Does Samsung S21 series gets hot/overheated for real ?

[maxsumit]

I am getting a worried reading lots of comments about the S21 (standard) getting really hot. Some of the comments even report of getting so hot that it stops working / fry an egg over it.

Not what you want when you pay so much for a new flagship phone.

My pre-order is still not dispatched (under processing) and now I'm having double thoughts, if I should cancel it and go for some other model / brand .

Any suggestions?

Exynos 2100 as all European models.

I'm absolutely loving my s21 Ultra!! No issues whatsoever. No heating, long lasting battery... Tbh I was also worried but because I had ordered a custom colour I couldn't cancel. I'm so glad I got to experience the phone for myself instead of letting the comments turn me off. I'd say get the phone and if you aren't happy, return it.

I’ve had mine just over a week (128gb). It gets quite warm in normal use, but it just got so hot on a whats app call I had to end the call (not the first time😕). Can this be fixed in a software update or will the phone need to be recalled?

Had my 16GB Ultra since 28th Jan and absolutely no issues with overheating or battery. I get 2 full days use before I have to recharge. Not a heavy gamer and don't do hours of 8K video, just a normal user and it's an awesome phone which will only get better with software updates.

Actually, it is the Snapdragon model that runs hottest. Not by much though as this video shows.

weird, I have 2 512GB S21 Ultras, neither one comes even close to hot, let alone shutting down. Can get a little warm sometimes but not uncomfortable to hold.

hey, had my phone since the 28th of Jan, keeps on overheating if I am video calling and using the multi-window feature for more than 10 minutes.

my s21 feels hot when watching videos and on video call. Fingers crossed a software update will be released soon to fix this!!

I've returned mine due of overheating..

This is a bit scary. Hope Samsung has did not repeat its history of what happened with the Note 7.

BDW which model were you using .. Classic S21 , S21 + or the ultra model. ?  and was it a US model (Snapdragon) or European model (Exynos) ?
