Huawei’s P20 series is one of the oldest and most popular smartphone lines in China as well as globally. Currently, the smartphone runs HarmonyOS version 2.0.0.230, which has been updated from 2.0.0.216 with March 2022 security updates.

Users report that their mobile phone temperature keeps rising after updating with a recent Huawei P20 update. While using the smartphone, they notice that the device’s temperature is no longer normal. Due to this problem, users are unable to use the device for a long time.

The mobile phone has just been updated and some system apps will run in the background to optimize the device’s performance. Due to the fact that the app runs in the background and consumes power, the smartphone may become hot. A moderator suggested restarting the device. If this doesn’t work, we recommend visiting Huawei Center.
