Please help.

My brand new fold 4 device has issue with heating. While playing games, while camera is open.

I cant even keep video recording more than 2 minutes, phone heats like burning iron.

I use plastic tranperent back case.

Similarly, my friend face the same. We bought phone together.

Hello, We understand how frustrating it is when your phone is overheating. 

Whether you're using a phone, tablet, smartwatch, or earbuds, all Galaxy devices have a set temperature range, where they operate at their best. While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues. Give this link a try: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00076952/ You can also try clearing the cache partition of the phone.

  1. Turn off the device.
  2. Press and hold the Volume Up key, then press and hold the Side key.
  3. When the green Android logo displays, release all keys ('Installing system update' will show for about 30 - 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
  4. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
  5. Press Side key to select.
  6. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Side key to select.
  7. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
  8. Press the Side key to restart the device.

A final troubleshooting step would be to factory reset the phone. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/
