5 tips to protect your smartphone from catching fire

Your device's battery life may decrease if you constantly charge it. Stop charging the battery once it reaches 90% capacity. 

Avoid Charging For Long

Use OEM Chargers

Smartphones should only be charged using their manufacturer-approved accessories. The point isn't to make extra money off of you, but they also can't guarantee for the other chargers' reliability.

Just as with chargers, your phone's battery must be one that the company officially endorses for use with that model. Ensure there is no physical damage or deformity that might cause a battery leak or explosion. Timely replacement of a smartphone's worn-out battery is also crucial.

Always use OEM Batteries

Repair at authorized service centers

Smartphone repair businesses line the streets of India's major cities, but many of them are unofficial. Have your phone fixed only at an authorised service centre or an authorised third-party service centre.

Turn off the device and disconnect it from the power source if the battery becomes too hot to the touch, swells, or produces a hissing noise.

Recognize the red flags
