I’ve had a Pixel 4a for ~3 years at this point. I had to replace it some time last year because I had lost my original in a lake. T-Mobile gave me whichever lower-end Pixel there was at the time and I immediately gave it back because of the offputting amount of warmth it produced doing very little. When the time does come to properly upgrade, how would I go about searching for phones that run cool? I’ve been thinking about my next choice to be a jump-ship from the Pixel series given my, uh, experience (there was a bit more that I didn’t like about it)

    Unfortunately generally the “slower” chip sets also run cooler so many flagships will have heating issues to contend with depending on ambient temperature.

    I hate my P6 Pro for that reason, and will be doing the same as OP and avoiding any poorly heat throttling phones in the future.

    I’m tired of having my videos shut off mid shoot because of heating issues, or issues while using GPS on the motorcycle.
