That green 5C was accidentally dropped into a saltwater fish tank. It wasn't in there for more than a few seconds, but the damage was done. Most phones can come back to 100% after taking a swim in freshwater. Saltwater is anothe story. It's highly corrosive and conducts electricity much better than freshwater. This phone is done for. Notice the amount of heat generated in some areas of the logic board. This is not normal. If your phone is getting hot after going in water, but "coming back to life", you should have it evaluated by a professional or risk damage to the phone and even personal injury should the battery leak or catch fire (both of which have happened before). Below is one of the more famous photos of an iPhone overheating and catching a car seat on fire. Do not ignore a "too hot to touch" phone - especially if it's been recovered from being dunked in water.
