Xperia 5ii overheating and poor Geekbench score.

Hi all,

I bought a brand new Xperia 5ii at the end of December and although I love the phone I'm having some heating issues. It occasionally gets very hot, as in I notice it very hot in my hand and can feel the heat through the official Sony Bumper case I use. This seems to fairly random but I'm not doing anything overly extensive. I don't play any games and have the usual Google and streaming apps. Has anyone else had similar issues?

 

Sometimes it even gets hot just using Google Chrome browsing websites. Other times it seems totally fine. I wish I could re-create the conditions it gets hot but I can't.

 

I've now installed a CPU monitor so I can monitor the results more precisely. It seems to regularly go over 45° just browsing, even while typing this.

 

Furthermore I thought I would do the Geekbench score to see if it is operating normally. My results were way lower than some videos online/websites online. General the results seem to be around 900 single core and around 3000 multi core. My results are 674 single and 1906 which is way down and worse than the previous Xperia 5.

 

I'm starting to think I have a faulty phone or it's not all its hyped up to be, I know rouge apps not behaving normally can cause issues but can't see what that could be. I normally keep my phone's for 3-4 years so having these issues after less than 2 months is very worrying.

 

Thought I would see what others users experiences are before I return it or contacts Sony.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies!
