With Indian summers reaching an all-time high, it’s not just you feeling the heat but your smartphone too. Prolonged exposure to heat can degrade your phone’s battery, throttle its performance, and cause it to lag or stutter. If your smartphone is getting too hot, here are some tips and tricks to help you keep it cool. This is unavoidable sometimes, but try to avoid using your phone for long periods in direct sunlight, as it can quickly overheat. If your work requires you to use your phone in the sun, reduce the brightness slightly or use it in the shade. Most modern smartphones can charge from 0 to 100 per cent in under an hour, with some achieving this in just a couple of minutes. While fast charging is convenient, it also generates a lot of heat. If your phone is getting hot during charging, try removing the back cover to help dissipate the heat and reduce the temperature to manageable levels. Smartphones can heat up significantly when playing video games for extended periods, especially outdoors or in hot rooms. To prevent overheating and extend your phone’s lifespan, play games indoors or in air-conditioned rooms. New phones can reach incredibly high brightness levels, with some flagship devices offering up to 6,000 nits brightness. However, this high brightness can quickly raise your phone’s temperature. While some phones automatically adjust display brightness to prevent overheating, if your phone is still getting hot, manually reduce the screen brightness to keep it cool. Many of us place our phones on the car’s dashboard and use apps like Google Maps to navigate. However, with phones exposed to direct sunlight and navigation apps using sensors like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, your phone can heat up significantly. To avoid this, place your phone next to the AC vent when driving or keep it in a bag or pocket while riding your bike. Keeping your phone in your pocket is convenient, but it can cause it to operate warmer than ideal due to minimal air circulation. This effect is exacerbated on hot days. To prevent overheating, take your phone out of your pocket and keep it in an open area whenever possible.
The USA vs Ireland match was cancelled due to a wet outfield, resulting in both teams receiving one point. This led to the USA advancing to the Super 8s and Pakistan being eliminated from the T20 World Cup.
