How to Fix Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro Overheating Issues

The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are the latest flagship smartphones from Google, boasting a powerful Google Tensor G2 chipset. While improvements in thermal performance were expected, some users are reporting similar overheating issues as the previous generation, the Google Pixel 6.

Reports of Overheating

According to multiple reports (1, 2), some Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro users are experiencing noticeable overheating issues in various usage scenarios. Users claim that the overheating can even make it uncomfortable to hold the device. In most cases, the overheating seems to be camera-related, occurring when taking photos, recording video, making video calls, or simply opening the Camera app. However, some users have reported overheating during normal or light use.

Possible Solution

The latest December 2022 update for the Pixel 7 series includes improvements to optimize thermal performance. Users experiencing overheating issues are advised to install this update and see if the problem persists.

Using Third-Party Apps to Manage Overheating

To manage overheating issues in your Google Pixel 7 or 7 Pro, you can use third-party apps like Core Manager App, which offers a phone cooler feature to reduce your device’s temperature. This feature works by closing background apps and processes that consume more power, optimizing your device’s performance. Additionally, Core Manager App also has a feature to remove duplicates files, freeing up storage space on your device. This can be particularly useful when you’re using your device for extended periods or running resource-intensive apps.

Wrap-Up

Overheating issues are not uncommon in smartphones, and the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are no exception. However, the latest update from Google should address most of the thermal performance issues reported by users.
