Why Do Smartphones Stay Cool Even When They're Hot?

Smartphones have tiny invisible fans that help them stay cool. When you play a game for a long time, the phone gets hot inside, like when you run and sweat a lot. But these little fans work hard to blow the heat out of the phone so it doesn't melt or break. It's like having a personal air conditioner inside your phone.
