My xperia Z1 heats up very quickly.
Even on watching videos for 3minutes it gets warm is there any way It does not heat up
No rooting
No stupid comments please
Ok see excessive heating can be due to faulty battery or software.
Try updating once again your z1, notice the changes after 24 hours
If it still heats, go to service center and samsh the phone on their faces and ask them to replace your device 🙂
After updating to .257, I noticed thay my phone heats up quickly and the yellow tint is still present..
