14 DAY TRIAL // Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 is one of the most controversial chipsets that the US-based company has launched on the market.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been many reports claiming the Snapdragon 810 overheats and renders smartphones almost unusable.
All handset makers that included Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor inside their smartphones experienced some overheating issues at some point.
HTC One M9 and Sony Xperia Z3+ are both powered by this chipset, and many owners report overheating issues.
There are hundreds of videos and screenshots proving that devices equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset can become unstable when the CPU overheats.
Today, another video showing the Snapdragon 810 chipset inside the Xperia Z5 Compact overheats has been published online.
The video comes directly from China and proves, once again, that any devices equipped with Qualcomm's Snadragon 810 processor should be avoided if possible.
Sony's solution does not seem to work, and the CPU still overheats
Even though Sony did some work of its own in order to avoid the Snapdragon 810 CPU overheating, like adding dual heat pipes and applying paste directly on the chip, it looks like the issue is still present.
The video shows how the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact's display can't register touch inputs when the temperature rises. Also, the smartphone becomes laggy and sluggish when the Snapdragon 810 chipset overheats.
Unfortunately, it doesn't even take too long for the Snapdragon 810 CPU inside the Xperia Z5 Compact to overheat, which means owners will struggle with an unusable device more often than not.
Given that the entire range of Xperia Z5 smartphones is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chipset, all three devices must be affected by the overheating issues.
That's quite unfortunate for Sony's high-end lineup, especially that the Japanese company has been working hard to fix the Snapdragon 810's issues.
