In a bizarre and slightly comical incident (if you weren't the owner of the phone!), a Redditor claimed their friend's Samsung Galaxy S21 FE reportedly suffered a glue-melting thermal disaster while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The intense heat generated by the game apparently caused the adhesive holding the phone's back panel to give way, exposing the battery in a scene reminiscent of a budget sci-fi movie.

While isolated incidents like this are always possible, it highlights a very real issue with Warzone Mobile's current state on Android devices – it's woefully under-optimized. The game has a reputation for turning smartphones into pocket-sized furnaces, pushing hardware to its limits and sometimes beyond.
Let's be clear: it's highly unusual for a phone to suffer physical damage like this due to a game. However, it's a stark reminder that pushing your device too hard can have unintended consequences. While the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a capable phone, it seems Warzone Mobile can bring even powerful handsets to their knees.
The Reddit poster is correct in highlighting that this isn't an isolated phenomenon. There are numerous complaints about excessive heating and rapid battery drain associated with Warzone Mobile, particularly on Android devices. It seems the developers have some serious optimization work ahead of them. That said, be smart and maybe not continue playing if your phone is getting hot enough to fry an egg on it.
If you value the structural integrity of your smartphone, it might be wise to approach Warzone Mobile with caution. Until the developers address the game's thermal excesses, consider playing in shorter bursts or opting for less graphically demanding titles. Let's face it, no one wants their phone to imitate a self-destructing nuclear reactor.
