Why Do Some Phones Overheat While Others Stay Cool?

Imagine your phone is like a superhero who fights villains (like apps and games). Every time the superhero fights, he gets hotter. Some phones have good cooling powers, so they don’t feel too hot, but others are like superheroes without cool gear, they just get sweaty.

The Cooling Power

Phones use something called heat management to stay cool. It's like wearing a cape that helps you sweat less while fighting.
