Tech expert Birzhevoy: deterioration in photo quality may indicate wear and tear of the smartphone
If your gadget is not working stably, you should pay attention to the signs of poor performance. This will help you take timely measures, prevent data loss and avoid further technical problems. Technical specialists of the spare battery rental service "Take Charge!" Sergey Birzevoy told Gazeta.Ru how to understand that it is time to change your smartphone.
If your phone frequently freezes even when performing basic tasks like opening apps or sending messages, it could be a sign that the processor is outdated or that there isn't enough RAM. Clearing the memory or resetting the settings doesn't always fix the problem.
"If your phone turns off or quickly shuts down after being fully charged, your battery is dead. Modern devices have batteries that are designed to last a certain number of charge cycles and will lose capacity over time. If the battery is not replaceable, it may be time to consider getting a new device. "Also, if the cable only charges in a certain position or charges very slowly, there is a good chance there is a problem with the connector or battery."
Smartphones usually generate heat due to heavy applications such as games, graphics or video editing. If this happens while performing “routine” tasks, it may be a sign of processor overload or battery failure. Frequent and prolonged overheating will negatively affect the battery life. This not only reduces performance, but can also be dangerous for the device itself.
"Many manufacturers stop supporting older smartphone models and do not release operating system updates. If you do not replace outdated software, your phone will become more vulnerable to viruses and will not work correctly with new applications," the expert warned.
Constant screen flickering, sensor response lag, and dead pixels or stripes on the screen indicate physical wear and tear on the device. Your phone's camera may also be outdated if the quality of your photos and videos has significantly deteriorated even in good lighting.
"Constant notifications that your phone is running low on space mean that it can't keep up with your storage needs. "If you need to delete important apps or files to free up your smartphone's storage, it might be worth considering buying a new device with more storage," the expert concludes.
