As the temperature rises in the summer, it's not just your body that's cooking in the sun, your smartphone is probably warming up quite a bit too.
What causes mobile phones to become hotter during the summer?
Firstly, when the phone is in use, the CPU, memory, battery, and other components generate heat. The heat can only be dissipated through the phone's body. Prolonged use of high-power applications leads to an increase in the phone's temperature, which is a normal phenomenon.
Secondly, in summer, the outdoor light is intense. To ensure clear screen visibility, the phone's screen brightness automatically adjusts, resulting in increased power consumption and heat generation.

Tip 3: Preventive Measures against Phone Overheating
Tip 3: Preventive Measures against Phone Overheating
  • Avoid placing the phone on bedding or blankets that impede heat dissipation.
  • Regularly clear background apps that are not in use.
  • Keep the phone away from high temperature and direct sunlight.
  • Avoid using the phone while charging whenever possible.
Occasional heat generation during phone usage is normal. However, if your phone significantly heats up during idle or light usage, please restart your smartphone. If this issue persists after restarting it or letting it rest, it’s a good option to back up data and have professional diagnosis and maintenance by visiting any HONOR Authorized Service Center nearby with the purchase invoice. You can also apply for Postal Repair service via official HONOR service website or My HONOR app.
