Summer, Sun, Smartphone Danger: Protect Your Phone and More from the Heat with These Tips

We all know it: the days are getting warmer again, and the swimming pool is calling. What most people can't do without on a trip to the cool water and while sunbathing is their phone or tablet. However, sunlight and high temperatures are extremely harmful to these devices. The specialist magazine "connect" has therefore published a small guide to ensure that a day in the summer sun does not end in a dilemma.

Avoid Direct Sunlight on Electronic Devices

If phones, tablets, and the like are in direct sunlight, the risk is high that they will overheat and shut down. Therefore, make sure that electronic devices have a shady spot. Protective cases that adequately cover the smartphone or tablet can also make a difference. If the device has already heated up, it is advisable to wait before charging it until it has cooled down again. The additional heat that can be generated when charging the battery can otherwise cause even greater damage.

The Danger Also Lurks in the Car

Caution is also advised if the smartphone is left in the car. Behind glass, for example, behind the windshield, the heat exposure is greatest. Therefore, it is best to turn off devices as a precaution and store them in a protected place to avoid a total failure.
