Note 5 - CPU temperature

Hi all,

Loving the Note 5, but not loving so much how warm it seems to get in my hand, even under light/normal loading. I would be very interested to see some figures from other forum members. To make the test more accurate, I would suggest the following sequence.

MEASUREMENT 1

• Close all open apps


• Screen brightness 50%


• Connect to WiFi (bad cell coverage might raise temperature)


• Open App that allows you to see CPU thermal


• Let the temperature settle down to a stable marker


• Post temperature in celsius (apparently some of the apps have faulty Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion)

MEASUREMENT 2

• Close all open apps


• screen brightness full


• Connect to WiFi (bad cell coverage might raise temperature)


• Open App that allows you to see CPU thermal in the background
  [*} Use camera app to film in UHD for 1 minute


• Multitask switch to CPU temperature app


• Read the temperature it reads immediately


• Post temperature in celsius

MEASUREMENT 2

• Random measurement...


• Just any moment when you're doing light/normal stuff


• Open the app and read the value in celsius

For me, the results are as follows:

1. Measurement 1 never goes below 30 degrees.


2. Measurement 2 was 73 degrees.


3. Measurement 3 is typically High 30's to high 40's.
