Google Pixel 2 users reporting device heating and battery life issues after February update
Looks like the Pixel 2 February update has brought along some major issues. A lot of users, both at Reddit as well as Google's own forums, are complaining about their units getting warm (even with normal usage) and battery draining comparatively faster.
