Testing Android Auto on the Galaxy Tab A9 in extreme summer heat

Finally by 12 noon, the temperature reached 44 degrees. The car was chilling 24.1 degrees (Auto AC set at 24).

Testing the Tab at 44 degrees for temperature and battery - 22-05-2024

Had to go on a short leisure trip to Noida and the Tab was well-tested in the extreme blistering heat that North Indian summers can throw at you -

Started from home at 10.41 am at 34 degrees -

38 degrees at the Expressway. Zero visibility issues -

Finally, by 12 noon, the temperature reached 44 degrees. The car was chilling at 24.1 degrees (Auto AC set at 24). The nice fuel efficiency of 11.8kmpl on this trip -

Tab and Android Auto worked flawlessly with zero lags -

Finally reached our destination at Noida -

Safely parked in the underground parking. Left the Tab as it is, no power off -

Enjoyed at Imax -

Got some 'Gyan' on Irish diplomacy at the bar

Started back home around 6.30 pm. Temperature still hovering in the high 40s in this long rush hour traffic. The car was chilling at 25~26 degrees with music blaring through Spotify on the car's stereo -

Finally reached home around 8.30 pm hearing the 'Cult of Snap'. Ambient Temperature is still at 37 degrees. Return FE was 10.5kmpl due to heavy traffic -

The battery was still at 58% with a full day's usage without charging. It was last charged 12 hours 47min ago, as is evident in the photo. So I easily foresee a 10-hour screen on time without charging, with this Tab -

Zero issues whatsoever. And really thankful for the increased visibility on this higher screen size than a typical phone.

Cheers...
