Overheating on pixel 8
Hi everyone,
I just got my first pixel 8 refurbished from backmarket in "perfect conditions". Coming from a one plus nord 2 I'm really appreciating the better camera and the general smoothness of the phone, while not being able to charge fast doesn't really bother me.
My only issue is that the phone hits 40 degrees of temperature every time I use YouTube or even Reddit for a long time, maybe while I listenen to videos doing something else. I specify that I don't have wifi at home, so it's running on 5g.
Checking in the battery settings it always stayed in the higher part of the "normal usage range" of temperature of the phone, but still I never had this issue on my one plus and I just wanted to understand if it's normal or it means the phone is damaged and will die eventually soon and if there is something I can do about it besides sending it back and go for some other phone.
