Sony Xperia smartphones have in the past been reported to be affected by heating issues and it seems the problem is back, and haunting the company. A new video has surfaced showing the recently unveiled Sony Xperia X being compared with the Samsung Galaxy S7 when recording 1080p video.
Damir Franc, a YouTube user, posted (via Xperia Blog) the video showing how quickly the Xperia X suffers from overheating issue when recording video at 1080p which leads to crashing of the camera app on the phone. The video shows both the Xperia X and Galaxy S7 recording 1080p videos at 60fps for several minutes. At 4 minutes, the Xperia X cuts down the features available to access and slows down as well. The same video shows the Xperia X camera app crashing at 9 minutes, citing the overheating issue with a pop-up message to the user. Notably, the video has now been pulled by the user.
Notably, a similar problem was reported for the Sony Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z4 smartphones last year. Sony had later acknowledged issue and promised a fix via software update. We can expect the company to do the same with the new Xperia X.
