- swores 3y agoI guess that depends on climate, anecdotally in the UK both I and many people I know mount our phones on the windshield or dashboard without worrying about it being hit by sunlight and without overheating problems, even while it's charging and screen on for satnav.
- adamckay 3y agoUsing the camera to record video is quite processor intensive, though, and that can cause a good amount of heat build up.
- LorenPechtel 3y agoYeah, I had a variation on that not long ago. I was outside, it was warm and I was facing the sun. Just before I needed it my phone suddenly piped up that it was overheating and it force-closed all apps and wouldn't run anything until it cooled down a bit.
