I came from using a Lumia 1520 also and I LOVED that phone. It was indestructible and it lasted forever. And I always bragged about how powerful and long lasting it was compared to the iPhone. I went in to MS Store last week because my 1520 had a crack and some hairline fractures by the buttons on the plastic and so I wanted to use my $50 replacement before it expired. They said they had no more 1520s and they were no longer being sold. So they said I could basically use the price I paid for the original 1520 and put it toward a new phone. So I was like damnnnnn jackpot I get a Lumia 950XL for less than a $100 out of pocket. Well I get home, and this phone is EXTREMELY WARM. And I noticed the battery was going down like mad. I did the hard reset and went to .29 before they pulled it. The warmth was a little better, but it was still getting hot for like no reason. Like on simple webpages, it would heat up and drain super fast. If I did a Netflix movie, it wasn't warm at all. I'd go into Messaging and it would be hot and drain again. Like, #1, why would they put the processor by where your hands always are holding it, and #2, why is the processor being allowed to get that warm, especially for menial tasks? I just have never seen a phone drain so fast, no matter what I do. I don't think I should have to turn off every single function for this phone to work. What's the point of them adding features if we have to turn them all off because MS doesn't know how to manage an octa-core power hungry beast like this Snapdragon. and they knew it too. That's why they put a liquid cooler inside it. Maybe I'm losing my mind, but I miss my cool running 1520 with quad core. This 8-core crap isn't worth it if MS doesn't know how to power manage and do proper QA.
Is anyone else having problems with the phone constantly being very warm? Maybe mine is just a fluke and I need to take it back?
