Many users on the social network Reddit have encountered this interesting headline. Notably, the malfunction has been observed in almost all versions of Google Pixel smartphones. These include the 7, 7 Pro, 6A, 6, and 6 Pro. Interestingly, the cause is a 3-minute video clip.
Google Pixel Smartphone Freezes When Watching YouTube
The source of the problem is a video clip from the classic horror film “Alien.” It is uploaded on YouTube in 4K HDR format. The issue does not affect smartphones from other Android brands. There is a hypothesis that incorrect processes related to high-quality video processing occur within the Google Pixel interface.
By the way, the problem on smartphones is only fixed by restarting the device. It is reassuring that the phone does not turn into a brick. The Google user interaction center has not yet commented on this issue. Most likely, all Google Pixel smartphones will receive an update soon.
