In general, most electronic devices have their lives. Actually, the lives of the electronic device are determined by various factors, including the way you are using it. For example, major mobile phone users change their devices every 3 to 4 years on average, and this number differs according to different brands and models. Even for the same model, some users could keep their mobile phones running smoothly for a long time, while others may feel their mobile phones getting slower or laggy. What is the root cause of this issue? In this article, we will illustrate some bad habits that may damage your mobile phone.
Using The Mobile Phone Inappropriately Will Shorten the Life
When we use our mobile phones, we may potentially damage the hardware without knowing it. In this section, we will demonstrate some of the bad habits that will shorten the life of the mobile phone.
Poor Charing Habits
Many people still insist on continuing to charge after a full charge (or charging overnight), even though this does the most damage to the power board. In fact, charging your mobile to a 100% level will suppress the battery capacity and thus may affect the performance. Moreover, some users will not charge their mobile phones until the battery level is at an extremely low level. Research has proved that over-discharge may have disastrous effects on the battery, particularly high-current over-discharge or repeated over-discharge on the battery has a greater impact! After discharging the stored capacity, the voltage will reach a certain level, and over-discharge will happen if the discharge is not stopped in time. According to the manufacturer's suggestions, keeping the charging level from 45% to 75% will maintain the health of the battery. Thus, using a suitable charger is recommended. At the same time, wireless chargers are invented to make it easier to charge. Moreover, using a wireless charger will save the users from breaking the charging cable. For example, users could try an iphone wireless charger because it is convenient to lay the mobile phone directly on it.
Hazardous Environment
Mobile phones are made of metals and plastics, but they will still be damaged physically. When a mobile phone drops from a high position, the screen can be broken instantly (even if you put a protector film). Thus, to protect their mobile phones, some users try to put a plastic case to cover their phones, despite there being users who prefer to keep their mobile phones ‘naked’.

Conclusion
In conclusion, handling a mobile phone in a better way will extend the life of it. It is recommended that users get rid of harmful charging habits, including fully charging the battery, charging overnight, and over-discharge. Instead, keeping the charging level from 45% to 75% will protect the battery. Furthermore, keeping mobile phones away from hazardous environments is also significant. It means that users should avoid exposing their mobile phones to an extremely hot or cold environment, and try not to charge the mobile phones when they are hot. Finally, using covers will decrease the risk of breaking the mobile phone.
