Nowadays smartphones have become such an important part of our lives that we cannot live even a day without it. But if your Oppo phone suddenly starts heating up more than necessary, then it can become a cause of trouble.
Whether you are playing games, making video calls or surfing the internet, the phone getting heated not only damages the battery but also slows down the performance of the phone.
Why does the phone overheat
First of all, it is important to understand that overheating is not only caused by hot weather. There are many other reasons behind it. For example, if you are running multiple apps simultaneously, playing high-graphics games or using the phone while charging, then all this puts a lot of load on the phone.
How to prevent Oppo phone from overheating
1. Do not use the phone while charging
This is the most common mistake. Playing games or watching videos while charging puts pressure on both the phone’s battery and processor. This increases the phone’s temperature rapidly. Try not to touch the phone while charging.
2. Close apps running in the background
Many times we lock the phone, but many apps keep running in the background. This keeps the processor working continuously and the phone keeps heating up. Close apps that are not needed by going to Settings or swiping up from the screen.
3. Keep the screen brightness low
A bright screen also increases the phone’s temperature. If you are out in the sun or running the phone on high brightness at night, overheating can occur. It would be better if you choose the auto-brightness option.
4. Avoid heavy gaming
If you play games for a long time, especially games like PUBG, Free Fire or BGMI, then there is a lot of load on the processor and GPU of the Oppo phone. This makes the phone hot. Keep the phone in a cool and ventilated place before playing the game and give the phone some rest after gaming.
5. Keep firmware and apps updated
Oppo keeps updating its software from time to time to fix old bugs. If your phone is overheating, check if there are any new updates. Also, keep updating apps from the Play Store so that they stay optimized and put less strain on the phone.
6. Cool down the phone by removing the case or cover
Sometimes the back cover of the phone does not allow the heat to escape. If you feel that the phone is getting too hot, remove the cover for a while. This will allow air to enter and the device will cool down quickly.
7. Stay away from third-party apps
Some third-party apps inadvertently consume more power in the phone and heat up the processor. Try to install only trusted apps and remove unnecessary apps immediately.
