Regular updates, key to longevity
Managing updates is crucial to the well-being of your smartphone. Kewin Charron, innovation expert at Back Market, highlights the importance of these updates: “ Updates to the operating system and applications are essential, because they optimize the phone’s consumption and facilitate certain uses.. » Ignoring these updates may cause slowdown and reduce the efficiency of the device.
The art of charging your smartphone: between 20% and 80%
Contrary to popular belief, leaving your phone to charge overnight is a mistake. “ The battery, remaining at 100% for several hours, degrades quickly », explains K. Charron. It is better to favor short loads, thus avoiding overheating. Recent smartphones adapt their charging to your routine, thus avoiding overcharging.
Extreme temperatures: an underestimated danger
Weather conditions can severely impact your phone. Exposure to extreme heat or freezing temperatures will damage the battery and internal components. Recent devices incorporate protection mechanisms to adapt to these variations.
Battery monitoring: beyond 100%
The percentage displayed is not always representative of the actual state of your battery. “ A capacity below 80% means a poorly performing battery », specifies K. Charron. Features built into smartphones allow you to check battery health, providing a more accurate overview of battery wear.
Fast charges: practical but detrimental
Although tempting, fast charging puts additional stress on the battery, accelerating its wear and tear. “ It’s better to opt for slow, wired charging », advises K. Charron. Induction systems, although modern, can also be harmful in the long term.
A cracked screen: more than an aesthetic inconvenience
A damaged screen can lead to more serious problems, such as moisture intrusion and degradation of internal components. It is advisable to avoid contact with water and repair cracks promptly to avoid irreparable damage.
By adopting these practices, you not only help extend the life of your smartphone, but also reduce your ecological footprint and your technology expenses. A thoughtful and responsible approach that benefits everyone.
