How to protect your phone from cold damage in winter?

Arab Weather - The German newspaper "Die Welt" explains that the smartphone battery, especially the one made of lithium, loses its efficiency in low temperatures or with sudden weather changes.

For example, some phones are designed to only withstand temperatures between zero and 35 degrees Celsius, which means that anything below zero or above 35 degrees will negatively affect battery performance.

How to protect your phone from cold damage?

In this context, the German magazine "Philo Gnossie" offers eight tips to protect your smartphone from the effects of cold weather:

1. Cover your phone well: It is necessary to keep your phone warm in cold times, as the cold affects its battery, which may lead to malfunctions or reduce its efficiency.
2. Avoid exposing the device to large temperature fluctuations: Avoid moving the phone between places with sudden temperature fluctuations, as moisture can collect inside the device and cause damage to it.
3. Charge the battery in a warm place: It is preferable to charge your phone indoors or in a place with a moderate temperature, as this provides your device with optimal power and maintains the health of the battery.
4. Avoid water and moisture: Put your phone in an inside pocket or a protected place in your clothing when going out in cold weather to avoid exposing it to water or moisture.
5. Warming the phone: If the battery has lost its efficiency due to the cold, try warming the phone gently, but without exposing it to direct heat sources such as ovens or heaters.
6. Turn off your phone when needed: If you are in a place where there is no good signal reception or you are out of coverage, turn off your phone to save power and protect it from battery drain.
7. Use a good phone case: Using a good protective case can help prevent damage to your phone if it falls. Some cases also offer additional protection against water.
8. Choose a phone that's suitable for working in harsh conditions: If you use your phone regularly while working outdoors, you can choose a phone that's specifically designed to work in harsh weather conditions, such as withstanding low temperatures and high humidity.
