Is Your Smartphone Overheating This Summer? Here Are Some Essential Tips To Keep It Cool!

As a heatwave sweeps across Odisha and temperatures soar, people are trying everything to stay cool.

However, the excessive heat is also affecting tech equipment, causing gadgets like smartphones to overheat.

This can lead to mishaps, such as explosions. Here are six tips to keep your gadgets cool this summer:

Limit your smartphone usage, especially when you are outdoors, as usage can generate more heat.

Avoid exposing your phone to direct sunlight, as it can damage the device if it cannot handle the heat.

Refrain from keeping your phone in your inner pocket, especially while on the move, as your body heat combined with the device's hardware can cause it to overheat. Instead, keep it in a pocket where it would not be affected by body heat.

Never use your gadget while it is charging, and always avoid charging in a rush. Never wait until the battery level is low before charging, and do not let it reach full charge. Keeping it at 80 to 90% charge is ideal.

Be cautious about leaving your phone in the car, especially when it is parked under direct sunlight. The device can heat up and develop severe issues over time.

Remember, if you are not using your smartphone outdoors, it is best to turn it off.

Many phones display a heat warning popup when they are overheating, indicating it is time to move the device to a cooler place and refrain from using it until it cools down.
