Thermal design is the same. The little piece of metal on the motherboard is the cooler and that's it. All the boards are manufactured like one in the same manner. Sony can be throttling earlier than others(in lower temps).
If you can tell I'd be glad. What phone are you using now? What is the temperature of your battery after playing?
If a phone overheats just by data transfers, it's unusable phone.
In the past sony had a bug. You couldn't charge the battery to 100% and the phone heated significantly. But it was a bug and I hope we're not discussing this issue. Something was using CPU resources and caused this problem. I hadn't this issue, but I know about it. It was in the era of Z2, Z3 ...

A little add.
Yes the car without ac was terrible in the summer and the phone was on the direct sun during the travel. After this I never did this mistake again.

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2019All of sony flagships heated when playing graphic intensive HD games for 15-20 minutes. Then, ... moreThank you for your post, I see the problem now. Sorry for my long post.
I made a little testing on my XZ2 compact. I see the heating tests were performed by recording in the highest resolution. So I made just that. I set 4K and started rolling. In 44m52s I ran out of memory. Sorry, but after 9 months of using this phone I had only so much memory. During that time the battery temperature rose from 28.2 celsius to 46.5 celsius. And that's the first time I felt my phone warm! To be honest When I selected 4k a warning message appeared that the device can overheat, but it seems not in a room (21.7 celsius). I have ruber protection case which complicates cooling significantly. It seems It was a problem of previous generations. Should be no problem now. My phone is 10nm tech and xperia 5 is 7nm tech, so it should be less power demanding and that means cooler. In my normal usage it's never warming so much. I really don't remember it warm even after watching youtube. ok I have a rubber case, but wouldn't the screen be warm after watching? I think overheating is a significantly lover problem than before.
About Z1 compact It was warm by using, but only occasionally hot. I also have a rubber protection case for it, but I never experienced overheating by watching youtube or by data transfers. And I was using this phone for watching youtube for hours. During that time I always discharged my battery. I played some games but again no issues, maybe I didn't play the right games. On this phone I had only one issue by recording 720p video in a heated room. After 20 minutes it stopped recording and it was hot. So yes I experienced overheating that time and yes that means it has a overheating problem. But that was the only time in 3 years.
Also to be honest once I traveled in a car with my phone on the passanger seat in the summer. I had a car without air conditioning and when I got to the location, grabbed my phone and it was hot as never before. The camera said It's to hot to use. Ok, I put it into my pocket to cool down for 5 minutes. Yes to cool down in my pocket. Then I grabbed it again and made the photos I needed.
Other phones have also overheating issues. I can compare my phone to Galaxy Note. It had the same chip Snapdragon 800 and it heated the same.
Look at the matherboards of the phones, they look the same. How can be one less hot than the other with the same chip? Isn't it the case, that everybody else just don't care about it? Is it a good thing to do?
Yes I'm biased, because I love my sony phones, but you are too. I think SONY is not a bad phone manufacturer and does a good job now. I think this phone is worth considering. If somebody would do some heating tests, I'll be also interested to see them. When somebody does something, failures will come. Sony tries hard and I think they deserve more.
Again sorry for long post, but how to make it short?

I love xperia phones but my last xperia xz changed my mind. Also this x5 doesn't look very good. A bit disappointed.

It's normal, that ... moreAll of sony flagships heated when playing graphic intensive HD games for 15-20 minutes. Then, it throttles and game freezes and lags so badly. Some flagships even throttles when downloading a big file without even playing a game. Then, everything lags. You can't even use the camera because it heated so badly.
Same CPU and GPU as other phones but sony's thermal system is so bad. In fact, it is the worst in the entire smartphone industry.

The who, 18 Oct 2019Why is Sony still making phones??????Becouse their CEO explained that they will never give up on phones as the phone is part of your body , more intimate than your girl friend or lover , with you 24/7 and althogh they are loosing on that segment but it is a sweet losses as they gain on phone cameras , and keep with technology

sony xperia excellent phone , I would rate it 9 out of 10 , but it is not compact , Sony should keep it 63-65 centimeter maximum width than can be really operated by one hand . Compact should be the size of compacts z3 compact , xz1 compact , x compact , xz2 compact , the sony forcing on us a compact which is not a compact what a bias from Sony , I bought my second xz2 compact used for 200 dollars , I will never buy a new sony ever again if they wont intreduce REAL COMPACT , 64 milimeter width flat like the xperia 5 at 8.2 milimeter and length is less importent
