Hi all! I have been playing heavily Pokemon Go on my Samsung Z Flip 5, and at times it smells like burning plastic. I am not sure if I am overheating the phone regularly, or if it has a battery leakage. I runned phone diagnostics of the battery, and everything seems normal... 

 
Either or, should I get the phone checked for any potential leakage/explosion? Or is the phone simply overheting and needs a cool off every once and a while? 
 
Thank you!
