An update for the HTC One M9 is intended to prevent the phone at full load up to 55 degrees is hot. This value had tester measured, which the HTC Corporation had already made a pre-production model available. The firmware will still appear this week.
A pre-production model of the HTC One M9 was much warmer than usual, according Tweakers.net in a benchmark test. 55 degrees Celsius, they have measured on the surface of the new HTC flagship.

The Dutch website looks at the results as a confirmation that Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon processor 810 overheating at full load, as there are already rumors and speculation had suggested in advance. To reported overheating HTC Manager Jeff Gordon took already at Twitter position and denied the relevance of the results. “The software of the HTC One M9 is not final yet, how many pre-production benchmarks also performs her,” he wrote. The HTC Corporation announced now also a firmware update for the already delivered to testers in pre-production units, to get some relief. Appear to it later this week. HTC will hold an event in the US, where it might also once again takes a stand on the events. It is expected that HTC at the event but only the prices and the release date for overseas known.
The fact that smartphones in various applications and especially benchmarks to bring them to their limits, heat, is not an uncommon phenomenon. In general, the devices are not so hot. According Tweakers.net the tests were carried out with the GFXBench. On other devices such as the iPhone 6 Plus or LG G3 equipped with another processor, the values were only 37.8 to 42.2 degrees Celsius. A function that the Smartphone as usual shuts off at high temperatures, there was not yet in the not quite finished software on the HTC One M9. This is HTC but complement for sure yet.
The alleged overheating slope of the high-end SoC Snapdragon 810 is according to Bloomberg Samsung have provided the reason to to adopt the Galaxy S6 Qualcomm processors and instead his own Octa-core Exynos processor to build in 7420, which is also based on the 64-bit architecture of ARM and is composed of two quad-core units. Qualcomm Snapdragon satisfied, however, pointed to 810 customers. With testimonials it relined the statement, a fundamental problem with the processor does not exist.
PhoneArena cites in this report from Taiwan, according to which the planned for this week launch of the One M9 in HTC’s home market because of a software bugs had to be postponed. You may have problems but also to do with the matter. Later that month, the smartphone will appear in other countries, including the United States. The launch in Germany was announced for April with a suggested retail price of 749 euros.
It remains to update the extent to which the heat problem is due to the pre-production firmware. The final software could be the chip but for thermal optimization may also restrict the extent that he no longer goes up to its performance limits and heated so. Clarity can bring only tests the devices with final software when they become available
