No one from people who actually tried Switch and having and using it hand, did not mention at all that Switch is hot. So if Switch relay is hot, we would know by now.

It's in the OP, but I did change the thread from "How HOT is the Switch?" to the current clickbait "Is the Switch too hot?" xD
Maybe I should change it to a neutral "Switch is cool"

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?

You need a flir camera or a surface thermometer, still the phone could get hot in VR since the headset can prevent its thermals.
Be sure to VR without the back cover.
