Your phone gets hot when you're streaming because it works really hard. Imagine your phone is like a person running on a treadmill, the harder they run, the more they sweat. When you watch videos or play games, your phone’s brain (the processor) and its energy source (the battery) are working extra hard, so they get hot.
Examples
- Your phone becomes hot while watching a movie because it is working hard to show you the video.
- Playing games turns your phone into a warm handheld device due to all the moving parts and bright screen.
