Can you define "a LOT"? By the very nature of battery recharging, it is only natural for some heat generation, as I'm sure you are aware.
But as this phone has fast charge capabilities, it is expected to get warmer than we may be used to.
Luckily though, as it charges quicker, the heat generation is short lived, and you don't have to worry about it being hot all the time while plugged in (unless you are using it at the same time), as the charging will drop in potency and cool down.
If you are concerned though, I suggest that you rest your phone on a hard, cool surface while it charges. Not something soft, like on your bed.
If your phone gets too hot to touch though, you may want to head back to the shop

close apps, stop using the phone, let it charge. problem solved.
By a lot i mean significantly hot its difficult to keep on the ear but this happens only while charging when the phone is below 80% and the HOTNESS which i am talking about is generated after the phone is about half an hour on chargeing and between 30-705. i just wanna know if it is normal or not. The phone gets warn on usage but HOT on charging!Can you define "a LOT"? By the very nature of battery recharging, it is only natural for some heat generation, as I'm sure you are aware.

I was reading a link another member posted on battery technology, and it said that when batteries are pretty empty to critically low, they charge on a higher current, and then when they start getting "fuller" they start to drop the recharge rate. I can't remember much of the detail now, but from a technical view point, it is standard behaviour to heat up like "that". If you still want to use your phone a lot while it is charging, you could try seeing how another charger works for you. Because it will charge slower and thus, create less heat.
keeping on power save reduces the heat and doesnt drop TOO much performance and double battery so thats a round about for me!
power save still gives 4k geekbench and 50000 antutu so pretty good just a slight bit of bearable lag which you wont notice easily!
thanks happy to know my phone is normal!
Hey last night I plugged in my s6 for charging at around 18 % after 40 min my phone was at 84% but with a whopping temp at 44 deg celsius. I was terrified as phone was hot as hell. Later by reaching 100 it dropped to 39. My phone never goes below 33 deg and average temp is 36-37 deg without any heavy usage with heating near chrome edges. I am scared as samsung is not offering me replacement and they say your phone is safe until 48 deg. Should I be worried??Can you define "a LOT"?

If the manufacturing days 48°C abs toy haven't reached out you should be OK. Is this battery temp, processor temp, or surface temp? 44° is high, but not to bad if out is processor temp, if it is battery temp it is a little concerning, but add long add it doesn't stay that high much it shouldn't effect much. If it is surface temp it is a big concern add that is to high.
The above is my opinion, based on my knowledge of batteries and computer processors. Basically though if samsung days it's good I imagine it is good.
As a matter of fact, here is a start teens got from my phone. Not charging or anything.
