Many people have a very dangerous habit: throwing their mobile device on the bed or sofa.

Users don't see anything wrong with this action.

They reason something like this: "Nothing will happen to the smartphone! The surface is soft! The mobile phone didn't fall on the asphalt!"

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Yes, furniture significantly softens the blow. But it does not make it absolutely safe for the gadget.

Why You Shouldn't Throw Your Smartphone on Your Bed

Even if dropped on a soft surface, there is a risk of damage to internal components.

The worst thing is that in this case the user will not immediately notice the negative consequences.

After all, the mobile phone will be outwardly intact, without cracks or other noticeable damage.

Only after some time will a person realize that the smartphone is not working “right”: it is slow, does not respond to all touches on the touch screen, etc.

The user is unlikely to associate these problems with the gadget falling on the bed a long time ago.

There is another serious risk. It is possible that soon after "throwing" the phone, the person will forget about the device left on the couch.

In such a situation, there is a high probability that the gadget owner will accidentally sit on the thing that belongs to him. The result will be the appearance of huge cracks on the screen.
