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)

I hated Samsung phones when I had them ~2019 because of One UI being so far behind Android as well as me getting constantly badgered to create a Samsung account to use the Samsung store so I can upgrade the built-in photo editor even though I never had any reason to do so.

I didn't see any reason to complain about the hardware One UI ran on, though.

Would a pre-owned Microsoft one likely be better?

After looking it up, this is definitely not the Microsoft one. Has similar moulding to like, the first results on Amazon and AliExpress.

Where would I get higher quality composite cables from?

[–] zulc22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A composite cable, given to me by someone else. I don't see a brand.
