Hopefully Tensor 2 will resolve the extra heat at times.
They probably felt it wasn't enough of an issue to not release the 6A with the first Tensor. There is enough history with the 6 and Pro without any major overheat issues.
Tensor is made by Samsung, those are the buggy chips and left overs that Samsung throws away.
It probably won't be any different than pixel 6 line. Pixel 7 will probably still run warm. Google needs tsmc
I lost money on my pixel. It used to turn off in the summer heat of 19 degrees in the UK.
Gives hot warning in sunlight use. Use as navigation maps in car is out of question.
Also wireless charging and low volume issues.
Too hot even to hold.
Got replacement from google, same issues. Back to iPhone 13.
Reddit is full of people reporting these issues.
I thought 6A would be better.
Edit: i bought pixel 6A, same heating issues. Returned for refund.
@@AAQiLx i did have same issue , my pixel 6 got hot even in normal use ! such as messaging , web browsing , ... that was terrible experience😥
@@rwyo83 LOL.
Yeah... I don't buy it. The Pixel 4a has had overheating issues, and still does to this day (I have one). 4 mins of recording video at 1080p and it stops recording and tells me the phone is too hot, and that I can begin recording after it has cooled down. RUBBISH! It happens to the Pixel 4a 5G. It happens on the Pixel 5a and it is STILL happening on the Pixel 6a.
It's completely ridiculous. If you think this is going to improve on your 6a, you're wrong. It's been an issue for years with Pixel phones, when using the camera. I had an Honor 8 I bought about 5 years ago, and was able to record for up to 20 minutes at 1080p without the phone overheating and the recording forcibly stopped.
Same here owner of a pixel 4a 5G and experienced poor thermal management throughout the life of the phone (and poor thermal management on the Pixelbook as well). Sometimes my phone would overheat and stop working on short drives. Now I leave the phone near my cars dashboard vent when I'm driving so it doesn't overheat. I miss my old one plus phones - I never had this consistent problem on one plus, Motorola, Samsung, Microsoft, Apple and even Kyocera tech. This is the only tech brand I've had overheating problems with.
Think about it - Google is offering massive discounts to pixel users. I can get the 6a for about $186, with free pixel buds if I trade in my cracked pixel 4a 5g. The catch? A crappy phone and brand loyalty. So, I'm never buying a pixel phone again unless they fix the persistent thermal issues, battery life (6 hours really???) and google's racist reputation.
Watching this on my hot pixel 6 pro
My Pixel 6 pro does overheat. At the pool I hide the phone under a towel. When I remove it from the towel, I've got about 5-10 minutes until it gives me a warning
Seems like Google just doesn't know how to make a phone that just works. Seems like every Google phone that has ever come out had issues.
Thank you @TechOdyssey for making the video and talking about the overheating issue. I also saw Mark's video. All fair and points taken. I'm not a tech tester, and I do rely on what I hear from testers like you to tell whether a phone is worth buying. Just wanted to say I appreciate your work. I will wait and see how it goes with the one I will get (still on its way). My guess is that the answer will be the universally adopted one: it depends (on where you are, how you use it, etc.).
Thank you. I talk to Mark on a daily basis. He was telling me how quickly his overheats yesterday which is pretty crazy. I tested mine again yesterday. 4 1/2 minutes to overheat recording 4K60 out in the sun. At room temperature and normal temps it's not an issue. Another tech reviewer buddy even recorded continuously in 4K60 indoors for over 2hrs straight. But, nobody is experiencing overheating from regular use non-video recording related that I know of.
I hate you so much. But also, love you. It's a love/hate relationship. Thanks for the shout-out ❤️
Sure thing. I got you, boo.
Mark's videos are very entertaining with he's comical sarcasm, and team Subie!
Yup yup
#teamsubbie
@@MarksTech I subscribed to you before tech odyssey said you were awful. I have not watched as much as you.
Exactly, though sometimes i do bash him on the comment section, " but believe me, i never skip any of his videos and i guess there's no day i don't watch his videos since he basically push out videos every single day. Let me just say he's one of my favourite though.
@@MarksTech What up brotha! Nice to see you at Adam's channel. I was just going back and forth with you guys videos this morning. I appreciate both of you guys videos!
Good stuff....and with Android 13 coming out soon, and with monthly updates I'm sure Google will be updating this phone so that this "issue" gets their attention. I'm not concerned.
Well, one could hope so, but thermal management has really more to do with the hardware. If the phone overheats when recording in 4K 60, that suggests there are issues on the hardware level. There isn't much left to "optimize" as such in basic tasks like recording video.
@@C3lloman Not true. Video encoding is one of the reasons for needing so much computational power, so changing the encoding or optimizing the software can solve the problems. Try running linux mint xfce (or any other distro) on your laptop/desktop then try Windows 11 and compare thermals. Same hardware, different software.
google never fixed that issue, at least my pixel 6a still overheats. I would be concerned
I've been taking my Pixel 6 Pro out to the lake on my dad's boat and pretty much if it's not in the shade it's warning me about heat. Granted it's not preventing me from taking pictures like the Pixel 4a 5g did or flat out shutting down.
This Pixel 6 family can't stop having issues.
I really want to switch to the pixel ecosystem but the whole recording video overheating thing worries me. I use my Samsung S21 plus and am able to record 4k60 as long as I want. I did a 33 minute full music set with no hickup. Not bashing on Google or pixel but I sure would hate to switch to pixel, and not be able to record longer than a few minutes.
Samsung trash korean Phone..
Think the S21 Plus camera app is using the H264 video codec which is a lot less intensive than the HEVC/H265 codec but uses more storage space. The Pixel 6/6a defaults to the H265 codec which might explain why it gets so hot quickly.
@@ixTaKK good to know! Thanks for that information.
@@chrisanytime1 No problem, I'm getting my 6a this Thursday, so I'll confirm whether or not the default codec is set to H265 or not.
@@ixTaKK can you change the pixel codec to h264 to reduce the performance impact? Let me know how you like the 6a!
I've had my P6 for about a month now, I can say that I notice that it get really hot and starts to slow then it sends me a notice that some features are going to be turned off due to overheating.
This usually happens when I'm making Amazon deliveries.
I've noticed this issue also and it's concerning.
Good call-out on optimization. My s22U took about a week before it figured out how to beat optimize apps for battery life. Hopefully this won't be an issue that plagues yet another pixel phone.
I thought you said max tech for a second. He's kind of...not my favorite person to put it nicely. 😂 Mark is freaking hilarious
Oh heck no. Lol.
I have had my Pixel 5 for over a year and from day 1 till now it starts to overheat when I record video for longer than a minute. It's really unacceptable because I haven't had this issue ever with a phone, even 10 years ago when phones were much more rudimentary. Looking to upgrade but thinking I have to move away from the Pixel because it sounds like even the 6a and 6 Pro have overheating issues. Unbelievable.
My 6a overheating during viber video calls. After 10 minutes it turn off mobile data, end video call, starting dark theme etc...
So disappointing...
My Pixel 4a overheats so badly it makes it difficult to do gig work; I had Pixel 3a before and the same issue except the battery straight died.
Now I'm debating whether the Pixel 6 pro or One Plus 10 pro... Had no plans to replace the phone, smh.
@@rogliczoran
Yep. To top it off there are so many "good reviews" of this phone and none of these articles and fancy "UA-camrs" even mention this so of course people purchased this
I just got mine today. It was the first thing I noticed while it was setting up.
My pixel 6 overheats when I'm outside. Last week I was mowing the lawn and it was 87 degrees here in PA and the Pixel UI started crashing after 30 minutes. I had to leave it inside and let it cool off.
Was it in direct sun?
@@gmee123 no, I know better than that lol
My Pixel 6 used to get hot in the beginning but it never shut down or anything. Great content 👍🏾
Does it still get hot?
@@JuanVasquez-ph8be no sir those problems been gone
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS just bought mine 2 days ago and it would get pretty hot to the touch.. but it wouldn't overheat .. did you do anything in order to not let it get hot ?
@@JuanVasquez-ph8be no after the April updates my phone hasn't run hot since then unless I'm out in the heat but to be fair my OnePlus 9 and Galaxy S21+ got pretty hot
does it get warm / heat when charging?
Nice one Adam good to see you take a balanced and common sense approach. At least its not as bad as the microwave that is the Sony Xperia I IV. As for Mark's videos the guy is a legend so funny and honest about Tech and whatever phone he reviews.
Thank you. Yeah. Haha. Mark is great.
@@TechOdyssey You're welcome Dude. Both you and Mark do a tremendous job. Well done to the two of you 👍🏼
@@mr_stoosh thanks a ton! 🙏
On the bright side, the hand warming feature is great when video recording in the cold 😅
Depends on which country you are using it in 😂
Not everyone lives in the Arctic. We have been in the 107 - 110F temperature range for over 70 days in my region. I'd love to go back to the 80's and 90's.
After 5g update it is super hot 🔥
When you try it again with your 6a test your 6 and 6 pro at the same time. Curious about the result.
I tested the 6 Pro in the same condition yesterday and recorded for over 10 minutes 4K60 and didn't have a problem
If the phone case is hot it means the heat sink is dissipating heat away from the chip, which is a good thing. Of course if it shuts down because of heat that's a problem.
That is one bad excuse 😆
@@blipblop92 it’s a fact, for example, Samsung phones get HOTTER than google phones, as measured in some high intensity battery drain tests, the only reason they don’t feel hot, is because they are made of cheap plastic so it doesn’t dissipate the heat, Samsungs are hotter, but they don’t use metal, and if you ever learned anything past grade 5, you will know that metal dissipate heat better than plastic.
Thanks.
means every device that heat has actually good heat managing system? genius
Great video! I have this phone & ready to trade it in already. I have to put my phone in the freezer or put it on top of my air conditioner to cool it down. When the phone overheats for me, it does work, I can't post on social media or do anything else. I have had the phone for a year now. Even when I charge the phone it over heats. 😭😭
Thanks for this info! Never really thought about it
Got the stupid phone to record in 4k 60fps but it keeps overheating and not letting me record. What a waste of money
My pixel overheat's when im just watching instagram. and I have had my phone for 6 fucking months.
Does it heat while on rapid charging?
Had mine for a few days now and the warmest it's gotten so far was the initial cable transfer, and it felt no different than a phone that was fast charging. Even during a 90 minute Pokémon Go session in a park when it was 80° outside. (Although the battery did go from 95% to 71% after that) I should say that I don't have 5G turned on, because that it's a battery drain and 5G coverage in my area kinda sucks. (Despite being in a somewhat big city)
However I do think this is a legitimate concern. Had a 5a last year and it was a lithium ion bomb waiting to go off, couldn't play Pokémon Go for longer than 10 minutes or use the camera period. Worse was Google customer support not wanting to address it and told me this was normal.
While I'm glad my 6a isn't having these problems, it's ridiculous that others have had them like my 5a did, and this is their newest hardware.
I had a Huawei p20 lite, and it's software was not great. It never over heated, it notified me tidily and frequently when i needed to charge, or when it was about to die.
But it did what you expected.
The 6a has its own priorities, and I don't seem to be one of them 🤷
I am not gonna buy another pixel.
Good camera, not very user friendly, really bad software support.
You make a great point that the Tensor chip is getting to know your phone usage and and that can cause the it to get hot. Thanks for keeping us up to date on your experience.
I think I will be overheated sooner than the phone under Vegas sun.
🤣🤣🤣 oh so true.
Just got my Pixel 6a and its been pretty warm when it just sits there. I wil give it a week. Had a pixel 3 and I never experienced this. Just use my phone for basic calls, texts, photos. No overusage of apps. It's annoying for sure.
Get use to the warmness, now it may cool down a bit.
Does it heat while on rapid charging?
hey... looking forward to seeing your video about this topic in a week . I sold my Pixel 6 a week ago and decided to wait for the Pixel 7 but the better size of the 6a does have me tempted to buy used Pixel 3a for $100ish and get a trade in for $300 from google and get a 6a with free pixel buds ....
hi in the UK trade in value for pixel 3a £90
@@keithwinter7184 Yeah yeah here in the states they definitely give us a good value
My Pixel 6 Pro overheats just taking a few pictures if it's hot out. Hope this phone isn't the same.
Thanks for sharing this. Another well reputed reviewer said the same having used the phone for a week in India. This phone heats specially on mobile data and where network is poor. The peak summer season is gone here so I wonder what will happen during peak summer season. I guess keep the phone indoors and in ac all the time
I'm using it over my BT WiFi and it is still hot. I ran the system update and I'm currently running the updates for the apps.
Does it heat when on rapid charging?
@@karthikjmoger478 Never experienced any overheating. It's normal to heat up a little, if any, while charging. It's for all phones
Flashback... Blackberry Priv getting hot.
Haha. That was a hot phone.
Hey Adam awesome video as usual very informative. I think it's good idea to wait and see how the 6a will perform after google releases all post preorders updates. I am still running my 2018 OnePlus 6 8/128g midnight black. I recently replaced battery and the phone is still very snappy and fast, no software support anymore. I am hoping to use it for at least another Year. As for pixel 6a 60hz refresh rate, for me personally would be fine since i have been using mu OnePlus 6 for almost 4 years with only 60 Hz. Thanks 👍
😊
this is also my concern that pixel series has heating issues
Thanks for your time .always appreciated, even if I don't use the phone your testing .
Thanks a lot.
@@TechOdyssey no problem always enjoy
It's basically an Exynos chip so not surprised it overheats. Really wish Samsung could deliver an awesome high end chip
Isn't the Tensor chip base on an exynos chip? These are known for heat problems.
It's a bit more complicated than that
Yes, exynos is based on exynos. But that doesn't explain everything. Cause google could use a better cooling system inside to avoid that or lower clock speed generally.
@@pascal9728 and the cpu cores are designed differently. I believe it is just the cpu architecture
I hate this phone. No more Google phones for me
I just drove from WA to KY in ferocious heat. Attached my phone holder to the dash AC vent, worked great to keep cool, not shut down. Had P6 since Dec, is usually HOT, just daily use.
Nice! That's great.
Why companies don't make tiny fans to put in phones?
Noise, extra battery consumption, larger phone chassis.
@@TechOdyssey fun noise would be cool imo
@@SlowsG No, just no.
Other people will experience that and immediately call it trash. Some might not know this, others will deliberately use that to say get Samsung or Apple instead
Tensor runs hot in general. Pix 6 Pro is no stranger to it.
@Tech odyssey tell people to read my articles to the end I write horrible articles as well. 😜
i am conflicted, mine does get HOT, like I put it out of the case and stop the games hot. its been 7 days ill dive it another week and if not ill call google about it. i also fell like the baterry drains a bit fast, I charge it 100% when I go to bed I put it on battery save, i wake up tp 94%
All I know is the next phone I get is going to have an advanced cooling system because these new processors need it on Android.
Just turn on the battery saver thank me later 😊
Does it heat while on rapid charging?
I could believe it my pixel 6 pro 512 gb is practically unusable in the sun especially when recording video. This will be my last $1,000+ phone bet that.
Reba
"It's not going to overheat" Maybe, but it does get so hot that it won't charge while in use. 80% of my phone use is gaming and it won't charge up. And this is with a fan-cooled controller. At this point, I'm worried about permanent battery damage.
My pixel 5a was complete garbage. It was always shutting down from the heat. Forget even using it for 4k 60fps video.....3 min in and BAM....shutdown. That's one of the reasons I upgraded with the prime sale days to the 6 PRO. So far , so good. My 6P definitely got hot the first couple days, but can confirm after a week of daily use, I haven't noticed that anymore. Also, same with the battery usage. Initially, it was burning through battery juice, but now I get home without about 40% usage just from normal use throughout the day. Now , that isn't spending a lot of time watching videos or making calls. Just checking web sites, email etc, from time to time, but overall I am loving my 6P so far. The pro camera quality is amazing compared to the 5a. That damn camera had so much grain and noise in the photos when zooming in even slightly that it was ridiculous. My pixel 3a took great photos. I was so bummed when I upgraded to that 5a.
Mine heated up a lot but when i went into my network settings and changed from 5g to 4g the heat was reduced and its not as bad.
Does it heat while on rapid charging?
Hi, great info wrt the overheating. Is it much of an upgrade over the 4A 5G? I per se don’t need to upgrade but $300 trade in + free buds might be too good to pass. I am concerned I won’t get 300$ for the 4A 5G.
I'd trade it. It's the best trade in value you will ever get.
I think you should trade-in if you think its a good deal.
Your concern of not getting the $300 is valid because there are some people that have complained, but just know that the minority complain more than the majority praise, and if you still dont trust, you could film you putting in the 4a5g with the 6a (if you end up getting one) and use it in case they dont offer you the money claimed.
(Filming specifically with the 6a is to show that you didn't steal the video from somewhere else as they'd probably see the google photos data)
@@divano1014 that's not what I meant. I will mostly get the 300$ in trade in because phones are.in good condition. My question was regarding Pixel 4A 5G not maintaining the 300$ TRADE in value next year when the 7A or Pixel 8 rolls in.
@@rupeshbhatia1 Oh yes that's fair, I think the 4a5g is a great phone and keep it until you see another good deal, there might be another in the future but i cant predict.
I have the 6a, before that the 5a for travel. My main phone is the 22 ultra.
The 5a would overheat very easily. Lite use would disable camera features on the 5a due to overheating. I have not had any issues with the 6a, taken tons of photos. Now that it is optimized the boot up time for it was cut in half too.
Glad to hear it
how is your 6a now? my 5a legit motherboard died due to overheating, such trash, thinking about going to iphone, unless 6a is good
@@dashieat it's awesome, when I get tired of having a huge phone like the 22 ultra I'll SIM swap sometimes. Battery lasts all day, no overheating.
I bought the unlocked one straight from Google and use it on Verizon. It has no issues at all on LTE or Verizon C band 5g . It has the same connectivity as my Verizon S22 ultra, just minus the mm wave 5g which is worthless anyway
I bought the 6a (and the 30W charger) a couple of weeks ago and all its done is overheat, one of the speakers no longer works and when making phone calls the microphone doesn't work. Even for a £400 phone this is shambolic. Needless to say I'm returning the phone. Also Google's trade-in is a scam, they don't give you many options to state the condition of your phone so you pick one (aka the wrong one according to Google) and then they return it saying it's worthless. Overall I've lost a lot of respect for Google. Fucking dreadful.
Does it heat while on rapid charging?
I've had mine for months, I even returned the first one because they said it was probably a bad battery. This one is still doing it just trying to GO LIVE on Facebook but we have 2 Androids and 2 Iphones no overheating with them
My Galaxy S6 used to overheat. My Pixel pro runs warm but has never overheated. It hasn't been getting warm often as time has passed.
The problem is these Samsung manufactured SoC’s are hot garbage and TSMC chips are way better..
My pixel 4a5g over heats sooo much ever since getting it out the box 2 years ago .Google is a software company not a hardware company, well they haven't perfected the hardware part. To hear that this issue still persists just clarifies that Google has some work that needs to be done
Does the Pixel 6 Pro have overheating problems? Thinking of picking one up
I’ve never had any overheating issues with mine
Everyone says different but mine has overheating problem. Especially with Android 12 and now with 13 beta. I think that you can wait for the pixel 7 series and don't buy it before minimum 6 months. Wait the reviews.
Mine has been fine. I've had it for a week now and other than the first couple days of being hot, it's tamed down since.
Outdoors yes...
Some of them. Definitely outdoors. Mine can barely make it ten minutes taking pictures outside before it starts disabling the flash and exposure controls and doesn't have more than 20 in it before it reaches the point where the screen drops to 60Hz and it's noticeably slowed down. But it didn't always do that (had it since early December, only started struggling about a month ago), and not all of them do. Your mileage may vary, I'm planning to warranty mine for a replacement as lots of people have had good luck with that.
Mine overheated 6 pro overheated today and shut down. That's a good thing I guess, but a little bit of sun was shining on it and it was hot out today. It shut down but that's a good thing it didn't burn up. I'm hoping I'm hoping they can fix heating issues with the new software
Hi there, nice video. Since it was posted 10 days ago I'd like to ask, did the heating issues indeed went away? Or did you have to update to 13 beta to solve? I received the 6a today and is heating a lot after 10min of normal use
Hi , even I am facing the same issue and I received the phone today ... What's your status on overheating?
@@tejaslondhe7891 I returned it, overheating improved as the first day was the worst by far. It still kept overheating though, so I returned it
My 4a usb c port got wet
I over nighted a 6
Against my desire, I need a phone for work, and nobody had the 6a in stock so I relented for the 6
It was emergent
I am very distracted by the heat of this 6
I was looking forward to the 6a, hoping it would be like my 4a
Guess I might as well stay with this 6 though if the 6a has the same issue
And you're right
I just got this 6 Saturday
It's just now Monday
If it levels off in a week, like you say, I'll likely give this phone away to my nephew
It's too fancy for my needs and I'm not feeling the user friendliness experience that my Blackberry to Pixel4a afforded me
I came looking for your advice
You gave me the advice to transition from the Blackberry to the Pixel 4a
Thanks for the info
You're awesome
Can you please do a Pixel 5a Vs Pixel 6a camera comparison?
I don’t have the 5a anymore. Sorry
Trust me, 5a is garbage lol I just dumped mine for the 6 pro and google can keep that piece of shit 5a LOL
i think every phone will overheat under the right circumstances. my iPhone 7 Plus used to overheat in a UAG case when i played PUBG, and i had to take it out of the case. I do notice my current 13 mini also dimming the screen occasionally if i'm out in the sun all day or when i'm using Google Maps while driving, as my phone stand is dash mounted and leaves my phone exposed to the sun.
My Androids don't overheat at all
At Pocono Raceway and my P6P has overheated twice already. S22U hasn't missed a beat.
Why? Because many of the previous pixel line experience heating also. That's why people are cautious about it when 6a get warm or overheat
I just switched from Apple to Android and went to this phone. If I don't turn my AC on it gets hot. Now I'm trying to decide if I should get a S23 or Apple again but it sounds like you said the S23 gets hot too 😮
Not just the 6a my p6pro is a nightmare at times, fried an egg yolk on it too once, put a layer of cling film just over the back of the phone and put a yolk on it, started cooking. Nice wee egg n soldiers
I bought it today, Sept 27, and it's quite hot on the sides as i transfer data from my previous phone. Should I be concerned?
Does it heat while on rapid charging?
Just wondering if the issue with the phone overheating result taking 4k 60 gps video has something to do with the live hdr+ the system is doing. With so much processing going on with 60fps at such a high resolution, I would not be surprised that the system is overheating.
Is there a way to disable the hdr+ on video in the camera app? And if so, I'd like to know how it affects the heat and the quality of the video output without hdr.
After six months of use it was fine but now in the summer in listening to a podcast on the deck in 80 degrees (in the sun) the phone shutdown due to overheating after just 15 minutes. Repeatable issue. I've just tried the hidden developer trick of turning some apps from the default graphics driver to the system driver so I'll see if that helps. If not, I notice that YT reviewers usually don't have a case on the phone while I have the Poetic Guardian. Maybe the problem is my enclosed case and I have to risk lower protection and get a minimal case. But either way the engineers need to do a lot better job of testing these very expensive devices. Or just stop using stupid glass and switch to aluminum so the phone is its own heatsink.
I want a 6A but also waiting for the 7…love Pixel phones but every time there’s a new one other Yutubers put a lot of drama without giving the phone a chance to learn your rutine.

@@karthikjmoger478 Not that I know
Mine reaches 42c while on fast charging is that common? Can you please check yours by installing temp reading app?
Is the issue resolved? Anyone still experiencing the overheating problem?
One year later, the phone still runs hot 😂
I think Google should just stick to what they are good at which is optimizing machine learning algorithms and license it off to other manufacturers
My 6a got so hot today that it stopped my data and I googled it and found this video
Nice pick up as always good to know 👏😎🇮🇪
The bixel 6a is An Unfinished phone: it does overheat which makes it unstable while gaming and filming, it also stutters according to other reviewers, it has an ancient Sony camera sensor and a barebones software with few features. there are so many other budget phones that are much better than this, it is overhyped in my opinion by reviewers.
It’s the cortex X1 cores I believe
I presume you're talking about it overheating without a case on. I always put a case and screen protector on my phones. I guess I *should not* get a Pixel 6a then?
With a case and screen protector on.
@@TechOdyssey -- Thanks, that's good to know. Now I'm wondering how the 6a will work using AAWireless with Android Auto. My current phone (an Essential PH-1) gets very hot when using wireless Android Auto (mostly Waze and Google Maps). I suspect that the 6a will too.
a few reviewers when testing out encountered an issue with fingerprint scanner which is phone is getting unlocked with unregistered finger. have you faced any such issue?
I'm debating filling this sucker with cpu cooling paste
Hi: My A5 bit the biscuit, New phone? I was thinking S22 they are offering $200.00 gift card.
Any advice would be great.
What about the CPU throttling in Pixel 6a and also Tensor is modified Exynos 2100 how the phone is heating when using mobile data ?
So does this problem go away in a couple of days? I just bought a pixel 6a yesterday and I'm really worried about how warm my phone is. Plus, my replacement window online expires in another 5 days so idk what to do!
Hello Aishwarya
I bought my phone yesterday and facing the same issue, can you suggest me what to do now. There is only replacement option available
Does your phone heat while on fast charging?
I'm convinced to buy a pixel 6a because of you and juanbagnell.
i supposed to buy a google pixel 6a but these heating issues kinda fucked up please share the real world experience if any one used this phone.
6A got so hot with a normal case on it that it phone split open as the battery had expanded so much and not it cannot run unless on A/C power. I replaced the battery in it today for $30 so yes this is heat crisis and costs to put in another battery and buy extra tools and adhesive to put the screen back on the case so a lot of extra wasted time and $ for a phone which is only 15 month old
Same as 5a
Geeky Renjith said it’s heating while using mobile data....It has heating issue! Period!! You can trust Geeky Rent.
Any phone heating up using it in the first few days is normal
My Pixel 6 over heats on the back.
You are the man with Pixel
Thank you
Is it the same case with no case on it .. still get that hot and stops recording video ?
Is this a problem with the Google chip?
What was the outdoor temperature at that time?
