If you own a OnePlus smartphone, congratulations because you currently own a state-of-the-art Chinese smartphone which has high-end specifications within an affordable price range. With a high-end specification, it is prone to warm up when the user is playing a high graphics game or if he/she is using the phone for a prolonged period. Smartphones are literally smart as the SoC has a throttling mechanism that controls the energy being drawn from the battery to the various components and throttle it in order to keep the core temperature normal. But since there is a flow of energy when any software or hardware component is used, it generates heat which easily radiates out of the phone through vents and ports.
The problem starts when a smartphone begins to overheat. Users have reported the OnePlus overheating problem which may last for a few seconds to a long period thereby endangering the internal components of a delicate smartphone. It can result in white patches on the screen which may not go if its an OLED display. Similarly, the performance of a smartphone is halved if it is facing an overheating problem and that is why, it is said that you need to do certain things before, during, and after overheating problem that will help you eliminate the risk of overheating or bring down the core temperature of a phone before it hits that critical limit.
Reboot the phone
You are using your OnePlus smartphone and suddenly feel that it has started to warm up. Now, that’s normal since every smartphone has the tendency to warm up but there’s a limit. The moment you feel as if the phone is literally getting hotter than usual, you can actually turn off the phone. This method has several advantages such as it will bring down the core temperature of the handset, it will remove the strain on the battery and it will allow the phone to perform optimally because of which, experts recommend to reboot the device at least once a day. You can keep the phone turned off for a few minutes and disassemble it so that all the components can cool down independently.
Display settings
Every smartphone has its display settings where the user can tweak the wallpaper, screensaver, time to turn off as well as brightness settings. The user can tweak the brightness settings based on the time of the day since nighttime requires low brightness while daytime requires moderate to high brightness on the screen. The user can further extend the brightness settings by installing apps from the play store where you can also get a blue filter that takes the strain off your eyes when using the phone at night.
