A smartphone that becomes warm occasionally is usually not a reason to panic, but a device that repeatedly becomes very hot while sitting unused may be worth investigating.
One possible reason is background activity.
Applications can synchronise information, download updates or use location services even when they are not visible on your screen.
A weak mobile signal can also cause a phone to work harder as it attempts to maintain a network connection.
Charging naturally produces some heat, particularly when the phone is being used heavily at the same time.

Another possibility is an application consuming unusually high processing power in the background.
Checking your battery settings can help identify which applications are using the most power.
You should also pay attention to the charger and charging cable. Damaged or unsuitable charging equipment should not be ignored.
If your phone becomes extremely hot, develops a swollen battery, produces an unusual smell or repeatedly shuts down, stop using it and have it checked by a qualified technician.
A little warmth is normal.
Excessive or repeated heat is not something to simply ignore.
