Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 users who have been dealing with overheating issues may have found relief with the release of the new Android 14 software update. Reports from Reddit threads, as highlighted by Android Police, suggest that these phones are running noticeably cooler after the update, resulting in extended battery life. It’s presumed that the reduced strain on the processor is contributing to these improvements.
Overheating problems have been a common concern among Pixel phone users from the 2021 and 2022 lineups, particularly due to the Tensor G1 and Tensor G2 chipsets that tend to push thermal capacities to their limits.
