Pixel Flashlight Burns Phones?

Owners of the Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are encountering an alarming issue where the flashlight module may sustain damage from overheating. Reports indicate that leaving the flashlight on for extended periods has led to the module burning or melting.

This problem is particularly concerning because the same LED module serves as the camera's flash. While only a limited number of users have reported this phenomenon, and some instances might be misidentified marks on the glass, photographic evidence suggests genuine damage is occurring.

Users experiencing these overheating problems are advised to avoid prolonged use of the flashlight. The advice extends to other Pixel models and potentially other smartphone brands as a precautionary measure.
