With smartphones increasingly adding processing power and packing large batteries with fast-charging technology, users often face situations when their smartphones over heat during certain tasks. This may be during charging, playing/recording 4K content or while using heavy apps.

Though in most cases overheating is a hardware issue, there are also some tips that you can follow to ensure that your smartphone does not overheat.

Keeping the smartphone in a cover case traps the heat emitted out of the handset and so removing it can help reduce overheating to some extent.

Many of us leave our smartphones for charging overnight.

Keeping the smartphone on charge overnight not only affects the efficiency of your battery in the long run, but also heats up the device.

There have been cases where smartphone batteries have exploded due to overcharging.

While charging your smartphone, keep it on a hard surface instead of on a bed or a sofa which absorb heat.

As during charging, the heat emitted gets trapped inside and warms up the smartphone even more.

There are some apps which are a drain on both processing power as well as graphics, such apps too heat up the device.

These apps play in the background and add to the processing power's drainout. This excess of processing power results in overheating of the device.
Avoid direct sunlight

Users can also prevent handsets, especially ones featuring plastic back panel, from heating up by not keeping them under direct sunlight.

The heat coming from the sunlight along with all the processing power running in the background are bound to heat-up your smartphone.
Third-party chargers and batteries

Some third-party chargers and batteries too are responsible for heating up of smartphones.

Not only batteries, but chargers with different wattage too heat up the smartphones to some extent.

Sony CyberShot DSC-HX350 Bridge Camera Critic Rating 4.0 /5 Top Features * 50x optical zoom * Full manual controls * Plethora of modes & photo effects DSLR cameras are almost universally considered as the holy grails of digital photography, and rightfully so. But while they are the preferred choice of seasoned lensmen, amateur shutterbugs generally like to start off with the much-simpler point-and-shoot cameras. But what if you fall somewhere between the two? What if you've mastered the basics of taking photos, but are yet to get comfortable with things like interchangeable lenses and full-frame sensors? You need what is called a 'Bridge camera'. Also known as prosumer cameras, bridge cameras, as the name suggests, bridge the gap between point-and-shoots and DSLRs. This essentially means that they come with some advanced features (e.g. full manual controls) found in the latter, while retaining the overall simplicity of the former. Modern-day bridge...

OnePlus 6 specs sheet leaks 23 MARCH 2018 Several days ago  a leaked image , comparing prices of different flagships, suggested $749 (around €610) price tag of the OnePlus 6 with 256 GB. Today more specs leaked, including the chipset, RAM storage, and dual camera setup. According to the listing,  OnePlus 6  will sport a 6.28” AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2280 x 1080, which unsurprisingly is the same panel as on the  Oppo R15 . The SoC is expected to be Snapdragon 845, though, with its CPU clocked at 2.7 GHz. The rear camera of the OnePlus 6 is listed as 16 MP + 20 MP with an f/1.7 aperture on both lenses, which is exactly the same setup as the predecessor OnePlus 5T. The selfie snapper has been boosted with a 20 MP sensor behind an f/2.0 lens. Next to storage, we see 6 GB + 128 GB, which would be a combo we haven’t seen since the  OnePlus 3T , introduced 1.5 years ago. OS is listed as Android 8.1, most likely with Oxygen OS on top (or Hydrogen...

AMD’s Ryzen 5 1500X and 1600X reviewed: Taking the fight against Intel to the midrange market shares Facebook Twitter Google Plus Reddit Hacker News Roughly five weeks ago, AMD launched its  Ryzen 7  processor family. While the new chips are extremely powerful, they’re not particularly cheap. Today, AMD released its new Ryzen 5 midrange CPU family, aimed squarely at Intel’s desktop Core i5 and Core i7 SKUs. Can AMD pull a win out of its hat two months in a row? AMD is launching multiple Ryzen 5 processors today, from the Ryzen 5 1400 (quad-core, SMT, 3.2GHz base, 3.4GHz turbo) to the Ryzen 5 1600X (six-core, SMT, 3.6GHz base, 4GHz turbo). We have two of the new parts on-tap today — the Ryzen 5 1500X, with an MSRP of $189, and the Ryzen 5 1600X, with an MSRP of $249. Details on the two chips are shown below. Like Ryzen 7,  Ryzen 5  is aggressively targeting Intel’s price points and market position. At $189, the 1500X offers SMT, a featu...
