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)
Anecdotally, my new OnePlus 11 runs surprisingly cool all the time. Even using its ridiculously fast charging doesn’t seem to heat it up much, sometimes not at all.
I don’t have any hard data on it, but I definitely noticed the first day how cool it was in charging and playing stupid time waster games as I do.
