Why Do Smartphones Stay Cool Even When You Use Them a Lot?

Smartphones have a special way of staying cool even when you use them a lot. Imagine your phone is like a cozy room, and the heat from all the things you do, like playing games or watching videos, is like someone turning on a heater in that room. But the phone has little fans inside it, kind of like tiny air conditioners, that help carry the heat away so the room (or phone) doesn’t get too hot.
