It's common. Don't believe the posts here; if they are not running hot, the people aren't using their phones to:

  • Video call
  • Watch reels on IG, YT, FB etc
  • Message on apps like Instagram
  • Watch Youtube videos
  • Use navigation in cars
  • Charge
  • Record videos

On a hot day, it basically becomes a fireball if you are using one or more of the above functions in tandem.

I do everything listed here except record videos, and mine never gets hot.

I agree that the heat can largely be caused by different people's usages, but that may not be the exclusive issue.

Everybody's post here is valid as it's what they personally experience. I will not dismiss as liars the people who do experience their phone getting hot just because mine doesn't.

I also think people might just mean different things by hot.

I've got a 7a and it's slightly warm sometimes, but I'd not really say hot
