Samsung forum users have experienced the Galaxy Z Flip 3 overheating when using Android Auto or while playing games. It seems this is not an isolated incident. Other users have reported the phone getting hot in the area under the camera when playing graphically intensive games like Call of Duty: Mobile.

And possibly more worryingly, some users have also reported that the phone gets unusually hot while doing basic things like making calls or browsing the web. This could be due to the Snapdragon 888 processor, which gets quite hot as compared to the previous processor, or it could be due to apps.
