“HTC usually doesn’t mind hearing people talk about how hot its devices are but this might not be quite the kind of attention it was looking for. Phone Probe points us to Dutch website Tweakers.net, which recently ran the HTC One M9 through the GFXBench benchmark test and found that the device’s surface temperature hit a frightening 55.4 degrees Celsius, or nearly 132 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Surely that’s a feature. Out camping, run GFXBench benchmark, and fry your eggs to perfection. Or is this signs of the Snapdragon 810 over heating issues coming to light? In reality, people don’t run benchmarks so hopefully this won’t be a problem and/or HTC will have released a firmware update prior to launch to manage the heat aspect. Also, the test was also done with the power lead plugged in which adds to the heat build up. But adding some common sense to this situation, the HTC One M9 has the largest heat dissipation possible due to its aluminium build. So, issue or non issue? More likely non issue but something to be aware of.
