Why Do Smartphones Feel So Hot When You're Using Them?

Smartphones get hot because they're working really hard. Just like when you run and your body gets warm, smartphones do a lot of work, like playing games or watching videos, and that makes them feel hot to the touch. The more they work, the hotter they get, especially if they’re not cooled down.
