Reasons why your smartphone gets hot

Ever had that experience where your smartphone gets so hot you think it’ll explode? You are eventually left wondering if it’s a phone issue, a battery problem, or if it’s just a sign you need to get a new device. The truth is, there are certain things that can cause that and there are things that can be done to prevent your phone from steaming up.

Here are some of the major reasons your phone gets really hot and what you can do about; Out-Dated Operating System This is one of the major reasons why your Smartphone over heats so much, let’s assume you are running an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system in 2017; where we have phones running on a 7.1 Nougat operating systems and applications such as Snapchat, Whatsapp among others are issuing app updates all the time. With such extra features, you are likely to experience your device getting hot once in awhile when you run the application. You should also know that some apps have been developed or updated to run on the latest operating system.

Several Background Apps
Another major problem with devices in this time and age is we tend to install any app that is said to be a trending, in the process, we find our devices filled with several unused apps. From my interaction with people, I have come to understand or notice that out of all the number of apps we install on our phones, we only use a handful of these installed apps leaving the rest accumulating space and background data on the phone. Ever wondered why your device memory gets filled up and gets hot unusually? Well, most people do a quick restart and it helps to a point, but the best advice would be to delete/uninstall any unwanted app to save both space and increase processing speed.

Nokia 9 leaks, has bezel-less curved AMOLED display and dual Carl Zeiss camera

Nokia 9 leaks, has bezel-less curved AMOLED display and dual Carl Zeiss camera

Nokia made a return with HMD, they initially released some mid-range smartphones, Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. The company recently dipped its toes into the flagship realm with the Nokia 8. The 8 might find a tough time competing with  other flagship phones which pack modern full screen displays and waterproof bodies. Well it seems things will change with the introduction of the upcoming Nokia 9 according to the new rumor.
It has been said that the Nokia 9 will have edge to edge, bezel-less display thanks to a curved AMOLED screen. The back is curved as well to make a seamless and ergonomic design. The rear shows a shiny copper-gold reflection which means it might be made of glass.
Nokia 9 Renders Leaked with 3D Glass & Rear-Facing Fingerprint scanner
On the back you get a dual camera, but since this is a Nokia flagship, the premium Carl Zeiss lens have been utilized. Chances are that one camera will be a monochrome like they did on the Nokia 8, but we will inform you once everything is confirmed. The screen details are inconsistent as well, some expect a 5.3 inch while others put it at 5.5 inches.
The processor is definitely going to be the Snapdragon 835 since its successor is yet to get into the market. Water and dust resistance will be supported this time round. Finally, the price has been said to be 750 euros which is significantly cheaper than the new iPhone X, LG V30 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, so that might work in Nokia’s favor.
