- Aggressive performance tuning
- High-density battery in tight space
2.How to Identify Real Thermal Issue
- Phone too hot during normal browsing
- Camera closes with temperature warning
- FPS drop during gaming within 10–15 min
- Charging stops due to overheating
⚠️ Contact Samsung if phone overheats while idle or switched off.
