S21 overheating

[Sam0708]

Hi guys. Has anyone else experienced their Samsung S21 getting really hot? And I don't mean warm I mean hot. Even when there are no apps running?

Even S20 is giving flames 🔥, Exynos Chip I guess.

Solution 1

Turn off the Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth functions when not in use.
In addition, reduce the screen brightness of your device.

Solution 2

Optimize the phone to minimize the heat caused by processor intensive apps that drain the battery.


Solution 3

Unused apps in the background may heat up the device.
To resolve the issue, try ‘Background usage limits’.


Note:

Please ensure your device has the latest app updates by checking regularly.Screen images and menu items may vary depending on your model and software version.'Power saving’ limits the usage of network, data syncing, location info in the background.

'Power saving' do?

What you said makes perfect sense but as a general users we shouldn't have to do all that manually. Samsung has to find a way to optimise its software with that available hardware.

Totally agree with you. Using a iPhone as well I must give it to Apple that I have never encoutered overheating once with the same or even higher usage demand as my S21 Galaxy.

Once when my iPhone was in the sun for too long it overheated but I understand that fully, I also overheated so hot it was in the car but with Samsung it is a daily occurrence that you as the user need to manage and prevent, not expected or appreciated.

I thought the coming software updates will improve that it seems like they require so much processing that the over heating gets worse
