Smartphones - Can they Handle the Heat of 5G?lllSmartphones Overheating on 5G|smartviser.com



SmartViser team have done several smartphones testing  in  lab ranging from entry-level to flagship, with various chipsets from Qualcomm to Exynos and MediaTek. Several smartphones overheated after only 20 minutes of operation while in 5G, despite all testing performed exactly in the same conditions. These conditions included aspects of the environment like an office with Air Con at 16 degrees Celsius as well as ensuring the same network conditions with good 5G coverage.

SmartViser team testing results for the smartphones identified 3 main groups:

GROUP 1

Smartphone did not overheat and continued with the data transfer for the duration of the testing. 

GROUP 2

The smartphone reached 48 degrees after 20 minutes. As the temperature continued to increase, the smartphone displayed an error message. The image below shows how the temperature was rising in correlation with the data throughput usage.
Group 3

This group was the most interesting one for results. The smartphones switched off applications working in the background and moved from 5G to 4G, helping to slow the data transfer and allowing the smartphone to cool. Again, this group of smartphones overheated after about 20 minutes.
