A sunny day + dashcam + maps + charging = melted battery I fear.

2 or 3 of those would cause pretty extreme screen dimming and slowness with my Pixel 7 Pro. I drive a lot so now it’s my kiddo’s daily driver lol

Even without sun, recording a video with any modern android phone causes a ton of heat. While this feature is super cool, it seems like a battery killer to me.

Maybe we will never see it publicly release, though. Or maybe Google is developing it because they made a breakthrough in Tensor 3 and it’ll run cool as a cucumber 😉

Either way, it’s cool to see companies at least attempt new things, even if they aren’t ready for prime time.
