Nexus 5 2015 refresh

Maybe the LG Nexus will use the 808 (LG obviously used it in G4 anyway) and Huawei might use the 810 as the higher end model ?

It throttles down to 801 levels so yes it it performs fine but you may as well just buy a phone with an 801 in it...

If the 810 does then so will the 808 and every other chip. Exynos 7420 will throttle too but will likely take longer to do so due it's 14nm process compared to 20nm for the 810/808.

OnePlus have takes measures to reduce the heat. Under clock, change thresholds etc.

Come back with something worth replying to.

Plenty reviews out there have said 810 is running fine in the OP2. What's with all the 810 hate.

It's obvious the Z3+ was a disaster, but that was because Sony did naff all to help the situation.
 
I have read a couple user review, on the OnePlus forum, where the phone has got very hot...

Concerns:
Heat - As of now there have been two instances when the devices has warmed up (a lot!). The first time was when I did installations of all apps from the market. Second time was when I was streaming a HD movie on Plex app over wifi, which is a concern as the movie gets encoded on the server and streamed directly to device.

Now I have just charged it twice and I let battery drain for the first time , yet the phone heats up a lot. Its particually very hot when It is charging or downloading apps. It is still warm when using it normally.

Never actually read a review of the 810 that doesn't say it runs hot...
 
There's nothing special about the SD 810 chip in the OP2.

It is a faulty chip that runs too hot and then throttles itself.

There's nothing wrong with it throttling but to say it's a good chip is just plain wrong. Qualcomm ****ed up.

Straight from todays GSMArena review

No, OnePlus 2 does not suffer from overheating issues and performance stuttering. It heats up quite a lot around its top, but apparently down-clocking the CPU did the trick and you don't have to worry it will overheat and throttle down the performance. It still becomes hot in everyday use, even with mundane tasks such as updating Play Store apps, so have that in mind if you are bothered by such things. Still, unless you're holding the phone in landscape you usually don't notice it even if that happens.

I could quote more reviews.

The 805 in my Nexus 6 can get hot at times, just like all SoC's. If it doesn't cause throttling to the point of poor performance in day to day use...who cares?

I'll reserve final judgment till some more in depth reviews but for now I maintain while the SD810 isn't an ideal SoC, its ok and serviceable.

Oxygen OS on the OP2 also alternates between the 4 A57 cores so it only uses two of them at a time, switching to the other two if it gets too hot. So I guess in some sort of sense it runs in "808" mode. Honestly can't remember which review I read this from though. OP did a good job in keeping the 810 temps controlled, even if it means reducing its performance, but overall performance is still better than most other 810/801 phones.

The fact the new Nexus device uses a 810 however... I was hoping they would use something a little better than H1 2015 SoCs but I guess there's nothing avaliable yet. Could be just me but SoC development seems to have slowed down :p. Doesn't Huawei produce their own SoCs? Would've been a nice idea to show it off in the new Nexus, the Kirin 940 or 950 looks promising.

The SD820 is shaping up to be a bit of a beast. i guess the SD810 taught them not to rest on their laurels as they were so far ahead of the pack with the previous 800 range.

This makes very little sense as the cores are so tightly packed. the whole thing/area will heat up. At the end of the day it's working ok and performance has been reported as very good.

I really do not want a big phone. I want the same Nexus 5, but with a better camera and better battery. That's all!

The LG one will be N5 2013 size and the lower end model. The Huawei will be bigger with all the bells and whistles, and it will be hot.

Won't happen, sorry. What you have described is the 'perfect' phone, and we all should have learnt by now is that phone manufacturers are colluding and conspiring to ensure the perfect phone will never be built to keep us yearning for more.

:p
