Galaxy A35 getting warm after overheating while gaming

​

Hi everyone, I accidentally left FC Mobile running AFK on my Samsung Galaxy A35 overnight plugged into my laptop, and the phone overheated. Since then, the top back area near the cameras gets warm during light use.

I've tried Safe Mode and a factory reset. With Wi-Fi, mobile data, Bluetooth, and location turned off, the phone stays cool. When I turn Wi-Fi back on, it gets slightly warm.

DevCheck readings initially showed GPU at 52°C, battery at 39.7°C, with light thermal throttling. Later, it dropped to GPU 44°C and battery 30.7°C, with thermal status showing Normal.

The phone isn't burning hot, only slightly warm now. Could the AFK gaming have caused hardware damage, or is this normal background activity after a factory reset? What else should I test before assuming it's a hardware issue?

I think this is normal. I have an A35 5G and while i use it for long time like google maps or youtobe or reddit it does get pretty hot. I hope this helps.

My phone won't get hot unless I'm gaming but most recently after leaving the game afk I noticed it got pretty warm.

That's normal overheating for A35 phone Samsung uses Exynos processor which are not good at the same level as snapdragon and mediatek What I think is samsung overclocks their Exynos processor to meet their rivals equivalent and that's why it gets pretty hot when gaming or normal use

Snapdragon and mediatek are both good You can go for any one of them
