Welcome to Android Central! Do other parts of the phone get hot, like the back?

It's likely that some component on the motherboard (like the CPU) or the battery is the overheating, and you're noticing the Power button get hot as well since it's a metal component and can conduct the heat easily. It's possible the drop caused some kind of damage that is leading to this overheating, so you may have to bring it to a repair shop.

Does it also happen in Safe Mode? https://www.hardreset.info/devices/infinix/infinix-note-7-lite/safe-mode/
