Samsung A33 overheating

[KimHaz]

I've had my A33 for a year, no problems. In the last week or so it's been overheating. Have it on battery saving (have since I got it )
Does anyone have any idea why this suddenly started happening ?

Welcome to Android Central! How's the cell signal? Poor cell signal is a common cause for overheating, since the phone has to work harder to stay connected.

Go to the Battery section of your system settings -- are there any apps that are using an inordinate amount of battery? Also turn on the option to show system usage -- any system processes that are using a lot of battery?

Welcome to AC!

Check device care app or Samsung members app they should have diagnostics to look over

I would recommend you to do a factory reset. Also, it is a myth that reducing the CPU frequency makes it use less power. Instead, it makes the CPU work harder and reach 100% usage more often and use more battery. You also know that more power consumption = more heat generation. So, if you have "Limit CPU speed to 70%" enabled under Power saver's options, disable it. Also, before doing a factory reset, check your phone for bloatware, and uninstall any if present. Then post about your results here again.

it can happen from using an incompatible charger, or bad usb cable
