Phones get hot because they have a lot of things working inside them at once, like the screen, the camera, and the apps you’re using. Imagine your phone is like a kitchen, when you turn on the oven, stove, and microwave all together, it gets really warm. The more things work at the same time, the hotter the phone can get. If the phone is too hot, sometimes it will slow down or even shut off to cool down.
Examples
- Your phone gets hot when you play a game while charging it.
- Using your phone in the sun makes it feel even warmer.
- Your phone might turn off if it's too hot.
