It happened in the car last time, and I can remember it happened with different types of cover. It also happened while I was running a VR video. It doesn’t happen too often of course but I don’t remember this happened with my cheap android phones ( 150$ or so) and I don’t understand why

Car could be the heat - VR video could actually be quite intense if the resolution is high. Your cheap android phone probably doesn’t even have the power and brightness to begin with so it doesn’t need to throttle.
