They start summer holidays. Vacation time by the sea or in the mountains, frolicking in the camps or going to the swimming pool around the corner. Nowadays, such activities almost inevitably include smart mobile phones, which, in addition to the ability to call and write, also serve as a camera, navigation or multimedia device to kill boredom. Summer is also the season when it is higher chance of damaging or losing the mobile phone completely. Here is a list of five typical threats that you should eliminate as much as possible as a precaution…
Water
Too much water can be a big danger for mobile phones (especially those that don’t have enough IP protection, but even the highly certified ones don’t have guarantees). Careless handling of the phone near the pool, the sea or during water sports can lead to water damage. Problems can be caused not only by the liquid itself, but also by its acidity, saltiness or substances such as sunscreen.
Overheating
Mobile phones can overheat in summer temperatures. Leaving the phone in direct sunlight or in a hot environment, such as a closed car, can lead to overheating and damage to components. The battery suffers absolutely the most in this regard. If the phone has any protection for high temperature cases, it can for example limit system performance or interrupt charging.
Don’t you have a mobile phone in a case? You should consider using it for summer
Effective protection against a lot of mechanical enemies of phones can be provided by a handy cover, for example. Some only protect the corners of the display, others can even be rotated underwater.
Sand and dust
Along with water, they are related to IP coverage, but are technically a separate threat. Sand and dust do the most damage to beaches and outdoor environments during vacations. Small particles can enter small holes or gaps in the phone and damage external or internal components. And even here the salinity of the grains plays a role.
Falls and impacts
An active vacation may include sports activities, hiking, or other adventures that involve the risk of dropping or bumping your phone. In the best case, this can cause cracks or grooves in the display, in the worst case, then complete cracking, bending or fatal damage.

Loss or theft
You can protect your phone in the summer, for example, by putting it in your pocket, handbag or backpack, where it will be safe from water, stones or direct sunlight. At the same time, you need to think about the fact that your enemy can also be a hole in your pocket, a poorly fastened backpack or the skilled hand of an experienced pickpocket. So watch out.
