Be cautious of your mobile devices overheating in the summer, as this affects their performance, slows them down, and shortens the battery life. There are many incorrect practices that can increase the temperature of smartphones during the summer, such as using the phone while charging and running resource-intensive applications. Other causes of smartphone overheating are highlighted by Mohamed Antar, a technology editor at Sky News Arabia, during his discussion on the program "Sabah." He confirms that high smartphone temperatures can significantly affect battery performance and considerably reduce its lifespan. If overheating recurs, this may affect the battery's ability to hold a charge, leading to a notable decrease in its charge retention and potentially being a primary reason for phone replacement.
When buying a phone, most people first focus on camera features, with battery life coming second in terms of importance. However, this is different for those who use their phones for work and need longer battery life. It is crucial to exercise caution and care for mobile phone batteries during periods of high summer temperatures. Antar offers some important tips to combat smartphone overheating to prolong battery life:
- Avoid charging the phone while walking to prevent exposure to high temperatures.
- Refrain from plugging the phone into the car charger immediately upon entering the vehicle; it is advised to wait until the interior temperature lowers.
- Do not use the phone while it is charging.
- Using a protective case can trap heat between the device and the case, which may lead to overheating; it is recommended to remove the phone from the case for better ventilation and to reduce heat buildup.
- Do not place the phone in the refrigerator when it overheats, as this can damage the device.
- Activating airplane mode effectively reduces battery consumption, thereby lowering temperature.
- Avoid using applications that consume large amounts of power for extended periods.
