My 920 gets super hot on the back and front kind of towards the top. Is this a common thing?
Sorry, my English is not perfect might have used the wrong word to describe.absorb what heat? only place this would matter is in the sun, and yes, it is conceivable that a matte finish would absorb more heat than gloss. with that said, black will be the worst, white will be the best, the matte vs gloss difference will be a distance second place contributor.
My phone gets warm, but not hot. About as hot as my iphone 4 without a case buffering it. With a case, the heat on the iphone is much less noticeable.
the heat is a factor of the circuitry, but also the battery discharging. probably a good plan anyway, but turning off things like the sensitive touch and whatever else saves battery, will also save heat.
Mine gets warm enough that I don't enjoy making a call on it.
ah, my understanding is that the material is the same in all colors, the finish is slightly different is all. Could speculate about the surface area of a matte finish offering greater heat dissipation... but I think that would be insignificant. The sun will heat up a matte color more than a glossy one, and a dark color more than a light one. so matte black is kinda the worst case.Sorry, my English is not perfect might have used the wrong word to describe.
I was just wondering if Black Matte would have less issues with heat, than other glossy ones. Because of different material being used. Not that i know anything about materials and stuff.
I am going to get mine next week and i still have time to pick color, that's why i asked.
