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)

    8gen1 was absolute trash. Performance was phenomenal but only until throttling murders it. It was so bad, active cooling became a thing in phones. Ridiculous.

    It killed sonys Xperia mkIVs. Only the 10, which was on an SD695 was any good. 695 seems like another good one, actually. A sibling and my mom got phones with that SoC, and the phones work fast, while sipping battery.

    8gen2 seems like a return to form. TSMC again, surprise surprise.
