How To Fix Overheating On XIAOMI MIX FOLD 3 Hot Body?

Overheating issues are not exclusive to conventional smartphones, even the innovative Xiaomi Mix Fold 3, with its foldable features, can experience high temperatures. When using it for extended gaming sessions or engaging in activities that demand substantial processing power, some users have reported that their Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 becomes overly hot.

Here, we provide insights on how to manage the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 to keep it cool and prevent it from overheating.

 

Why Does Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Body Become Hot?

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is equipped with a large 8.03-inch foldable LTPO OLED+ display and is powered by the high-end Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

As with any high-performance CPU, heat is generated when applications are actively running. When multiple apps operate simultaneously, the processor is pushed harder, which can sometimes lead to overheating.

Connected applications that continuously use the internet can also cause the phone’s temperature to rise. This is further more if the screen brightness is set to a high level.

Many users may not realize the number of applications running in the background, as only the primary app is visible on the screen. Even apps not actively used can stay in the background, consuming processor and RAM resources, thus contributing to the heat more.

Other factors contributing to a hotter Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 include environmental temperature, using non-standard power adapters, application bugs, and poor signal reception.
