Dirt can gather in the nooks and crannies of your smartphone, and that could interfere with the device&#8217;s proper heat dissipation. Smartphone cases that are more about looks and less about functionality could also cause the phone to heat up faster.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Environment. Blaming global warming is exaggerating it, but the temperature of the surrounding environment does affect the internal temperature of smartphones. Try to keep your phone in the shade when you&#8217;re outside.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Consuming battery power. Activities you do on your smartphone that drain the battery quickly can cause excessive heat. Examples: continuously browsing the Internet on mobile data, the phone constantly searching for better coverage because of poor signal quality, and multiple apps and processes running in the background. Also, avoid using your smartphone while it&#8217;s charging.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c0\">Overclocking. As processor speed increases through overclocking, so does the processor temperature.
