Does the Nexus 6P get too hot?
All Snapdragon 810 processors are not coded equally, and the Nexus 6P might be the coolest one yet.
A lot of pixels have been wasted — and I do mean wasted — on the thermal conditioning and overall performance of the Snapdragon 810 processor. It's been such a hot button (see what I did there?) issue OnePlus went out of their way to ensure everyone they had a special "cool" version of the processor, only to have it come out later that so did everyone else. That's not to say there haven't been phones out there to run poorly while packing a Snapdragon 810, but as we've seen with several other phones that has more to do with manufacturer competence than anything else.
With the Nexus 6P packing a Snapdragon 810 under Huawei's slick exterior, there's a lot of folks out there with questions about performance and thermal properties. Does the Nexus 6P handle heat poorly? You be the judge.
Earlier this year we stuck the HTC One M9, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, the LG G4, and the Motorola Droid Turbo under a thermal camera and took some pictures while making each phone jump through hoops. During that test we learned that these phones only really get super hot during benchmaking periods, but the metal body of the HTC One M9 actually did wonders for dispersing heat and making the phone comfortable to hold under load. It seemed only fair to subject the Nexus 6P to a similar set of tests.
