My S20 plus is heating when doing small tasks

[navaneeth7067]

My S20 ultra is heating like a hot plate.. My phone comes with exynos 990. battery life is so poor.. I don't expect this from Samsung.. I should have gone for OnePlus which comes with Snapdragon.. why Samsung you push us to this stupid exynos chipset 😭 Phone is good but this processor is trash. Anyone please tell any method to stop this heating and improve battery life... Otherwise I'm returning my phone.. I just bought it yesterday. It's very pathetic to see such a reputed company pushing this kind of faulty processor in a flagship phone 😔. I feel cheated. We should do something about it.. They are giving same phone with good qaulity Snapdragon processor in US, Canada , South Korea and China.. and we are getting this faulty processor at exact same price 😤

Ps: I have questions to fellow S20 plus users . Should I return it or not?

Sd is best one to go, you bought from flipkart? , then return it ASAP. Flipkart is reducing price again and again something is fishy, even in reliance digital its still at 65k

[navaneeth7067]

Yes from Flipkart.. but the problem is I bought this phone on exchanging my poco F1 . if I return my phone the discount is over now and I have to stay without a new phone 😭 I'm trapped

and you cant compare samsung and oneplus
oneplus is a poor camera quality poor build quality Chinese phone
samsung is reputed brand
ager s20 plus heat bhi hota ho fir bhi onplus ke sabhi phone se lakh guna acha h

Yes I choose S20+ over OnePlus is because it's amazing camera, ip68 water resistant, wireless charging and other super features... But Sorry to say the phone is heating like a ironbox, battery draning fast and gaming performance is worst when comparing to OnePlus.. I don't expect this kinda heating from a flagship device... OnePlus won't heat or drop bettery like this... I can't use 120hz because of this battery issue 😭 if I can't use it.. then why I payed money for it? They are cheating us with this exynos 990 chipset... Snapdragon didn't not have this issue...

If you can return then do it ASAP

Facing it now on S20+, when i do multi tasking for more than 15 mins, camera front wide angle yes.
I did factory reset after 2.5 and 3 update. Still same. I feel i made a mistake in buying it 😕. Even after recent update its still the same. Even i can feel warm after using a case. Im using it since October. Battery life is decent for me, getting 7hrs 15 mins on previous a11 first stable build, but after this weeks bug fix, im getting 45 mins extra SoT
