However, they could continue recording at least another 30 minutes without issues.Our own Sony Xperia X review unit has also had overheating issues and we’ve also seen the “some functions disabled by temperature rise.” The camera never shut itself off though.The Xperia X is powered by a Snapdragon 650 and there aren't many reports of Snapdragon 650 powered phones overheating.
