Sony Xperia Z3 Plus and Z4 overheating issue:

We know that those two Xperia models use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC as the processors but with a so-called “revised version”. It should have done better with thermal regulation, but it’s not; it’s still running hot. Some even reported that Sony Xperia Z3 Plus became very hot while running games or Netflix videos in HD.

Not only just the consumers but also Sony did notice the heating issue. According to the manufacturer, the problem was detected in tests run by GSMinfo in Netherlands. For example, in tests using camera, the app crashed after a few minutes of video recording, and the the phone’s rear started to get much warmer.

In response to the complaints, Sony says that they will be releasing a software update in the near future to fix the issue, maybe sometime this summer. Anyhow, before that, the company also suggests smartphone users to power off their machines several times a day, especially once charging them. On the other hand, for those who feel inconvenient due to the Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z4 overheating problem, they totally can contact Sony service center anytime.

Hopefully, things will get better and Sony Xperia X4 and Z3+ will bring the users great experience again.
