A week ago I bought my POCO X8 Pro and I noticed that it gets hot after using just basic apps for 10 minutes. When I'm playing games, it gets to the point that it feels like it's burning my hands and becomes uncomfortable to hold.

The battery temperature after normal activities reaches around 40°C, and while gaming it goes over 48°C . For context, I use the phone in normal room temperature, mostly with the stock case on.

At this point, I'm considering returning the phone and buying a different one. Are these temperatures normal for this model, or did I get a defective unit? Should I keep it or just return it?
