Google Pixel smartphone freezes when watching Youtube

Many users on the Reddit social network have encountered such an interesting headline. It is noteworthy that the failure of the gadget is seen in almost all versions of Google Pixel smartphones. These are 7, 7 Pro, 6A, 6 and 6 Pro. And it’s also interesting that one 3-minute video is to blame.

The source of the problem is a video clip from the classic horror movie Alien. It is presented on Youtube hosting in 4K format with HDR. And smartphones of other brands on Android cannot freeze. There is an assumption that in the Google Pixel shell itself, incorrect processes are occurring related to high-quality video processing.

By the way, the problem on smartphones is fixed only by rebooting the device. I am glad that the phone does not turn into a brick. The Google User Experience Center has not yet commented on this issue. Most likely, in the near future, all Google Pixel smartphones will receive an update.
