This problem is gaining more ground as the smartphone industry is coming out with devices option of the higher battery capacity of 4000mAh and more.
One of the reasons behind overheating could be also because of the hardware problem. But we can follow a few precautionary measures and get the problem fixed.

4. Do not charge your smartphone overnight
Many of us leave the phone to charge overnight, it is a bit common among all of us. This will heat up the handset and in long-run also impact the battery.
5. Delete apps that exhaust the processing power
There are several apps that keep running in the background which exhausts the processing abilities of the smartphone. This also causes overheating of the mobile. So, it is advisable to delete such apps from the handset.
6. Avoid third-party chargers and batteries
