Why does the phone get hot?
There are many electronic parts inside the phone, such as processor, battery, display and memory. When the phone does any work, electricity is used in these parts. It is normal to generate some heat from using electricity. If you understand in simple language, slight heating of the mobile is a routine work.

For what reasons can a mobile become overheated?
1 Running heavy apps or games
If you play high-graphics games for a long time or do heavy work like video editing, there is more pressure on the processor. This can increase the temperature of the phone.
2 fast charging
Nowadays many phones support fast charging. The battery may generate more heat than normal during fast charging. This is the reason why the phone may get a little hot while charging.

3 Use of phone in sunlight
If the phone is used in bright sunlight or left inside a car, the external temperature can also cause it to heat up quickly.
4 running too many apps at once
If multiple apps run continuously in the background, the processor keeps working continuously. This can also increase the temperature of the phone.
5 Software or battery problems
Sometimes a glitch in an app, old software or a deteriorating battery can also cause overheating.
