From a hardware point of view, Pixel 5a 5G is one of midrange you can find the best Andrews, but the cameraman who want a higher resolution and frame rate for video recording there is a small problem, this Google’s latest smartphones overheated when recording videos with 4K 30FPS and 4K 60FPS options, causing many users to vent their dissatisfaction on Twitter.

A user said that if it were not for overheating, the Pixel 5a would be a good device. Several Pixel 5a users described their experiences when recording videos using the 4K 30FPS and 4K 60FPS options on Twitter. One of them named Marks_Tech showed a screenshot of a video taken at 4K 30FPS with the words The device is too hot and the flash has been turned off.

He claimed that the Pixel 5a gets hotter when shooting at 4K 60FPS. Although this problem alone will cause a large number of users to return this mid-range phone, he said that this phone is good in other aspects.

The second user, AdamJMatlock, said that even if the air conditioner is turned on, the Pixel 5a will overheat when the 4K 60FPS option is enabled. This makes Google very embarrassed because even the 2020 iPhone SE can record 4K 60FPS video without overheating.

It is true that when shooting video at such a high resolution and frame rate, its small battery will quickly run out, but at least users can choose to continue recording indefinitely until the battery is completely depleted.

Users on Twitter believe that the problem is that the Snapdragon 765G and its ISP have a tendency to overheat when working. This may be one of the reasons why Google has cooperated with Samsung to develop customized Tensor processors for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Then again, if this is only a software-level problem, Google should not take too long to release an update to solve this problem.
