While it was supposed to equip the majority of high-end smartphones of 2015, the Snapdragon 810 processor was finally a real fiasco. Only the HTC One M9, LG G Flex 2 and ZTE Nubia Z9 have integrated it, at their peril, since overheating problems have been revealed because of the famous processor.
Overheating problems? What are the problems of overheating? According to Qualcomm’s Vice President, these criticisms of the Snapdragon 810 are false, he does not hesitate to call them “foolish”.

So overheating or not overheating the Snapdragon 810? According to Qualcomm’s VP, the processor for high-end smartphones is obviously flawed.
In an interview with Forbesmagazine, Tim McDonough explains thatno final version of a smartphone released this year with a Snapdragon 810 has had overheating problems.
He adds that these concerns are only rumours and that they have been falsely peddled, based on the performance of test or demonstration products in trade shows, products that are not definitive versions according to him. Probably annoyed, he adds that “these rumors are rubbish.”
The problem was that the HTC One M9 had a lot of heating problems due to the Snapdragon 810. HTC even had to deploy an update in an emergency, update that clamps the processor so that it doesn’t heat up too much. Yesterday, Xiaomi also explained that he had encountered this kind of problem on his Xiaomi Mi Note Pro but claims to have managed to tame the beast.
So despite the qualcomm VP’s speech, the facts are there. Moreover, Samsung certainly has not made the choice to integrate its homemade Exynos processors instead of the Snapdragon 810 in its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge for nothing. The same goes for the LG G4, which incorporates a Snapdragon 808 processor.
