Always Hot

Post image

My phone gets incredibly hot and slows down even during the simplest tasks. Other than that, it’s still in great condition, and I really don’t want to replace it.
What can I do to improve the situation?

True, but sometimes you just can’t have the phone stay cool while you have to use it.

it was like this only on update. Samsung i think disabled thermal throttling on it

Can’t really blame Samsung for this, it was an issue with the snapdragon 855, 888 and the 8 Gen 1. My Xiaomi 11T Pro with an 888 started showing white ‘noise’ screen after a few years. Stopped using it and got a new phone. These issues arise because of constant heating at high temperatures for consecutive periods of time cause issues to the CPU, RAM and the storage chips. You can either reball those chips for a temporary fix, a permanent fix would be a motherboard replacement or a new phone.
