Phone heating is a significant issue seen in a low-end smartphones, but that doesn’t mean high-end phones do not spit heat ever. There are several factors on which overheating of a device depends, for instance, mobile processor, RAM, Battery health, Overusing while charging, high-end graphic games and apps, and many more factors.
The smartphone generates heat through its CPU and other electronic components. However, with the constraint of its size, heat can not be dissipated by fans like any other regular computer. When in use, the heat generated by its CPU, memory, and battery, etc. is passively conducted outwards through its body.
Many companies have come up with a range of phone cooling applications on google play store and apple app store, promising better performance and reducing phone temperature with RAM cleaners and CPU utilization monitor features.
Do phone cooling apps work?
A hot phone is never a good thing to have. That’s where these “Phone cooling apps” come in to take advantage of the opportunity. Generally, the so-called “Phone cooling apps” optimize your device by clearing the application running in the background.
“Phone Cooling and Performance Booster Applications” cannot improve the performance or cool down of your device. The software or an application cannot cool physical components like the CPU, these applications will further slow down your phones by consuming power and showing advertisements.
They also reduce the battery life and performance of your smartphone by running in the background. These days Smartphone manufacturers use copper, graphite, heat dissipation, and liquid cooling in their high-end phones to counter the heating effects.
Reasons your phone heating up
• Intensive Camera use
• Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods
• While multitasking (or, when running many apps in the background)
• Exposed to Extreme Heat
• Using compact case
• Poor Signal Strength
• Charging the battery with a damaged USB cable
• Device’s multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
What are the effects of phone overheating?
Very high phone temperatures can cause your device to respond slowly or to crash or restart. Prolonged overheating can accelerate the aging process of the device itself, shortening the lifespan of your phone. More seriously, though, continued prolonged periods of overheating may lead to potential security problems.
How to Prevent Your Phone from Overheating?
It’s normal for phones to get a little warm, particularly when charging it or using it for extended durations. Frequent overheating is not normal; thankfully, in many cases it is preventable.
