Pixel 5a is rapidly overheating, Google is investigating

The Pixel 5a seems to have problems with overheating, which is usually due to the use of the camera. The Pixel 5a stops filming early because it gets too hot, and Google is investigating the issues.

Pixel 5a problem

Pixel 5a reviewers and users are reporting a serious problem with the new Pixel 5a smartphone on social media. Google’s cheapest device gets hot too quickly when you use the camera app. CNET reports that the phone will stop filming in 4K resolution after a few minutes, especially if you film at a higher frame rate of 60 frames per second. Various media endorse the problem.

The problem does not only arise when you film in the highest possible resolution and frame rate, but also with Full HD recordings. A user tried to livestream with his Pixel 5a and got an overheating warning after an hour of filming. If the phone gets warm while using the camera app, it will also automatically slow down in an attempt to cool down.

Google is investigating the facts

Google is aware of the issue, according to Android Authority, and it is now specifically investigating the issues with the camera app. It is not clear at this time whether it is a software error or a problem with the phone’s hardware.

The Google Pixel 5a is Google’s midrange phone that comes with the Snapdragon 765G. The device is similar in many aspects to the Pixel 5a that hit the market last year, and it sports a 6.34-inch AMOLED display and dual cameras on the back. The smartphone was introduced on August 17, but it will not be released in European countries. It may reach the Netherlands and Belgium via gray imports.
