The Google Pixel Smartphone Has Been Overheating

The Google Pixel has a lot of power and impressive features. It has a 5-inch display, a screen resolution that rivals many laptops, a 1.6GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage space, a 12.3-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a powerful battery, among other features. It’s Daydream-ready, which means that you can use the Pixel with Google Daydream to experience high quality virtual reality. With this capability, however, comes reports of the phone overheating, particularly when accessing VR apps or other high-power apps.

Smartphones often overheat because they are trying to perform too many tasks at once. That’s why it’s important to not only cool your device as soon as it begins to overheat, but to also prevent it from overheating. If you neglect your phone whenever it overheats, you’re allowing the heat to damage your battery and performance of your device. This means that your phone won’t last as long as it’s supposed to — you’ll have to replace it sooner than expected.

Why has the Google Pixel been overheating?

Many Google Pixel users have reported that their phone begins to overheat whenever they open a VR app on their device. Even though Google Pixel is an impressive phone, it’s still not able to handle the demands of the VR world. It is still a smartphone, after all, and it is trying to perform an incredibly complex task. Google is looking into this issue, however.

Other users have reported that the Google Pixel overheats after a few hours of use, even without using VR technology. In this case, it would be best to use the CPU Cooler in addition to restarting your device. You should also determine which apps are causing your device to overheat. The easiest way to do this is to consult the list of apps that the CPU Cooler gathers. It will also disable those apps, so that you have a better experience with your phone. However, if you continue to have the same issues with the same apps, you may want to consider whether or not you can do without those apps.
