Since buying my CMF 1, I have never seen this device go over 34-35°C—mostly because I don’t play games or run demanding apps, and partly because it’s cold as hell here. It’s 12°C outside today and 15-16°C inside the house.
But for some reason, the phone is heating up so much that I had to close all the apps and turn it off in fear that it might explode. The area near the camera module feels like an oven—it’s around 44-45°C. That’s definitely not normal for a phone that has never gone past 34-35°C in the last two months.
I’m still using the same charger and the same apps, which leads me to believe the processor was running at a higher clock speed, couldn’t handle or close something in the background, and ended up causing the device to overheat.
It’s only been two months, and this is like the 50th time this phone has pissed me off. I genuinely regret buying a Nothing phone, and I’m tired of complaining and constantly sending bug reports.
