Should I worry?

Should I worry?

I got this phone weeks ago and while I usually am not interested in mobile gaming I decided to give a try to Arknights Endfield for the first time and after playing for a while and removing the phone from my Razer Kishi I noticed that it felt quite hot. I was using Bypass charge as I thought that it would keep the temps lower. The battery temperature was maybe 1-2 degrees higher when I stopped playing minutes before I took the screenshot. Should I be worried about faster battery degradation with these temps or is it normal for a gaming phone like this one?

Update: I decided to play where I left yesterday, same settings and connected through bypass charging as well and to my surprise after having played for maybe like hour the temps weren't as bad as yesterday's, had CPU temps around 50-55° and the battery was 38° C. What I think would be the cause of the overheating would be that:

  1. The performance mode was set to Pro Gamer without me noticing, I changed it to Balanced.
  2. I installed some other heavy games and while I exited them from their respective menus before opening Arknights, probably one of them got stuck running in the background. Will make sure to close them from the multitasking menu from now on.
