Some countries are experiencing anomalously hot weather. During such conditions, smartphones and other electronic devices face the risk of overheating.
Russian cyber expert Alexander Tokarenko spoke about this in an interview with KP.ru.
He identified four main signs of overheating. First, the screen brightness decreases or changes automatically. Second, apps open slower than usual. Third, a warning message about critical temperature appears on the screen. Fourth, the device body becomes uncomfortably hot to touch.
Tokarenko emphasized that smartphones are designed for household use and are not built to operate in extreme temperatures. Do not leave your phone in direct sunlight, in a car, or on a windowsill, even for five minutes.
He recommends using wired earphones during long calls in hot weather. Additionally, remove cheap plastic cases to avoid hindering cooling and reduce exposure to harmful substances.
The expert warned against trying to cool the phone using "folk methods." Putting a hot phone in the refrigerator or submerging it in cold water is strictly not recommended, as sudden temperature changes can damage internal components.
