We all love our smartphones because they make our lives so much easier. However, there are important safety tips you must follow. One crucial tip is to never use your phone while it is charging. Covering your device with your body, clothing, or mattress while charging can also be very risky.
This is because there is a possibility of your phone catching fire.
For instance, there was an unfortunate incident involving a young boy from India whose hand got severely injured because his phone exploded. It’s believed the explosion was caused by increased radiation due to a low battery.
Many people think that mobile phones emit more radiation when the battery is low. But the real issue isn’t the low battery; it’s the weak signal.
This means that when your phone has a weak signal, it works harder, producing more radiation. Therefore, it’s best to avoid using your smartphone in places like elevators, remote areas, or other buildings with poor signal.
In the case of the young boy, he was using an unofficial, unauthorized Chinese charger.
Using such counterfeit chargers can expose you to the risk of explosions and potential injuries.
Even major companies like Samsung advise against using unauthorized chargers for your phone because of these risks.
So remember, it’s not the low battery causing phone explosions. Stay safe by using officially recommended chargers and avoid using your phone in areas with weak signals while it is charging.
