Ok we got it its the best cooling smartphone out there , what happens when the fan is full of dust and particles? You have a brush which i doubt it will make the job done if you dont open the phone , maybe that's why they give 2 years of os updates...

I haven't updated my phone for 6 years Phone updates don't matter,but security updates matter more.Unlike apple with frequent updates,but secretly lowers battery and performance each update.
