Why Do Smartphones Get So Hot When You Use Them?

Smartphones get hot because they're working hard, like a tiny engine inside your phone. When you play games or watch videos, the brain of the phone (called the processor) works really fast and gets warm, just like when you run and sweat. The battery also heats up because it's trying to keep everything powered on.
