Can I use my phone while charging?
First of all, the issue of safety should be considered in order to eliminate the possibility of electric shock and even death. In the case of chargers for mobile gadgets, this is not just a formal warning, but a very real threat from which use can save original (complete) adapter.
However, not everything is so simple, because many are not satisfied, for example, with the charger that is placed in the box with the iPhone. To charge your Apple gadget more efficiently, you can purchase a device with a higher amperage from Apple or other trusted manufacturers.
In this case, it will still be safe to use the smartphone while charging, but the battery life will be reduced (by a relatively small amount).
What danger exists?
The most dangerous option is buying a cheap charger from an unknown manufacturer. Such an adapter can actually kill a person and such incidents have already occurred. Moreover, in several cases it was found that the user was simply talking on the phone while charging, and did not play heavy games or run energy-intensive applications.
Another problem is slow charging and heating of the battery while using the gadget while charging. When you launch a game or even a movie on a smartphone that is connected to a power source, you will notice an increase in body temperature, and this is not at all good for the device’s battery.
If such loads are regularly placed on the battery, this will affect its service life, and in the worst case scenario, the battery may even catch fire. Naturally, owners of smartphones from the cheap segment are primarily exposed to this risk.
Bottom line
You can use a smartphone while charging if you confident in the manufacturer the gadget itself and the charger, however, the battery will experience additional loads and heat up.
If you have, for example, an Apple iPhone, Samsung flagships and other top smartphones with a complete adapter in your hands, there is nothing to fear (if they get too hot, the devices will simply turn off automatically), while an ordinary gadget with the same nameless adapter can cause trouble.
