I've had it play a 4K YouTube video for 2 hours. And now I've been recording a video for 20 minutes. It hasn't crashed, the screen still on..... I'm trying to get it to die again to prove I wasn't going crazy.
I think what this tells me is the phone was bricked due to a firmware issue, not a hardware issue. And the factory reset got it into a good state.
That's super concerning. A pixel 5A is breaking itself is very scary. The forums for Pixel 5A call it a motherboard issue, but this feels like a firmware issue instead
Was the phone exposed to rain? Could be some droplets that got through some crack and which have now dried out (beware the rust though in that case). I can't think of anything else honestly. However your idea of stress-testing is good, I'd also try to run a bunch of benchmarks on it.
