The owners of modern smartphones have to deal with overheating of their devices on a daily basis. Resource-intensive games and applications only contribute to the heating of gadgets, and despite all modern technologies, the compact case does not allow to accommodate an active cooling system.
The material of the smartphone body plays an important role in heat transfer. Users whose gadget has a metal cover find themselves in a better position. Plastic is not capable of dissipating warm air currents from heating components as efficiently.
The use of all kinds of silicone covers also disrupts heat distribution and accelerates overheating.
When choosing a smartphone, specifications can tell you about the prospect of overheating in advance. Gadgets powered by energy-efficient chips such as the Qualcomm 600 series are pre-designed for fairly high performance, but with little heat dissipation. Devices with a more affordable price, as a rule, are equipped with an MTK processor and cannot boast of great performance in modern games.
After 15 minutes of playing, weak processors and graphics chips noticeably heat the case, the smartphone starts to slow down noticeably and there is a possibility of damage to the battery. For his part, the user can reduce the heating temperature by optimizing some background processes and following simple recommendations:
- Try not to use your smartphone while it is charging
- Close all background applications and processes before starting games
- Do not leave the device in direct sunlight
- In the settings, check the box next to "limit background processes"
- Do not use silicone covers
- Reboot your smartphone every 2-3 days
