I phone 12 gets hot and battery drains fast

While avoiding the obvious items that would cause a spike in temperature, my i phone 12 still gets really really hot whether it’s plugged into wall power or not plugged in. The battery seems to drain fast as well and it also charges very slowly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

iPhone 12 Pro
