Why Do Smartphones Feel So Warm in Your Hand?

Smartphones get warm because they have little engines inside called batteries, and when you’re using them a lot, like playing games, watching videos, or talking on the phone, these little engines work really hard. They work so hard that they make heat, just like how your body gets warm when you run around.
