When the thermometer hits over 30 degrees, you need to not only take care of yourself, but also pay attention to your smartphone. Sergei Kuzmenko, director of Roskachestvo’s Digital Experience Center, told Prime what not to do with it in the heat.

One of the main rules is not to leave the phone exposed to direct sunlight. Extreme heat causes damage to internal components, screen delamination, and a sharp decline in device performance. At this moment, the display matrix is threatened: it fades away.
Also, don’t forget your smartphone in the car. If there is no air circulation, the device will quickly heat up, which will have extremely sad consequences.
The expert recommends using only high-quality accessories. This also applies to chargers. Non-original cables and adapters cause batteries to overheat.
Make sure you charge your smartphone properly. To do this, you should put the charger in the shade, close all applications and lock the screen. It is better to use “charging” with a lower current and limit the charge level to 70-80%.
Kuzmenko also does not recommend activating power-intensive functions. When it’s hot, you should turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS if you’re not using them. It’s also not worth playing games with high graphics.
To cool down your device, you just need to use it less. The quickest way to wake up your device is to turn on Airplane mode. It is also designed to manually limit background processes and temporarily stop using power-consuming functions. At the same time, it is not necessary to cool your phone in the freezer – the temperature difference will only make the situation worse.
