this episode is brought to you by domain.com through the 4k video recording and gaming we're going to test to see of this beloved flagship overheats taking the data we compiled from last year's best of android comparison and running the same tests on the Exynos powered galaxy s7 and s7 edge we can tell whether the current smartphones operate cooler than their predecessors now it'll be clear we've tested the Exynos powered galaxy s7 and s7 edge with the same test to distinguish if one of the two handsets overheats more than the other we also combine the data compiled and our testing a few months ago to give you a comparison against other devices now one of the biggest tests has got to be 4k video recording it may be a feature present on most mid-range and premium smartphones but it also is a surefire way to put your smartphone's internals under enough pressure to heat up sometimes to critical temperatures with a 4k video recording limit of 10 minutes does the galaxy s7 heat up noticeably or does the liquid cooling and power efficiencies prevent it from doing so taking the average of the three temperatures recorded the galaxy s7 edge heats up less than the galaxy s7 does with the temperature increase of 4.5 oh and 4.90 respectively despite this however both rise in temperatures slightly more than the samsung galaxy note 5 and pale in comparison to the Nexus 6p which scores a 1.73 rise now that's 4k recording but what about full HD video it's less taxing on internals but full HD recording can happen for much longer up to 30 minutes so this should be interesting this is where the galaxy s7 proves to be quite a disappointment running quite hot after its stint as a cameraman with an average temperature rise of 5.07 the smartphone falls behind the Nexus 6p the LG v10 and the Xperia z5 premium the Galaxy s7 edge fares considerably better but with the temperature rise of 3.27 it still only ranks in one place higher now of course the granddaddy test of all is mobile gaming specifically a 30-minute session of zone to HD which is fairly resource intensive how does each smartphone fare note that we haven't run this test previously so the results of the Nexus 6p and the note 5 and BlackBerry Prive we're all captured as part of our testing as you can see here the Galaxy s7 and s7 edge both outperformed the Nexus 6p the note 5 and the BlackBerry Prive as the efficiency gains provided by new architecture come into effect this could also potentially be due to Samsung's liquid cooling feature with a percentage gain of approximately 28% and 22% respectively over the note 5 it's likely to be a combination of both factors so what's the verdict does the s7 and s7 edge overheat well the data clearly shows that both smartphones do indeed run hot during camera based tasks with the area containing the camera proven to be the hottest part of each smartphone but during the performance intensive tasks Samsung's newest flagships remain mostly cool taking averages of each smartphone across various tests we can see that the s7 and s7 edge ranked lower than you might have expected with the Nexus 6p the LG v10 and the galaxy note 5 proven to be cooler on average what's most interesting to me though is that the Galaxy s7 edge is consistently cooler than the regular variant the extra size of Samsung's larger flagship offers heat a wider area from which to dissipate and as such the smartphone does run noticeably cooler now what I want to know is does the liquid cooling actually work it's entirely likely that the liquid cooling does help some internal components cool but the redesigned camera module overheats more than previous devices resulting in a false negative result have any of you guys or gals had problems with your s7 or s7 edge overheating let me know in the comments below so do you guys remember from like 15 years ago when people were making money hand over fist in the dot-com bubble remember we didn't call it a dotnet bubble or dot-org bubble we didn't call them dot biz billionaires we called them dot-com billionaires because that's the power of a dot-com now why is that because no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name Kommandant domain name extensions inject credibility into your online presence save 15% on domain names and web hosting when you use our coupon code Android at domain.com check out when you think domain names think domain.com
