Hi guys,
I'm using miui 8 from a couple of weeks now and I noticed my mi3 gets hot very often and very fast.
Right now battery temp is at 50°C under charge, but it gets hot also when I watch some YouTube videos or listen to music using Spotify.
I rarely play games.
Gps is always off, I turn it on only when I need Maps.
Auto brightness is on and set to minimum.
Using Chrome seems to heat up the phone as well.
What can I do about this issue?
I'm downloading 7.5.2 ROM to see if I can reduce this heating using a stable.

I received my first Xiaomi phone yesterday, the Redmi note 3 pro.

I updated to MIUI 8 straight away, and when I am using the phone for things such as playing games, it does get rather warm towards the top end of the phone.

I think in general, some heat is to be expected as after all, we are essentially carrying around a small PC, which has no fans or cooling like a PC does.
I would expect it to get warm when doing things such as watching videos and playing games, but at rest I would expect it to be fairly cool.

Does the phone get hot when idle, or only when in use and being charged?
