Despite their benefits, Google’s Tensor-powered handsets, like the Pixel 8 series, have long been known for running hot and heating up faster than rival devices. I know it’s anecdotal, but on several occasions, my Pixel 7 Pro has become so hot it issued a device heating alert and, on one of these occasions, the Pixel told me that the camera flash and camera zoom stabilization were disabled. The phone even issued a heating alert on a summer day when recording several minutes of 4K/30fps video (never mind 4K/60fps).

By contrast, I don’t think I ever saw heating warnings on my old HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro, and that phone only ever got warm when fast charging or playing demanding games.
