– Limit the power of your Android smartphone
Enable low power mode from Settings > Battery
– Put it in airplane mode
Turning the phone off will suspend the power flow, so the phone needs to return to an acceptable temperature.
– Choose 4G over 5G
Since the speed of 4G is much lower than 5G, the smartphone will tend to heat up less than when downloading on 5G.
– Avoid uncertified chargers and cables
A charger that is too powerful can wear out the battery. It may also not have all the safety features (electronics and software) of an official charger. An undersized cable, especially during fast charging, can cause overheating, damaging the charger and/or phone.
Apple’s recommendation (also applies to Android phones):
- “ [Eviter] Leaving your device in the car on a hot day. » The inside of a car can literally become a sauna. In an hour, the temperature of a car can rise from 60 degrees in a white car to 80 degrees in a black car! iPhone will not be able to be refreshed. This is even more dangerous if the device is charging.
- “[Eviter] Leave your device in direct sunlight for long periods of time. » UVA and UVB rays from the sun can damage the screen as well as the battery or internal components. A simple piece of paper on the screen can reduce heat absorption and protect your iPhone.
- “ [Eviter d’] used[er] Some functions, such as tracking GPS or navigating in a car in hot conditions or under direct sunlight for long periods, playing a graphics-intensive game, or using augmented reality applications. » Real-time geolocation on your iPhone after playing video games (Google Maps, route guidance applications, etc.) places a heavy load on the battery and screen.
