[Darthdoge]

Am i the only one facing this flagship heating issue,while using Instagram for a long time,even listening to music while using Instagram heats it up or specially while editing pictures in gallery the phone heats up alot weather it is enhancing the picture or editing it,any other task for a prolonged time it makes my phone a bit heated even my brother has s24 ultra it faces the same issue,is this the reason we paying so much for flagship to face heating issue?

I know man it pisses me off is this why we paying soo much for flagship phones to face heating issues? my dad has one plus and it doesn't heat up at all

[kuma007]

Yeah I use s23 and I face same issue as well ,most times I have to reduce performance by using light mode or battery saver or else heats up crazy . Sad reality 😔. Yeah oneplus has improved a lot nowadays,i regret buying s23

The worst part is we are forced to think that s24 or 25 may not heat up but they still do no matter how much they refine their phone,the animation still can't match one plus as well as the performance too . We pay soo much for the experience still face heating,especially if you use camera for long the heating is prevalent.

I mostly take videos of my pets like parrot and my fish just few seconds and my phone heats up crazy imagine taking 15 min video ....
The weird part is samsung phones are initially very good but due to software update they keep degrading one by one and force users to buy new s series then after that degrade the new one again launch new one . The cycle repeats . Yes oneplus gone ahead by leaps and bounds if they don't do something about this samsung might has well go to their old days were software was bad

The only reason i didn't buy one plus was bec of its camera rest everything is so much better than Samsung....The updates do downgrade it i feel whats the point of 7 years of updates in my phone when all it will do is slow it down year after year,Tho the one ui 7 beta i am using right now is pretty smooth compared to the 6,that actually feels like an upgrade for now.

You're definitely not alone in facing this heating issue on flagship Samsung devices. Many S21 FE, S24 Ultra, and even S23 Ultra users have reported excessive heat, especially during Instagram usage, photo editing, and prolonged tasks. 📱🔥

Here’s why this might be happening and what you can do:

Why Your Flagship Heats Up?

1️⃣ High CPU/GPU Usage – Instagram and gallery editing are resource-intensive, especially with AI-based processing.
2️⃣ Background Processes – Samsung’s One UI has aggressive background tasks that contribute to heat.
3️⃣ High Refresh Rate – If Adaptive Refresh Rate (120Hz) is enabled, it can generate more heat.
4️⃣ Software Optimization Issues – Some One UI 6.1 users have reported poor thermal management.
5️⃣ Exynos vs. Snapdragon – If your model has Exynos, it may heat up more than the Snapdragon version.

How to Reduce Heating?

✅ Limit Background Apps – Go to Settings > Battery & Device Care > Background Usage Limits and put unused apps to sleep.
✅ Lower Refresh Rate – Switch to 60Hz for less heat from Settings > Display > Motion Smoothness.
✅ Use Battery Saver Mode – Set performance mode to Optimized instead of High Performance.
✅ Disable Instagram's High-Quality Uploads – In Instagram Settings > Data Usage, disable "Upload at highest quality".
✅ Keep Software Updated – Samsung might release a fix in upcoming updates.
✅ Use a Cooling Case – Some cases trap heat; try using a better-ventilated case or remove it while using heavy apps.

Samsung should optimize heat management better for premium devices! Hopefully, a future One UI update will improve this. 🤞🔥

The problem is i have already done all this i use my phone on battery saver all day, i have one ui 7 beta too,i have spigen cases which are considered the best,And yes i knew exynoz heats up more but if you are forced to use your device on 60hz whats the point? this phone is supposed to be flagship it should handle such tasks easily other phones do it with no problem. Also without any new settings in them.
