Your Pixel’s 80% charge limit has a hidden power user benefit. Here’s how to use it

I have a bad habit of using my phone while it’s charging. Most of the time, you’ll find me playing Sudoku, my favorite game for years. I know it’s probably better to just leave the phone alone and let it charge, but that rarely happens.

And I’m sure I’m not the only one. Maybe you’re in the middle of a game, replying to work messages, or just need to use it for something important while it’s plugged in. The problem is that charging already generates heat, and using the phone at the same time can add even more of it — something your battery definitely doesn’t appreciate in the long run.
