Have the same issue. Just got the s21 ultra today and it gets hot within minutes of just flipping through the page. It's not really usable and will be returning it for sure.

Guys I haven't received mine yet but can you'll shut down
Smartthings
Chrome
turn off 5g if not available
and report back as these seem to be the offending ones atm for battery life and could be for heating up as well.

I've had that this morning. Had to use my s21 ultra to join a Teams meeting at work, video on etc picked up my phone to turn off my camera and the phone was incredibly hot. I worked in the phone industry throughout all Samsung releases and this is a first for me, Except the Note 7 fiasco a few years ago...I'll monitor it for now but you are right, 2 or 3 apps open and it goes in overdrive and heats up like crazy

So I now have 1: 1 installed both S21 Ultra 256 Gb, I did a few tests see. below. It looks like Exynosy will have a problem piece by piece, on Samsung forums it is full of similar problems as I noticed with a defective piece. I keep my fists so that everyone reaches for the right piece, and if they are unlucky, so that they don't hesitate to make an exchange immediately, it's a huge difference.
The new piece doesn't overheat me too much during 8K rehearsals and games (Company of Heroes, Grid, Total war, COD) hopefully it will last and I will be extremely satisfied. I note that I did the tests with fully restored backups and installed 150+ applications (transferred from the original Ultry via cable using a switch), the original Ultra was without SIM during testing, all battery savers set for maximum performance, WQHD + and downloaded latest updates. If anyone wants to make another comparison, I'll go back the faulty piece tomorrow night, until then I'm available.
