The purchase of a new smartphone is a great moment for everyone but there are certain steps to take to ensure you are protected your purchase. I was a phone engineer, and I frequently encountered the same issue of broken phones repeatedly which could be prevented with a small amount of effort. So, if you're planning to purchase one of the latest Galaxy S24 models, or you're just about to purchase one of the new models, such as an iPhone 15 or Google Pixel 8 Pro This advice is applicable to the device you're buying.
In the majority of cases, the lessons I've learned as engineer on phones focuses on the maintenance of the phone and making sure that you are using the best tools that are available to do the task. Let's take a look at the things is possible to do in order to maintain your brand new phone looking clean, shiny and functioning to the highest of its capabilities for as long as you can.
1.The first thing to do is purchase a case
It may seem rather obvious but you'll be shocked by the number of phones I've seen with none of a case and how many ended up being broken phones due to. The first thing you need to consider when buying a smartphone is to locate an all-body case that provides screen protection. If that's not feasible then you can purchase a case that will be affixed to the sides of your phone and purchase screen protectors separately.
It is recommended to make sure you look after the purchase of your case in the same way as the phone, ensuring that your phone will be able to move from the box into the case you've chosen. The reason behind this is easy: phones can be easily scratched and nothing more frustrating than one tiny scratch on your phone's screen before you receive the case.
A final point: the stronger the case, the safer the phone will be. If you're the type of person who loses objects easily (as people who has dyspraxia knows how easy it can be) make sure you buy the strongest case you can.I would suggest that you buy a genuine case if you can, or at the very least, an authentic case from a reliable source. Most people aren't aware the fact that screen covers could affect the touchscreen, making it appear slow and unresponsive. Additionally an unfit case can cause more issues than it resolves.
A quality case is created to be a ideal fit and their screen protectors typically cause the least impact on the screen in my opinion. I've witnessed a number of users complain about their screen malfunctioning but it turns out to be due to the cheap protective screen or the case that they purchased. This case's purpose is to shield your expensive phone, so believe me when I say that the price is well worth it.
Here is an extensive list of the top phone cases available for iPhone 15 and cases for the Galaxy S24 to start with and also guides for other models too.
2.Make sure you have the correct cleaning equipment.
The most common issue in smartphones is dust in the charging port, or on the speakers. It occurs to everyone, it is regular part of life. But, there's an appropriate way to deal with the issue, and a wrong approach being aware of what information you'll require can make the distinction between a minor inconvenience and a damaged phone.
If you've noticed the charger isn't fitting into the charging port in a proper way and the connection is constantly abruptly cutting off, then it's likely to be an obstruction. It's tempting make use of a pin or other device to get rid of the blockage however, you should resist the temptation. It's better to make use of a can of air since you're not likely to damage those charging pins. In addition, a toothbrush is perfect to clean the speaker without causing damage to their covers. Also consider investing in a soft cloth and remove the phone from the case to give it a thorough cleaning every now and then.
It is important to have the right equipment to do the job, because it will help you save time and money, while also making sure that your phone lasts longer than is possible.
3.Reduce the brightness, then keep the screen
The burning of screens is than minor issue in my experience However, I've seen it occur at times, and we'll discuss ways to prevent it. Screen burning happens when pixels on the screen of your phone start to dim and disappear which alters the appearance of your phone's screen. The effects can range from faded colors to burnt lines of pink in the display.
Screen burning is not a common issue these days, however it is still a problem for phones. The main reason is that you keep the phone's screen at full brightness. If you can lower the phone's brightness even a small amount it can help prevent the burning of the screen, at the very least for a short period.
4.Take care of and maintain the battery
One aspect of care for your phone which is often neglected is taking care of the battery in a proper manner. This isn't something that can pay dividends immediately However, the more attention you pay to the battery the longer it will last, and the longer before you need to purchase a new phone.
In the past it was considered to be an ideal practice to drain a smartphone's battery regularly to 0%, before charging it. However, it's not as efficient with modern batteries which is why it's more beneficial to keep them between 30and 70 percent. It is possible to leave your phone to charge overnight since most phones today are smart enough to maintain a steady of charge however, you can also buy a smart charger to avoid worrying excessively.
Make sure that your charger has the same power requirements of the phone. If your phone needs 45W of power and you are using a 25W then it will be slower and give less healthful charges.
5.Maintain the security and updates current
If you purchase a new phone, you'll typically be informed of updates to be made. I encourage you to upgrade every time your phone tells you that an update is available. These updates typically include security improvements. Download either the latest Android version, or iOS when they are released.
The phone makers are working hard to shield your device from all the threats they are able, however believe me when I say that it's worthwhile to invest in specialized software that will protect your phone. Antivirus software performs exactly as it claims on the box - it safeguards your phone against malware and viruses. In the end ensuring you have the right program can keep your phone running longer.
In that regard, it might be worthwhile to look into the use of a password manager to be sure you are getting the highest security you can get. The password manager covers all the basics by assisting in the creation of strong and diverse passwords. It won't aid in keeping the phone operating for long however, it will help protect your data and defend your phone from threats which is a good thing.
