Little heating is normal with any phone or tablet (both Android and Apple iPhone). There is nothing serious to worry about. But overheating of a mobile phone and battery draining fast is a serious problem and needs immediate attention before the phone gets dead.
A phone may suffer overheating under the following situations:

Mobile Phone Overheating and Battery Draining Fast – Problem and Solution.
If you charge your phone up to 90% or 100% and the phone gets hot without you doing any heavy task then the following could be the REAL problem. These solutions apply to any brand including Samsung, Nokia, LG, iPhone, Micromax, Motorola, Xiaomi (Mi), Oppo, Lenovo, ZTE, China mobile phones, etc :
- There is half-shorting in the PCB of the phone. Half-shorting means that some supporting Small components, generally near the battery connector, has become faulty/short. These small electronic components are generally SMD capacitor but it can also be an SMD diode or SMD resistor. To fix the problem, you have to remove the faulty component. If it is a capacitor then it is NOT compulsory to replace it with a new one. But if it is a resistor or a diode, then it must be removed and replaced with a new component.
- If the phone overheats and won’t Turn ON, then there is a full short in the PCB of the phone. Full Shorting means that some major IC has become faulty and needs repairing or replacement.
Phone Heating Up While Charging
In such cases either the battery (If removable) is lose, there is a fault with the battery or the battery connector needs to be replaced.
