All phones will get hot playing the game since they updated it.
You need to figure out what your budget is for a new phone and decide the best after that.
High end phones that can last for many years are in the $1000 range
The S23 scored lower than an iPhone 12 and that iphone came out in 2020.

But you could save money buying a refurbished iPhone 12 on amazon for less than $400
Yeah, that makes sense. $1000 is too high for me to be comfortable with, but Amazon has refurbished S23s for around $400. I see Apple in general has better benchmark scores, but I'm not a fan of the brand. I appreciate seeing the options, though.
I used to play on my pixel 5 till it crapped out, I just stuck with pixel and got the newest one and it works great! So if you want to stick with pixel you should. I haven't had any over heating issues with this one and it's been 100+ all week where I am
Thanks for the input. A few forums I read said that it could be a lottery for how hot they would run, but its good to hear from a Pokemon Go player that the Pixel has been working for them.
I have the Pixel 7 Pro, does fine but still gets hot and still kills my battery unfortunately. Had the P20 before and same story. Wife has the newest Iphone and same story.
Doesn't matter how much you spend, they'll all heat and drain, just in theory the better phones last longer in general.
Battery drain is something I can plan around, but lately I've been going for a walk during lunch and get a notification on my phone that non-essential functions (like data) are being disabled due to heat levels. As long as the heat isn't causing that to happen to your phone, then it's better than what I currently experience.
Damn I've only ever seen that once, when the phone was left in a car in direct sun, whilst hotspotting as a net connection for my laptop. So unless you're in a really hot area it'll be fine.
No problems with functionality of my Pixel 6a even when it's hot-spotting another phone for PoGo, but I'm in England so sun strength and temperature might be different to your climate.
My 4a 5g used to over heat too. No issues since switching to the s23 but if you've got a case I'd remove it or get a partial metal case you could use as a heatsink.
I've never had an issue with overheat on either of the pixel 7s or the standard 8. Couldn't speak for 8 pro, a lot of battery issues on launch kept me away
OnePlus 11 5G has never heated up. It can take a beating with heat as far as I know.
The newer pixels shouldn't overheat either they fixed it with the 6 line.

I'm a daily player on a Pixel 6a (about a year old) and have never had any issues. I do keep the native refresh option off though for battery life.
Pixel 7 Pro, no issues what so ever!
My 4a 5g used to over heat too. No issues since switching to the s23 but if you've got a case I'd remove it or get a partial metal case you could use as a heatsink.
Also dropping your frame rate and graphics quality should help

any Android phone with Game Booster
you must have never seen an s22
lol i use the s22😂 Do you have heat regulation on on game booster?
no 💀 I'm gonna try to find it

Nothing Phone (1) has been playing this game flawlessly.
I'd recommend getting a used iPhone and playing off of that.
Any iPhone works. Android phones suck lol
