Most flagship smartphones along with mid-range devices are overheating these days. When a consumer spends hard-earned money on an ultra-premium device, they don’t want it to overheat quickly and ruin the experience. iPhones are generally better than Androids in terms of heat. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 was one of the biggest contributors to flagship Android smartphone overheating in 2022. The chipset’s older brother, Snapdragon 8+ Gen1, which now ships with flagship devices such as ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro, has the heating a little and made the chip more efficient.
Because of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, smartphone companies had to install bigger and much better cooling systems for their devices. However, it was still not enough. The best Android flagships in 2022 are overheating.
It’s not just the Qualcomm chips, but also the MediaTek chipsets. OnePlus Nord 2 on MediaTek Dimensity 1200 heats up pretty fast. Of course, at the end of the day, the faster the processor is and the more load it can handle, the more heat it will generate. But here’s the thing, companies don’t need to design chips that are just faster than the previous generation, they need to design chips that are fast enough and also efficient and don’t heat the device much.
In the coming months and years, smartphone manufacturers should try to provide a cool experience to the users. The better the cooling system, the more users would want a device. Especially in humid conditions like India, overheated appliances tend to annoy customers a lot.
iPhone 13 Pro Max One of the best smartphones in the Keep Cool department
An iPhone expert and handler for years told TelecomTalk that one of the biggest advantages the iPhone 13 Pro Max has over the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and other flagship Android devices is that it doesn’t heat up as quickly and as quickly. A fast smartphone that overheats is not a pleasant experience at all.
Things like high-res video recording overheat Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip smartphones pretty fast. The same is true for many other Android devices as well.
