Samsung S25 Phone Link (Windows 11) & USB Tethering on 32" ViewFinity
This is what I was talking about when I said I need all my devices having their OS integrated: I'm opening multiple phone apps via Phone Link. And My Samsung S25 is connected to my Ideapad 5 Pro 16ACH6 in USB Tethering mode (WiFi modem at house is turned on, but it seems like I'm on the edge of the functional network radius that my laptop needs my phone to transmit the data). You can see on the Phone Link panel that I got my phone WiFi radio turned on.
Battery protection for S25 is turned on (max. 80%).
While working, I've got my phone covered in Airocase (it has holes on the surface) and phone cooler attached in the phone back. Ringke case is used outside working sessions due to the denser material and military-grade drop test that the case passes.
Unexpectedly, as Thermal Guardian visualizes on the interface, the temperature of the phone happens to be cool - even it sits around the recommended one. CPU manages to handle the tasks effortlessly, as its usage stepped down.
FYI, the screen casting is done to a 32" monitor, along with other Windows apps.
Besides helpful for mitigating the unexpected technical situations, I'm impressed that the phone manages to excel on this area with ease.
