Hey there everyone. I am new to the Nothing line of products and just started using Nothing phone 3a 128GB 8 Gi RAM for more than a month. Ever since that I have been taking note of its thermals during different usages. Because I do not watch the smartphone market much and only change phones every 3 or 4 years, I am not sure if to rule these out as normal
The apps used for monitoring are Thermal Monitor and DevCheck
I also used an external IR thermo to take surface temp readings
Although above temps are mostly warm, below are the scenarios with charging, which is when the phone gets hot
While Charging
The battery was always charged from somewhere in 20% upto 80%
The charging readings were taken across different power outlets at my home
The reason for switching the chargers was, the Nothing 45W charger itself was reaching very high temperatures during charging. Have listed that below as well
Apart from the one time fall the charger experienced at a hand's height on the desk, the charger seems fine and does not have any damages or rattling noise of any sort. This is my first time using a charger over 25W. So are the above temps normal for such 45W chargers?
I had come across Nothing's support link, but it just seems to be an info doc on the causes of heat and remedies
Some opinions on this, regarding the phone and the charger itself are very much welcome as it will help me get a better idea of what to do. Both of them were fresh and bought together.
Thanks a lot!
