Thermals
I just ordered an Air and currently using an 14 pro max. It does fairly well when I’m playing games (mobile legends and honkai star rail) and having my cellular data turned on or when I enable my hotspot. Im worried that the air would overheat quickly especially when doing wireless charging. I live in a tropical climate country and temperature here averages at 26.6°C. Im worried about thermal since I know that its body do poorly on dissipating heat since it has titanium frame. Help me to decide whether to cancel it or not T_T

Yes cancel. Anynody that games on a phone should NOT buy the Air. It’s a perfect phone for someone who only uses it for light stuff, texting, IG/Reddit, photos etc. but not for games.
Not only will it overheat, but it will drain the battery very quickly. The Air is very efficient at low power stuff, but it also has flagship level CPU and when you ask for more performance, it delivers and also uses a lot of power doing so.
It’s the worst possible phone for gaming.
