What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

        Downloading games from Steam and binging through a few TV shows because I had a free trial of Apple TV+.

        I don’t play online games, so I don’t care for low ping and the speed is usually fine.

        You also have a ventilation pad for your phone to keep it cool while it’s serving that data traffic?

          Lol, surprisingly my Xiaomi doesn’t heat much even when I have my mobile hotspot turned on.

            When I’m downloading a big game off Steam, mine gets pretty warm. I bricked the WiFi module of an older phone through that. Better safe than sorry.
