pro were never this warm. I'm also getting pretty bad battery life.

Note20 Ultra 5G 512GB Unlocked/Sprint
All around quite warm, charging, viewing, hotspotting.

UHD60 capture definitely gets the transistors in George Foremen mode if you catch my drift.

For mine, heat issue seems exacerbated by being on 5G signal. No heat when on 4G LTE / CDMA Only mode.

Strange. Having used notes since the first, i must say this is the coolest phone ive had. By cool i mean temp - avg cpu is low 30°cs, multiple runs of back to back antutu only got me to 37°c - with performance varience less than 3%.
It didnt heat up much when charging, editing 108mp files, or 4K/60 recording
Of course this is SD 865+ (N986N South Korea), not exynos like my older notes.
But so is yours. Like Jerry Rigs, may be urs has graphite cooling.. I wonder if some phones (like SK version) have the SD chip with copper cooling = which would be the perfect combo...

Note 20 Ultra Exynos990 heat Up so much. I don't understand what samsung is doing with exynos.

Snapdragon HK version here. No heat whatsoever. I am not playing games. The screen sometimes gets just warm when I use extensive tasks (camera, youtube, etc). CPU temperature always below 40C.

UK Exynos990 from official pre-order, so bad in heating and battery life. Warm normal use anything slightly CPU/GPU intensive make the phone as hot as a fry pan.

Note 20 ULTRA 5G 256GB "Exynos" - mine seems cool most of the time. Haven't been able to make it hot even with gaming or using camera.
Seems huge improvement compared with Note 8 in this area.

Wow are your temps still that low? How about when wireless charging? I have the South Korean version too and I hit about 40c when wireless charging, and a lot of times it just sits around 35c when doing normal tasks.

Phone heats up more than you would think since it's the 808 CPU. It's not super hot, but after like five minutes of hard use, it gets warm. Then it slows down as the CPU underclocks.
Remains cooler than the N5 in all scenarios and heat is dissipated more evenly through the device.
The lower internal and skin temperatures come at the expensive of decreased performance due to thermal throttling.
I notice mine gets a little hot under normal non game playing use, seen it get to 100F.
The top does get warm at times, but mostly extremely cool to the touch
Never had an issue with heat with a few months of use. Only time I've noticed it is when I'm running backup or restore in TWRP.
Compared to my S4 this is an ice cube. Maybe because I have the Ice Blue? The sim card holder in the S4 was starting to separate from the motherboard because of the heat!
It's gotten slightly warm a couple times sitting on the bed or a similar not well ventilated area but hard use and gaming doesn't make it boil. I've never been concerned about the temperature of this phone.
Occasionally gets hot in the pocket for no apparent reason
Phone does heat during multitasking 1 hour Skype call and heavy application of online betting and 1 more application but it does cool down automatically. Still love this phone
sorry
Gets heated while playing games, near Camera!!
My phone really gets hot after some ROM installation and few Boots up whithout resting. Around half top front and rear gets so hot that I can´t even make a call and I have to let it cool to keep using it as I´m afraid it would explode :S. Also performance has an impact when it gets hot obviously. LG, make some work with the cooling because this isn´t good.
My current phone heats up while using mobile data, quite hot actually, how does this phone do?
Mine gets hot when using Wi-Fi tethering and charging.

The website notebookcheck tests for thermals and had this to say about the 5x:
With idle temperatures of just over 25 °C, the Nexus 5X hardly heats up noticeably in idle mode. The handset is also unexpectedly cool under load despite the relatively strong SoC. The hottest spot measured reaches just 37.4 °C here - other premium smartphones often surpass 40 °C. The review sample can even shine with the lowest rates compared with its rivals.

Considering human skin temperature is around 38 degrees C, the 5x remains much cooler than most other devices. It still heats up, but it will be a few degrees cooler than other devices in all scenarios.
I've found the phone fine under every condition other than gaming.
The phone seems to suffer from not being able to dissipate heat very well with it being plastic. I've seen CPU temps get up to 47 degrees Celsius and seemed to throttle and affect gaming performance.

I think the reason is playing an elaborate game.I believe the native android by Google is no problem at all.
I read many reviews and Anandtech analysis of the problem, I was still shocked by how bad it is.
Just install two apps and scroll a bit in Spotify and the big cluster is throttled, holy hell this Snapdragon generation is a complete clusterf**k!
Snapdragon 801 is a lot better.

iam coming from a s801 phone (oneplus one).
it produced the same amount of heat during heavy usage.
i was not surprised after i had setup the 5x first time
s810 is way worse, s808 is actually ok.
Always stays cool exept when you are recording 4K or Slow-mo video.
and even when it turns off big clusters it still feels snappy to me .

On Marshmallow update, overheating was improved but still jump to high temperature fastly due to powerful SoC.
In brazil (+/- 30ºC / 86ºF ambient) the phone easily overheats when opens for a long time third party app camera (ex. snapchat) or heavy games (ex. gta sa)
on mexico in a city with normal temps of 30-35 on (sometimes winter) alost all year, or 45-50 in summer and i since have it since december it doesnt really over heat(jsut heat that much that you cant hold it)that much 4 to 6 times in all the time i have it
depending on the app used, I usually get 40-55 C from normal browsing and social media apps to extensive gaming like asphalt 8. I live in Philippines which usual temps are ranging from 28-35 degrees celsius. CPU Temp by mooncake is the app I use to monitor my temps.
45.3 °C max for me since MM in 3d gaming as reported by Battery Monitor Widget, 30°C in sleep mode avg
Unusually heating and battery drain
My phone unusually heats up without any reason and battery drains like almost 20 % in standby in 1 hr.This doesnt happen everytime though,I checked if any background apps were running.But its normal like FB ,Whatsapp,Album etc,.The back side on top of the phone gets heated
Rev 4 here no overheating or anything.Cooler than my Galaxy Note 4 and previous Z3
İn turkey
37-55C ıf ı play games be 60C and more :/ ı think too hot
Sent from my E6603 using XDA-Developers mobile app
A lot hotter than my Note 3 and OnePlus One, but it's bearable.
the temps are fine. the same with my 6p.
the hottest S810 device I used was the M9 then the Oneplus2.
the 6p and the z5 is on par when it comes to heat. so good job sony.
I'm planning on upgrading to a Xperia Z5 but this thread makes it come to my mind... does the XZ5 custom kernels have undervolt features? In my experience undervolting makes phones cooler. So is it possible with the z5?

Short answer : no and the z5 doesnt need it. Long answer: The Z5 has AVS or auto voltage scaling(similar to the 6p) thus, it makes it very hard to implement undervolting. Androplus kernel used to have undervolting, but it was completely broken and does nothing to the voltages. AVS scales according to load and frequency. Therefore, if you are using your phone with very light use, it should not scale the voltage up and heat up the phone.
Guys, thanks for those informations.
I am about to get new phone and (untill now) Z5 was my first choice.
I had Lumie 920 in the past and I did not like how hot it was getting.
I do not play games however I browese web a lot,use FB, Spotify, etc... - will I have trouble with temp?
I now own lumie 640 - it does not get hot and it has awesome battery life (even under W10m). As I need Android phone and Z5 has decent battery and camera I was thinking it might be a good swap... (plus waterproofing, etc). Not so sure anymore
Is this the problem for Z5 Compact as well, do you know?

My z5 heats up while charging, you can feel the top half of the phone starting to heat up. Today my z5 went crazy trying to watch a video on a site that works on my z3,m8. The whole phone froze and started burning it was weird, previous days I would notice it heat up doing daily things. You'll definitely notice heat if you haven't had issues before with a previous phone
Lumia 920 was getting really, really hot.
Especially during navigation in a car. Screen on, software (Here Drive) running, charging on and sometimes sun through the windshield.
Do you guys use Z5 in a car? Is it not turning off because it is too hot? That would be a bummer....

No problem in my car up to now.
We'll see this summer...
Ok, got Z5, id does get quite hot (yes, during navigation as well) but I can live with that.
Plus I have it in see through cover so it does not feel as hot to touch. But to be honest I am not impressed. I was expecting it to be cooler.
I use google map yesterday and charging in same time, my Z5 was so hot that it won't charge properly and continu to drop battery with a quick charger.
I almost never get above 50 but it does feel pretty warm to the touch after a long period of use, even just browsing with poor signal. I think it's actually hotter after 6.0.1

Gets a bit warm, not over whelming, about the same as my Nexus 5X
While it gets a touch warm - even when it was downloading and installing all 150 apps, 15GB of Google Play Music, with Folder sync doing data transfers it still stayed much colder than my Z5C ever did with a couple of minutes use. That would probably burn toast!
I thought it got pretty warm, but idk. The material might have just transferred heat to my hand easier because my hand was sweating and you could see it on the back of the phone.
The phone gets REALLY hot when its constantly downloading something.
Anyone got any battery temps? If I run games for an extended period I end up around 43C. Cooler than my Moto X Pure which would hit like 47C.
Idle and light use around 30-33C. The phone has never felt hot to me in any circumstances so far.
"Feels kinda warm" isn't a very good measurement.
If anybody can provide heavy load or gaming temps I'd appreciate it. Also any additional info such as case or no case.
Usually if u charge and use a device at the same time that's when things get hot pixel 2 got warm enough to feel threw a tough spigen case wile browsing and charging nothin crazy
Hmm not great. I came from a note 7 which was very warm to a note 8 which was ever so cool. Considering the pixel but the heat issue among other things is a right turn off.

it will not get as hot as your note 7. note 7s had a few of them explode which just goes to show that sometimes the phone would get hella hot. not a lot of them did so it wasnt a huge problem when referring to how many blew up vs how many were sold but i presume higher than avg temps on all of them
It gets hot sometimes even when you aren't doing anything.
No heat issues so far. The best example for heat is to use Hangouts video calls. Generally with every previous phone I've owned I got a massive battery drain and heat when using FHD video calls. With the Pixel 2 the difference is huge.
We have to consider that this phone is easily ramping the big cores to 2.45Ghz and still maintains a good temp. I'm not suffering temp throttle like I was used after 5 minutes or more of continuous usage/browsing/etc.
Sent from my Pixel 2
It only gets warm when charging. I did not experience any kind of extreme heat coming from the phone and im a heavy user.
Only gets really hot when using AR, not so during games
I havent found anything to overheat the pixel 2 and im a heavy user. BUT that would be a lie. ****ty snapchat can make it warm up sometimes and well, Ark Survival really heats it up and eats right through my battery.
Pixel 2 Hotter after CreamPie update
My Pixel 2 is warmer than usual since the update. Prior to the update, it heated up a couple times mostly due to crappy game apps, which I removed.
Now it gets hot under various circumstances like running Android Auto, which is currently unstable until they release an update to fix whatever they did to break Android Auto.
It also gets warm in my pocket. I'll notice it's warmer, pull it out and cant see any reason that would cause it to warm up so much. This Pie update is crap.
Dont upgrade if you havnt already. At least wait for them to fix the bugs in Pie.
Could you test CPU temp and throttling using this app? It would be really useful.
I usually set it for just 5 minutes and it's enough. Also, tick the boxes in settings to show cpu temp and share a screenshot. Thank you!

Phone overheating issues

HAS ANYONE NOTICED OVERHEATING OF PHONE MOSTLY WHILE CHARGING, GAMING (should expect some heat not this much). I play PUBG on smooth basic plus extreme with no AA and gfx lower settings. Still phone heats up. FAN seems to be a marketing gimmick too. Circulation of air is v poor.
My question is can this be fixed via twrp custom rom tweaks. I'm willing to experiment.
Excuse me. Are you one of those geniuses who charges his phone while gaming?

I think nubia have fake temp status.
Or is that a bug i don't know
When i turn the fan on at max speed. Temp increased. Things like that happen. Or when i come back to auto from performance mode. Tem goes up.
Which is weird. Makes me believe that all this temp and gpu turbo and fan is a gimmick.
Air temp is 26 deg Celsius.

How do you measure the temperature? Was it a temperature of the CPU or the battery?
If your sentiment is not a user error or a fluke, then your unit is defective. Here's what one of the most prolific Youtube reviewers said about the fan - "it was keeping my phone 8 degrees cooler than my Samsung." I assume 8C, not Fahrenheit, because the reviewer is from UK.

YouTube ers are paid. I check the temp stats from gaming app . Inbuilt.
Plus the phone feels hot in hand. Not 8 degrees cooler. And Hunan hand can easily feel 8 degrees change in temp over 5-10 minutes

Instead of admitting that you were sold a defective unit and exchanging it for a working one, you think there's a conspiracy that involves the Nubia corporation and "paid youtubers."
But hey, I'm thinking this guy is not a psychopath. Maybe it's just a user erorr.
Maybe he thinks that having a fan in the phone should make the phone feel cool to touch during gaming.
Maybe he simply doesn't understand that the fan may be lowering the temperature from 55C to 47C, and that 47C will still feel hot to the hand.
Hey guy,
Can you actually provide real world numbers with screenshots?
No one has experienced anything like this before, so either your phone is defective or you have a nervous breakdown.
Yes, the phone overheats while charging but if you switch on the gaming mode to check heat also in certain Celsius comes down gradually and quickly in my case. So fans not a fake gimmick. Also when you are playing games heat is normal for heavy graphic 3d rendering titles like pubg, fortnight I play pubg with extreme HD and it heats but the fan keeps decreasing the heat. My suggestion is to charge where there is air free flow of air like a fan, AC, or cooler to keep ambient temp in control.

That is understandable, but then what is the fun of a fan gimmick when you need additional external air circulation with AC.
Even with clash of clans. Not much demanding game phone heats up. Plus additional charging while playing the temp increases continuously.
Circulation of heat and cooling inside the phone is poor. I'm starting to wonder if the battery has nay issues of heat while charging.

Low iq behavior? Projection much?
You are the one who's playing games while charging the phone, something that should not be done to a cellphone battery especially with 26C ambient air.
You realize that by charging and playing you are heating up the battery and the cpu at the same time and that's really going to cut battery's life real quick?

Apologies for the mess. Was relyed on Google voice without proof reading. I have edited now.
I'm not suggest to plug in a charger while gaming, it will make the phone hot, especially when you using the original fast charger. Anoher thing is you hae to know you can't get a high performance with the low temperature, if you get a very hot phone, the cpu will running in a low clock speed. The RM3 can get highest score on Antutu so I think the fan is doing something.

I agree the fan is going something. Had the circulation been a bit effective i think it could have been utilised in a more better way.
Anyways i was just charging the phone while gaming to test the heat limits. Not actually doing it.
Still i have noticed battery heat while standby charging

Pixel 6a is widely considered to be the worst of the bunch. The other three seem to be pretty comparable.
It really does depend what you do with the phone. My 7 Pro never gets more than warm. The highest battery temp I've seen is about 43C and that was when I first got it and it was going through the process of setting up all my apps, day to day it's much lower - in fact I've been using it for the last half hour or so while it's been charging and it's only at 39.5C. My iPhone 12 Pro Max and my OnePlus 9 both ran hotter on average.
That said, I live in Colorado, not some hot place like India, so our average ambient temp is about 69F/20.6C indoors and less than that outside right now. Obviously I'm going to have a cooler phone than someone whose ambient temperature is higher.

Which are worse, and which are the lesser of the evils?
Please elaborate. Thanks.

The idea is simple. Each of them is prone to overheating. Max normal temperature is 45 degrees Celsius. Anything over that means you might have a problem. Now it totally matters on your action. If you are gaming, the phone might reach that temp and then throttle itself down. Lesser of evils? There isn't. You want to avoid overheating? Don't game on the phone. Buy a cooler. Don't keep the brightness at max. Don't use your phone too much.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of buying "high end" phones as opposed to mid-range ones?
This depends on how you define overheat.
A phone that's "hot" to the touch is an indication that the heat is being brought from the SOC to the heat spreader to the surface of the phone in order for it to be expelled as it should. Essentially the phone is a big heatsink and the more effective the heatsink, the more heat is transferred to the surface of the phone then eventually away from the SOC. The real issue is how the software handles the internal heat of the SOC. If working properly, you would want minimal or no throttling at all. But by design, there will always be some throttling, even if the SOC heat dissipation is ideal. Environment temps are taken into account, all the while to keep the SOC from reaching a heat which has an adverse effect on performance. The manufacturers just want the highest specs on paper, but balanced with a subjective opinion on what surface temps will get reproach and what throttled performance will be noticeable. I would take a "hot" phone that does minimal throttling over a "cool" phone that throttles the SOC.

Not to mention that most people don't have thermal cameras and are just going by how it feels to them. Humans are not good at detecting differences in temperature. What feels hot to one may feel warm to another and vice versa.
