I could cook an egg on my Galaxy S6 Edge when it's under heavy load. 37 °C are totally fine. |
Checked your phone, under load goes up to 39deg

The surface temperatures of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are really low while idling and only reach up to 29.3 °C at some spots at the front. The back is even cooler with only 28 °C in the same scenario. The temperatures will increase under maximum load and we were able to measure up to 38.9 °C, which is not a very high value. Both the HTC One M9 (up to 38.4 °C) and the Ascend P7 (up to 37.9 °C) are even slightly cooler, but all the other rivals are noticeably warmer and surpass the 40 °C mark. We can measure the highest temperature in our comparison for the Nokia Lumia 930 (up to 48.4 °C).
The temperatures are not that cool inside the chassis. Shorts load periods are no problem for the SoC, but that changes under sustained load. We checked that with the battery tests of GFXBench 3.0 and 3.1. They run the T-Rex test thirty times in a row and log the battery capacity as well as the frame rates. The performance drops by around 25 percent during the eighth run and by 50 percent compared to the original performance in run number 22. This can results in dropped frames when you play games for a while, since we can only see half of the original 53 fps in the Offscreen test. The diagrams of GFXBench 3.1 clearly show that the clock of the GPU is below its nominal value for a longer period and the CPU cores are running at low frequencies in the last third of the test as well.

How can I measure the temperature? Because I'm pretty sure that thing gets higher, especially when using it in the Gear VR. The thing gets so hot sometimes in VR that I can barely touch it anymore and I really doubt that that's the case with only 39 °C. Not saying the review is wrong or anything, but we all know how very much Samsung smartphones can differ in single cases. For instance, my european model has another SoC than the American one and so on. So, do I need some kind of special thermometer or something?
