Smartphones get hot because they’re working really hard. When you play games or watch videos, the phone uses a lot of power. It’s like running around in the sun, your phone gets tired and warm. The battery and screen are especially busy, so they heat up first.
Examples
- Your phone feels hot after playing a video game for a while.
- Your phone warms up when you use it in direct sunlight.
- The back of your phone gets warm when you watch a long movie.
