This matches my experience and the general consensus I’ve seen online. The 6 series had major overheating problems. Later generations get noticeably warm but not so much that it causes serious problems.
G1 and G2 got hot. G3 less so, and G4 seems to be doing pretty good, though it does get warm at times, especially when loaded.
The G4’s thermal profile kinda reminds me of my old Nexus 4’s Snapdragon S4 Pro. I loaded that bitch down and watched it soar over 100C many, many times 😅. I undervolted it so it ran a bit cooler. It was truly the perfect device at the time.
Ultimately it comes down to your personal experience. There are going to be people who shit on everything that isn’t a top-tier Snapdragon. Don’t listen to them. I wouldn’t even worry about benchmarks for mobile CPUs - at this point, those are only for people who want to shove it in everyone else’s faces.
Hey there. I am planing to buy one. But wanted to know some things
My Pixel 6 Pro overheated often. So far my 9 Pro hasn’t, but it does run warmer than my wife’s Samsung.

One month in (Android 16 QDPR whatever beta) all good!
