I've had a Pixel 4a for ~3 years at this point. I had to replace it some time last year because I had lost my original in a lake. T-Mobile gave me whichever lower-end Pixel there was at the time and I immediately gave it back because of the offputting amount of warmth it produced doing very little. When the time does come to properly upgrade, how would I go about searching for phones that run cool? I've been thinking about my next choice to be a jump-ship from the Pixel series given my, uh, experience (there was a bit more that I didn't like about it)

There's also the manufacturer to consider, the SD8gen1 and SD8gen1+ are basically the same chip, but made in samsung and tsmc fabs respectively. The tsmc made chip runs A LOT more efficiently.
