- andrewia 3y agoYep, high-resolution recording while charging, streaming music, and displaying a map will quickly exceed the thermal constraints of any phone. I guess a MagSafe holder with mini sunshade and active cooling fan could help?
- bmicraft 3y agoWireless charging is just another source of heat. There are clamps that only grip your phone from the side, leaving the back open to dissipate heat.

- clumsysmurf 3y agoFTA > We don’t know how Google plans on mitigating heat issues or how it deals with the issue of potentially damaging a camera that uses optical image stabilization I think sun sitting the phone, while its doing nothing else but charging is enough to cause concern... guess we'll see.
- leptons 3y agoAt some point the phone shuts itself down when it gets too hot. Not ideal to use it as a dashcam, especially if it's also doing navigation and charging.
- askvictor 3y agoIt's easy enough (for Google devs) to allow the battery to drop to lower charge, and only trickle-charge it. Shut down non-essential apps to keep CPU heat output to a minimum. That might help a little. Not much you can do about the sun though - maybe a liquid-cooling case that holds the phone in place?
