1 Bought new iFixit battery-phone stays warm, drains fast.
I recently purchased a new battery for my iPone X. Every since I had it installed at a qualified shop because I had to have the screen replaced also, the phone stays warm when there’s no apps running, I can barely keep a charge for the entire day (usually having to plug it in early afternoon) since the battery drains fast, and I don’t always get a full charge when charging it wirelessly.
I’ve had this battery barely over a month and it’s been like this since day one. I’ve never felt my phone stay warm as if I were using the navigation features and no apps running. I’ve reset it and even put the phone in lower power mode. Makes no difference.
Using iOS 14.6

The battery might not be the issue if they replaced your screen with an LCD instead of the OLED type. I would contact them and confirm they installed an OLED screen.

BestBuy is where I took it because they're authorized by Apple to repair the phone and I only wanted to take it to wither Apple or an Apple authorized repair place. Original parts for this phone were used for this repair. I had this very discussion with techs while I was there waiting for my phone in order to make sure they use parts Apple allows.

@tangierc You could contact ifixit support to see if they can exchange the battery.
