For those who don't know, Snapdragon 855 is the very first processor that integrates 5G modemn that time at 2018, Mediatek Dimensity wasn't born and if i remember Mediatek first redemption from a bad reputation started when they release the mid range Helio P60. This Success of the Helio P series mark as the start of the competition between Snapdragon and Mediatek. Mediatek Dimensity 1000 is the first Mediatek's Dimensity SoC and a full flagship processor with 5G integration in November 2019. Today in 2025 Mediatek mostly covered all the lineups to compete with Snapdragon's dominance.

This chip causes my Sharp Aquos Zero 2 to heat up quite rapidly. The device even reaches temperatures so high that it registers at 80Β°C in the device info.

I own the same phone, but it has never overheated before, even when set to full brightness during gaming sessions. It's possible that you have a defective unit, or perhaps you live in a particularly hot area.

Reason of overheating is the SoC itself is 7 years old obviously the thermal paste needs replacement
