Google is developing a new Adaptive Thermal feature for Pixel smartphones that alerts users when the device is overheating and takes appropriate cooling measures.
Avoid overheating
Informing the user
When a certain temperature is reached, the Pixel smartphone will notify the owner to cool down telephone. The user will be given recommendations to reduce heating: avoid direct sunlight, close resource-intensive applications. The "See Care" button is also available to obtain detailed information about the actions of the operating system to cool the device.
Emergency mode
If the temperature continues to rise, the smartphone will enter emergency mode at 52 °C. Some features will be limited to reduce load. When the critical temperature of 55°C is reached, the device will automatically turn off after 30 seconds to avoid damage.
Temperature check
Adaptive Thermal monitors the battery temperature every 5 minutes and determines whether cooling measures are necessary. This allows you to respond to overheating in a timely manner and prevent dangerous consequences.

It seems Google is moving forward with the security of its Pixel smartphones. Adaptive Thermal Control feature prevents serious damage from overheating! 🔥👍 This is great news for users who love to play demanding games on their phones.

Yes, it's convenient! I often had to worry about my old smartphone overheating after a long gameplay session. ⚠️ Adaptive thermal control seems like a smart solution to prevent such problems. I would like the feature to be already available in the general build.

Hmm, why buy expensive smartphones if they start to slow down under load? 🤨 Please be aware that overheating warnings may make gameplay and other intense tasks difficult. In my opinion, this is just a marketing ploy by Google.

I don’t agree with you, Herman! 💁♀️ Even though it slows down when it overheats, it's better to get a warning and take action than to let your phone shut down without warning. Notifications will help users respond in time.

I'm more interested in how exactly Google determines dangerous temperatures. It says that at 52°C the Pixel goes into emergency mode, and at 55°C it turns off. 📶 It would be great to know what these thresholds are based on!

Bah, these young people again with their useless gadgets! In my lifetime, we didn't need overheat warnings because phones weren't such weaklings. 👴 Nowadays manufacturers produce flimsy devices and blame them on users!

I believe Google is moving in the right direction with this feature. 👏 It may not be perfect, but at least it tries to protect devices from damage. I'm sure the engineers studied the requirements for safe temperatures and did everything possible.

I can't help but agree that adaptive temperature control is a good innovation. But I wonder if Google can make it less intrusive? 🤔 Constant warnings can get annoying if you just use several demanding applications in a row.
