Phone heats when using it outdoors

Update Time: 2025-04-02 17:20:36

Common outdoor usage scenarios:

1. Use phones to play games in hot outdoor weather;

2. Use your phone to watch videos in hot outdoor weather;

3. The phone is placed on the bracket in the car for navigation, the car is hot, and there is sunlight that can illuminate the phone;

4. Charge the phone while using it outdoors.


Cause of the problem: When the phone is used outdoors when the outdoor temperature is high or the phone is exposed to direct sunlight, the surface temperature of the phone will also increase due to the influence of the ambient temperature, which will cause the phone to heat up. Also, with high outdoor brightness, the phone screen will trigger brightness to automatically turn on the sunscreen function, which will increase power consumption and heat. If your phone is running high-power applications at the same time, multiple heating factors may overlap, which may cause your phone to heat significantly.

 

1. Try to avoid using the phone while charging

When you have a travel plan, it is recommended that you use the original adapter and data cable to fully charge the phone in advance.


2. The screen brightness is too high

You can turn off the automatic screen brightness function and manually adjust the screen brightness to an appropriate screen brightness to reduce power consumption and heat generation. 

Operation method: Pull down to turn on the notification center > click the capital letter A to cancel the automatic brightness, and then manually drag the brightness bar to a suitable brightness.

3. Use high-power apps for a long time

Using high-power apps for a long time will increase the heat. You can clear infrequently used apps in the background, reduce the running power consumption of the phone, and reduce power consumption and heat.

 

Recommendations: 

1. Go indoors to use your phone

When you use it outdoors for a long time, the power consumption and heat will increase to a certain extent. This is a normal phenomenon, and it will recover when you go back indoors.

2. Use the cooling back clip

If you need to use the phone outdoors for a long time and cannot improve the use environment, you can also use the realme cooling back clip to help cool the phone. The realme cooling back clip adopts electric wind dual-effect technology to continuously cool down and keep cool for a long time.
