Smartphone Safety in Summer: How can a smartphone kept in your pocket in 45°C-47°C temperature become the cause of a major accident? Why is it becoming dangerous to keep the phone in the pocket or leave it on the dashboard of the car while riding a bike in this scorching heat? What should be done and what not to do to keep your precious phone safe from this big danger of mobile overheating, battery blast and screen damage?
Smartphone Overheating Prevention Tips: The sun is blazing fire across the country. It is extremely hot from Delhi-UP to Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The temperature in Banda, Uttar Pradesh has crossed 47°C. While humans are in bad condition in such severe heat, the smartphone which is in your pocket 24 hours a day is also overheating. When the outside temperature is touching 45-47 degrees, the phone’s battery starts boiling inside. Due to a little carelessness, the phone may overheat and explode or become dead forever. If you want to keep your phone safe this summer, then change these 3 habits of yours immediately.
1. Keeping the phone in jeans or tight pocket while riding a bike
In this season, when you ride a bike or scooter in the sun, the heat and hot wind directly hits your body. Jeans or any tight clothing does not allow air to pass in and out. When you ride in 45-47 degree heat, your body heat combined with the extreme heat outside makes your pockets as hot as an oven. On top of that, if the phone’s data is on, the battery temperature reaches dangerous levels. In such a situation, instead of keeping the phone in the pant pocket while riding a bike, keep it in your bag or keep it at a place where direct sunlight and body heat do not fall on it.
2. Leaving the mobile near the car dashboard or mirror with direct sunlight
Many times, while parking the car or driving, we leave the phone on the dashboard of the car or in the mobile holder, from where direct sunlight falls on the screen. The temperature inside a car parked in the sun becomes double that of the outside. The battery of a phone kept on the dashboard inside a closed car can become so hot within a few minutes that it swells or causes a short circuit. Therefore, never keep the phone inside the car in a place where direct sunlight is coming. Always keep the phone under the seat, in the glove box or in a shady place.
3. Continue gaming, watching reels or charging even when the phone heats up
It is normal for the phone to get a little hot during summer days, but when the phone starts getting very hot while holding it in the hand, then it is the biggest foolishness to keep using it even then. In the midst of extreme heat, if you are playing games, recording videos or continuously scrolling reels while charging the phone, then both the processor and battery of the phone generate heat together. Due to this, the phone may hang suddenly, the screen display may blow or the battery may explode. Therefore, as soon as you feel that the phone has become hotter than usual, immediately remove its cover (case). Turn off the Internet, Bluetooth and GPS and keep the phone in a cool place (like under a fan) for some time. Do not put a hot phone in the refrigerator to cool it even by mistake, this will damage the phone from inside forever.
