Why Do Smartphones Feel So Warm in Your Hands?

Smartphones get warm when you use them because they're like tiny machines working really hard. When you play games, watch videos, or talk on the phone, the inside parts of your phone start to work faster and harder, and that makes it feel hot in your hands, just like when you run around a lot and feel warm.
