Every phone I assess is rigorously tested, including benchmarks to stress it. These tests are intended to push the CPU and GPU to the maximum, resulting in heat buildup. As the phone gets hot, the system will slow down its processors to prevent excessive heat from causing damage. I've encountered instances where phones failed to complete these stress tests due to excessive heat, leading them to shut down to prevent damage. This can occur when there isn't adequate cooling.

Modern phones perform well under normal workloads unless you reside in an extremely hot climate or leave your phone in direct sunlight on a scorching summer day.
