Using a cheap charger

Try to connect only the original charger to your smartphone.

Has it been lost or broken for a long time? Then buy the most suitable and high-quality replacement!

A cheap charger can be very bad: it is possible that such a device simply will not withstand the load.

So don't skimp when buying a new charger.

Using damaged cables

If there is any damage to the cord, then it is not in vain to use this device when charging a mobile phone.

Don't take any risks: buy a new cable. Of course, it should be of good quality.

Charging smartphone on a soft surface

Do not leave your phone connected to the network on your bed or sofa.

An even bigger mistake would be to place a charging gadget under the pillow.

In this situation, the risk of the device overheating and starting a fire will seriously increase.
