Google’s Pixel 6 and 7 smartphones have been plagued with heating and battery life issues since they were released. However, Pixel 6 and 7 owners on Reddit are reporting that Android 14 seems to have fixed these issues.
The battery life has also improved, and the phone is running a lot smoother. Google has not specifically mentioned any changes in Android 14 to address the overheating issues on its Pixels, but it’s possible the company has tweaked the CPU scheduler to reduce the usage of the big CPU cores.
While Android 14 has improved heat management, Tensor SoCs are still power-hungry, so your phone is still likely to get warm or too hot to touch when used heavily under direct sunlight or gaming.
Overall, this is good news for Pixel 6 and 7 owners, and it shows that Google is committed to fixing the issues that have plagued their flagship smartphones.
