Why Does Your New iQOO Phone Feel Warm and What Can You Do About It?

Hey Questers, 

Just unboxed your brand-new iQOO phone and noticed it's getting a bit warm? Don't worry — it's completely normal for new devices to heat up slightly during their initial setup. Your phone is working hard behind the scenes to optimize settings, transfer data, and install essential apps.

Q: Why does my newly purchased iQOO phone feel hot after turning it on?

A: It's normal for a new phone to heat up initially. When you turn it on for the first time, the system is busy performing tasks like setting up functions, transferring data, installing apps, and running system optimizations. This makes components like the screen, processor, and memory chip work continuously, generating heat. This process typically lasts for a few hours and should settle down automatically — no need to worry!


Q: How can I reduce the heat during this initial period?

A: Here are a few tips to help manage the heat:

  1. Clean up background apps: Open the multitasking interface (either via the menu button or by swiping up and pausing), and close apps running in the background that you don't need.
  2. Maintain a suitable environment: Keep your phone in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using it in hot environments, placing it under direct sunlight, or covering it with objects that trap heat.
  3. Avoid using the phone while charging: This helps reduce heat buildup from multiple processes running simultaneously.
