Xperia Z5 Premium Teardown: Dual Heat Pipe Cooling, Thermal Paste

So this is fairly interesting. By now we've all heard that the SD810 is the literal Mount Vesuvius of SoCs and almost every manufacturer has had to either deal with the heat or come up with hanky solutions (like throttling the chip) to make sure your experience isn't soured. 

 

Sony however? Showing their expertise in hardware design shoved a couple of heat pipes and thermal paste. Awesome. Overkill cooling solution but one that allows this phone to even record a reported 38 minutes of 4K video without throttling or otherwise crashing.

Well, Sony claims that it has fixed the issues, but other manufacturers have claimed this as well. Not all the journalists present on site, at IFA, are agreeing with Sony, but until a consensus is reached let’s take a look at what Sony did to ameliorate the overheating resulted from the 4K display – Snapdragon 810 combo.

 

Take a look, and join us after for more details.Considering the pic above is legit, Sony not only that went with a dual cooling heat-pipe system (see the upper part of the smartphone, probably where the CPU is located), but also applied one layer of thermal paste. You know, just like that paste you apply from time to time on Desktop CPUs.

This is freaking awesome that they could fit it in the phone. I wonder what their solution is for the regular Z5 and Z5 compact?

If it's not broken, take it apart and fix it.

That is impressive, i'm eager to see the result once independent reviewers get there hands on these.
