Tech experts share tips on preventing smartphone overheating
In a recent article by Inquirer Tech, the focus was on keeping water away from smartphones. Now, the discussion shifts to preventing mobile devices from overheating.
Even though smartphones are an integral part of daily life, they are still susceptible to environmental factors like extreme heat and water damage. Such conditions can impact the performance and lifespan of your phone.
To avoid overheating issues, experts recommend several methods. Firstly, keep your phone out of direct sunlight and away from hot spots like a car’s dashboard. Charging your phone in a cool environment is also crucial as the charging process generates heat.
Using your phone while it’s charging should be minimized, and running too many apps simultaneously can strain the processor. Experts suggest opening apps only when needed and closing them when not in use.
In case of extremely hot weather, removing the phone case temporarily or using a thermal case to regulate temperature can be beneficial.
Signs of smartphone overheating include discomfort in holding the phone and slow performance. Experts caution that while phones have built-in measures to prevent excessive heat, these mechanisms may activate too late to prevent damage.
Lastly, experts emphasize the importance of protecting your phone from frequent exposure to high heat as it can have long-term effects on performance and battery life.
