Why Do Some Phones Stay Cool While Others Burn Your Hands?

Imagine your phone is like a person doing push-ups. If the person is strong and has good ventilation, they won't get too hot. But if the person is weak or stuck in a small room with no fans, they’ll sweat a lot, just like how some phones heat up. Some phones have special vents or materials that help them stay cool while others feel like a toaster in your hand.
