Quick question:
Is it normal for an S7 to run hotter (~8C) than an S5, given the same operating environment?

Crash

Yes, I would call this normal. The S5 uses ~600 watts, the S7 uses ~1200-1400watts.
Thats twice the heat output from a same size miner. The S7 is then going to be hotter, given the same input/ambient temperature

Hmm.. Should we be worried about this? I'm pretty sold on the S7 and i think it's the phone i'm going to get. I know this sounds funny, but since it's waterproof, can we just wet it to get the temperature down.

Not sure if trolling or if you actually believe the S7 is waterproof!
Samsung S7? hah Tongue
