You should though. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. I’ve seen all the reviews/tests showing how bad of a chip it is. But in day to day use it’s fast snappy and pretty good.
it does however warm the device a lot and warmth = battery loss.
Tensor G1 and G2 would probably be absolutely fine if fabbed on TSMC.
Mine is borderline unusable compared to my pixel 5.
Is it summer and am I outdoors? Phone will shutdown due to overheating.
Am I using Google maps and the phone is mounted in direct sunlight? It will throttle dark mode to manage overheating .
Have I been using the phone throughout the day? It needs to be charged before I leave work.
Honestly I’d say my p7p is the worst phone I’ve had in a long time, it’s hard to go back without considering how phones were for their time, but my instinct is that the last time I had a phone this comparably bad it was a Samsung Galaxy s3.
So, it’s just dealing with high data traffic and using it’s antenna. It is normal for any phone to heat up under those circunstances. 👍🌡️📱
Different guy, but mine heats up with any use. Google maps is particularly bad, as is anything that uses GPS or cellular data.
