As the Lumia 930 becomes more widely available, we are picking up on reports of the Windows Phone getting warm. Windows Phone Central Forums member Snapples has started a discussion on this and it appears Snapples is not alone.
We've also heard some grumblings about the Lumia 930 having a purple hue but the overheating seems to be taking center stage. The warmth (described as very, very hot) was first noticed by Snapples during the initial set-up and installation of apps. Thinking this was just a passing fad, the heat returned while browsing the web or sending a text.
In skimming through the four pages of discussion, it appears Snapples is not alone. As you would expect, some Lumia 930 owners experienced the warmth while others commented it wasn't any different than they had experienced with previous Lumia Windows Phones. Many noted an excessive battery drain accompanying the warmth. There is also some suggestion that the aluminum body transfers the heat more noticeable, amplifying the warmth.
