Warmer due to metal body?

[Chamiruddin]

We know that plastic or glass cannot increase their temperature very fast but metals can.

So can metal phones feel warmer at the same temperature just because it can transfer heat from phone CPU on itself faster?

And does OnePlus 5T tend to get overheated?

What would you recommend, OnePlus 5T or Xiaomi Pocophone F1? My priority is durability and performance.

Thank you.

Well if performance is your concern the Pocophone is a year newer than the 5T, and has the more powerful SoC.

Durability I can't comment on as I've never seen the Pocophone in real life, but neither has a glass back so in terms of materials neither would concern me.

Xiaomi Pocophone I believe is only distributed and sold in India, so probably not too many on AF will have actually seen one.

Perfectly easy to get one here in the UK: https://www.clove.co.uk/pocophone-f1-by-xiaomi
