Why Do Smartphones Get So Hot?

Smartphones get hot because they work really hard. When you're playing games, watching videos, or taking pictures, the phone uses its brain (the processor) and its eyes (the camera). This makes it feel like your phone is running a marathon inside your hand! The heat comes from all that activity.
