Excess heat has sometimes marred the user experience with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7. However, it appears that Android 14 has brought about the necessary optimizations and adjustments to keep these devices running at more comfortable temperatures.
It’s worth noting that Google hasn’t explicitly mentioned an overheating fix for older Pixel phones in the Android 14 update. As suggested by Android Police, it’s possible that the software is reducing CPU speeds slightly, which could impact performance but ultimately results in less heat generation.
