In Delhi, Narela recorded the highest temperature at 46.6 degrees Celsius, closely followed by Najafgarh at 46.3 degrees Celsius.As summer temperatures rise, so does the risk of your phone overheating. A majority of phones can't handle extreme heat, which can lead to sluggish performance and even permanent damage.Here are some simple tips to keep your phone cool and running smoothly all summer long.A super bright screen means more heat. Since direct sunlight can crank up the smartphone's screen brightness -- making your phone work harder and hotter -- try using the phone under shade as this will lower the brightness to a comfortable level, especially when outside..Take breaks from demanding tasks like gaming or video streaming. This gives your phone a chance to cool down and prevents overheating.Background apps can drain your battery and contribute to overheating. Close any apps you're not actively using. When you don't need data or calls, you can switch to Airplane mode to reduce background processes, which in turn, can keep your phone cooler.Cases protect your phone but they can also trap heat. Consider using a slimmer case or going case-free for a while, especially when charging. Don't use your phone while it's charging as this creates extra heat. Also, avoid using cheap or damaged chargers.If you are working indoors, do not keep your phones in areas near windows where sunlight falls directly. Similarly, when driving a car, keep the phones away from keeping on the dashboard where direct sunlight falls.
