As soon as the summer season arrives, mobile phones start getting more hot. As the temperature rises, the performance of the device is also affected. The main reason for this is the ongoing processing in mobile, activity of battery and combination of external temperature.

Smartphone battery and heating connection

The mobile phone has a lithium-ion battery, which is heated during charging time and the use of heavy apps. When the temperature of the external environment is higher than before, this heat increases further. “The ideal temperature of the smartphone’s battery is between 0 ° C to 35 ° C. Batteries outside it can be damaged quickly.” – Tech expert

Gaming, Video Calls and GPS – Summer Main Castle

Playing games for a long time, making video calls or using GPS navigation increases pressure on the phone processor. This generates heat in the phone. In summer, these processes produce even more heat because there is no coolness in the atmosphere that can balance the device.

Heating measures to prevent heating

  • Do not use phone in direct sunlight
  • Keep heavy apps off at the time of charging
  • Keep the phone on a cold surface
  • Turn off background apps if not needed

Can the phone burst in summer?

The phone can be too hot to be too hot. If the battery is unable to tolerate high temperature, then the possibility of explosion increases. Although such cases are very rare, vigilance is necessary.
