Smartphone blast is the term of which we all must be aware. In most cases, the smartphone blast happens due to battery damage or overheating.

There must be another reason too but most of the time all the faults were pushed towards users. And recently all of you had heard the news of OnePlus Nord blasting four to five times.

Brands rarely take responsibility for that but am not saying every time most of the time brands used to cool down the case by giving some insensitive to the user.

The main problem is to worry that nowadays smartphones are very close to us we carry them everywhere. They are now an important thing in our lives and play a vital role for us.

In 2021 these smartphone blast cases were much more in comparison to previous years. So I thought of this and to make you aware so here we will discuss the reasons as well as what can we do to prevent this from our end.

Mainly there are 3 factors first what is the reason for the blast secondly how do brands make this your fault and lastly what can you do to prevent your smartphone from the blast.

 

What is the reason for the smartphone blast?

 

As said earlier there are several reasons for a smartphone to blast but mainly it happens due to battery explosion. Some of us think due to heat yes up to some extent it is.

Another reason may be overcharging or charging overnight but that will be partially true because there is some protection in the circuit board which prevents overcharging.

But if we ignore that or it fails then it will surely be a reason to blast a phone. With that another reason can be using a local charger which will be catastrophic for a smartphone battery and in the end can be a reason to occur a blast.

Another thing which from my end is not a reason or if it is then its probability is very low which is external pressure like falling in the ground or pressure due to tight pants. But as for my experience, this reason for a smartphone blast is very very low.

 

What could be the reason from brands end for a smartphone blast?

 

In this market, there are so many types of phones brands that are releasing different types different form factors. And all the brands have to make their smartphones slim some have to make that slim from another brand. Even if some have to make their phones slimmer than a pencil.

The reason they provide is to make them comfortable but the question is only making a smartphone slim is the only reason to make them comfortable.

There are different ways to make them comfortable and running in the race for the slimmest title they don’t leave a place for heat to dissipate and which can cause a blast.
And with that in the name of the environment, they are removing chargers from the box which is not a valid move. If you are selling a smartphone then the charger should be included.

This is now only in flagship but over time it will come to mid-range and budget segment too. And a person who is buying a 10k phone will always go for a cheaper charger and indirectly that will affect the battery occurring a blast.

The main reason that in the race for releasing a new product every 2 to 3 months brands were completely ignoring software optimization and also using cheap components to control the price due to the competition.

With the lack of software optimization and poor components, the smartphone is very much prone to a blast because it can’t control the heat by itself and safety features didn’t work properly.

 

What can you do to prevent your phone from a blast?

 

You must have seen some brands advertising their product doing 2 works simultaneously like game and charging. But when they do so they don’t use a heavy or bulky case for that which prevents heat from escaping.

Nowadays there is a trend for gaming on smartphones and so many esports are organizing too.

Due to heavy gaming and poor optimization of the software or lack of cooling leads to a blast too.

There are several things you can do to prevent this from happening.
While charging your smartphone always remember to remove the cover to prevent unnecessary heating. 

Always try to ignore charging while gaming or charge the phone first then play.
When doing heavy work if your phone heats up a lot then try to stop them for some time until the phone cools down then continue. 

And while charging your phone always avoid keeping in from direct sunlight, under a pillow, or anyplace where it will heat up and there will be no way to pass that heat from the smartphone. 

Try to keep your phone as cool as you can and if felt any unnecessary heating then without wasting any time take your phone to nearby customer care and fix the problem ASAP. 

All things are in your hand to prevent your phone from a blast but there should be strict checking of every smartphone before release. 

Brands should focus on the quality of their product instead of quantity. And strict action should be taken against the brand if such things happen to their products.
