I've been playing Brawl Stars on my Samsung A16, and I've noticed it gets really hot after just one match. I'm wondering if this issue could be related to my phone's storage or memory?

It sounds like the overheating is more about the phone's hardware than storage or memory. The Samsung A16 isn't exactly built for heavy gaming, so that could be a factor.

It's likely the processor causing the overheating. If your storage is completely full, that can make it worse, but it's really the performance of the device that's the main issue.

Honestly, the A16 isnโ€™t the best for gaming. It struggles with more demanding apps, which likely explains the overheating.

Most of the time, overheating is due to the battery. How long does your charge usually last?

I have a similar phone, and I've read that the Mediatek Helio G99 has a bug that can lead to overheating during games like Brawl Stars.
