I've noticed that whenever I charge my tablet or phone, the charger itself gets really hot. This is strange since the charger is fairly new. My tablet doesn't seem to heat up at all, so I'm a bit confused about what's going on. I've tried switching out the cables and chargers, but the problem persists.

Are you sure you're using the right charger for your device? Sometimes using a non-original charger can lead to overheating, especially if it's not designed for your specific model.
Different chargers are made with different quality components. Some have better heat management than others. It might just be that the chargers you've tried aren't designed to handle the load well, which is pretty common.
When you say "hot," what do you mean? Does it get so hot that it’s uncomfortable to touch? That can indicate a problem.
Yes, it definitely gets hot enough to be uncomfortable.
I've been using chargers that aren’t the same brand as my phone and tablet. They've always worked fine until now.
