Z5 comact overheating - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm surprised that this issue does not bother anyone too much, on Internet are very few contributions. I have Z5 compact for 5 days and from the beginning it started to heat up. From the first turn the phone start heating. I didnt do exacting task, common settings. When I play game it starts heating up quite noticeably and uncomfortable. I've tried, according to various tests on the net, shoot 4K video. The result is that after 2 minutes phone shut down due to overheating of the phone. This is not normal, that there are videos on net, where 4K shooting lasts about half an hour. Is this normal? Do you have someone experience with that? How did you solve that? Does have complaint sense? Only adds that this is the second phone of the same type, the first showed the same problem of overheating, I took it the next day after buying back and storeowner my phone readily exchanged for a new one. However, the same course. I do not think I was unlucky on two defective pieces. Please, give me advice.

This was taken just as I read your thread here..
Mine acts the same way as you.it doesn't really ever get to a "normal" temperature. I cant bare to answer phones calls on it, it's uncomfortable in my pocket, and holding it to use almost burns me and leaves my habd sweaty. I don't shoot videos or play games, mine heats up I'm guessing from the screen alone or just data. I don't really know.
I've had mine for just over a week and the issues are kind of piling up to where it's going to be on eBay soon.
