While Android phones come with overheating management tools, the recent APK teardown from Android Authority points to a potential new one that works with users to manage the temperature of Google Pixel phones 

A feature called Adaptive Thermal will be added to the tools already on the phone Android devices have already adjusted their own performance by reducing brightness, reducing CPU speed, or shutting down completely 

, more powerful processing chips, power-hungry 5G modems and brightness than ever, the phone can quickly get hot, especially in the summer heat 

There are actions to help the user himself cool down the phone With the new Adaptive Thermal feature, you don't have to search for such actions or suggestions yourself 

Android Authority found code that references this feature in the Pixel Device Health Services app It features notification, dialog box and battery temperature measurement service

The battery temperature service starts when the phone's battery reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and a "pre-emergency" alert tells the user that the phone needs to be cooled, "performance may slow down" or "Try to avoid direct sunlight or put it near an app that consumes a lot of battery" You may see things like, "I don't want to do that" or "I don't want to do that"

The notification includes a button called Browse Care steps

When you tap that button, it obviously does 2 things 1 details what the phone is doing to cool down, such as limiting performance or disabling the 5G network The second thing it does is provide suggestions on how it can help users cool down the phone These suggestions include avoiding direct sunlight or closing battery-intensive apps such as video players, games, and cameras

These can be dismissed by tapping the Got it button or by tapping the details that open the support page However, this feature seems to be a work in progress They also said they couldn't trigger the alert, but they couldn't make the phone hot enough to reach the limit  This may be a good thing for Pixel phones, but it's already pretty efficient as it won't overheat in intense benchmark tests under direct sunlight
