The dreaded Delhi Summers are beating down with vengeance and that means your gadgets are going to get fried. Well, you can avoid such mishaps as long as the devices are used judiciously and their charging patterns are tweaked to keep their temperatures at a manageable level.

The biggest concern when a smartphone heats up is that its performance takes a hit, especially when you see the battery drain out quicker. But like everything else in life, if you follow these useful tips daily over the next few weeks, your smartphone will remain stable, cool and not reach panic levels of heating.

Top 5 Tips To Keep Your Smartphone Cool This Summer

Keep away from sunlight: The first thing you should do is avoid your phone from being in contact with direct sunlight. The levels of heat in the Summers can be brutal and phones can easily get damaged if you leave it under direct sun for a long time.

Avoid phones in the pocket: If you are moving around and plan to keep the phone inside your pants pocket, chances are your body temperature coupled with the device hardware will push the levels of the device which is not good. Ideally, keep it in a pocket so that the phone doesn’t come in contact with your body heat.

Be frugal while charging: Phones tend to drain out battery quickly if the temperature shoots up which also happens when you put it for charging. We recommend you to charge the phone in batches rather than in one-go to avoid the device from overheating. You might want the phone to be fully charged but even going up to 80 percent is not a bad call.

Don’t leave your phone in the car: It goes without saying that leaving phones in the car is a recipe for major disaster, especially if it is parked under baking sunlight. The device will heat up and face severe issues in the long run.

Just turn it off: If you are looking for a reason to take a detox break from your phone, the best thing you could do is just turn it off for a while. We get that people cannot operate without their phones these days and that’s mostly true but still even a 15-20 min snooze time for your daily companion would do a world of good. After all, it is just a handheld computer that also needs time to refresh.
