Q&A What should I do if my phone overheats in the summer? Is it necessary to pay extra for 1TB when choosing a phone?

Q What to do if phone overheats in summer? Need to pay extra for 1TB when choosing phone?

【PhoneAuto】Recently, the mobile phone industry has been eerily quiet. However, now that mobile phone manufacturers are all focusing on the 618 shopping festival, new products have been released and put on the shelves early. As consumers, we are definitely thrilled. The phones that we thought were too expensive to purchase before can now be bought during the 618 festival.

But with so many phones on discount, how do we choose?

For people with limited budgets, mid-range phones are more recommended. After all, the current market is very competitive, with many options available, and most of the relevant models offer a 1TB version. Although high-end flagship phones are good, the price difference between different versions is quite large. The 1TB version and the 128GB version are priced like two different phones, which limits consumers’ choices.

• moto razr 40 review Starting at 3,999 yuan! Possibly the best value vertical folding screen at present
• Sony Xperia 1 V The flagship imaging device that combines thin and light with high picture quality
• 15-inch MacBook Air A very distinctive laptop

So, is it necessary to pay extra for a 1TB phone? We will discuss this in more detail later.

Oh, using conventional phones can be boring. It is said that foldable screens have become cheaper now. Can we get one for 5,000 yuan? Of course, there are options, but the choices are limited, and they can only be small foldable screen phones.

The weather in June is hotter than the 618 festival, especially when charging or playing games on our phones. Is there a good way to solve this problem? PhoneAuto will discuss this in more detail later. By the way, it’s better not to choose a certain dragon 888 model during the 618 festival. Those who understand the reasons know why.

In addition, some netizens have noticed that the president of Bosch China has expressed his views on the theft of technology between mobile phone manufacturers and car companies. He said that car companies making phones is a waste of time, but it is somewhat reasonable for mobile phone manufacturers to make cars. How should we evaluate this?

1. Is it necessary to pay extra for a 1TB phone?

2. Is there a suitable foldable screen phone for around 5000 yuan during the 618 promotion?

3. What should I do if my phone heats up in the summer? Any good solutions?

4. How do you evaluate the statement made by the CEO of Bosch that car companies making phones are just doing it to kill time?

Is it necessary to pay extra for 1TB when buying a phone?

If you choose a high-end flagship phone, I think it’s not necessary to pay “billions” of yuan extra because it might exceed your budget. If your budget is between 2000 and 3000 yuan for a mid-range phone, it doesn’t matter to pay a little extra for 1TB, because the price difference between different versions of mid-range phones is not that big.

For example, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo has a Jingdong price of 2099 yuan for the 12GB+512GB version, while the 16GB+1TB version is currently sold for 2399 yuan, with only a 300 yuan price difference between them. Seeing the price comparison, I believe most people would choose the latter without hesitation.

What’s more important is the difference in user experience. We used to think that 128GB and 256GB are enough, which was true a few years ago. But now it’s 2023, and mobile applications are becoming more and more abundant, occupying more and more memory. To be honest, you never know how big these apps are. When you download an app that is supposed to be 1GB, you might be surprised to find that it is far larger than 1GB when you check the file size!

At first, mobile phone users may not feel any problem, but as more and more apps and games are installed, they will clearly feel that the phone is slowing down, which is the lag problem that occurs after using the phone for a long time, and it has a certain relationship with the phone’s RAM. If that’s the case, can’t I just uninstall some unnecessary apps? It’s true in theory, but it’s time-consuming and the effect is mediocre, ultimately because the phone’s memory is not large enough.

Some users solve this problem by uninstalling the applications they rarely use and reinstalling when needed. This is a good method, but it’s troublesome and requires frequent login. The advantage is that it helps to remember account passwords.

Therefore, is it necessary to pay extra for a 1TB smartphone? It is highly necessary, especially now that mid-range 1TB smartphones are very affordable. Both the price and user experience make it essential.

Is there a suitable foldable screen smartphone for around 5000 yuan during the 618 shopping festival?

Thanks to the efforts of major smartphone manufacturers, the price of foldable screen smartphones has dropped to below 4000 yuan, and Moto deserves credit for this. Therefore, in terms of price, the Moto Razr 40 series is the first choice, with a starting price of 3999 yuan.

Moto Razr 40 Series

For a budget of around 5000 yuan, the Moto Razr 40 Ultra may be a better choice, even though it costs more. If we look at the requirements of the author for a small foldable screen smartphone, the Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra are two different foldable screen smartphones. The latter provides a stronger folding screen experience because it has a larger secondary screen, which is 3.6 inches long. In contrast, the outer screen of the Moto Razr 40 is only 1.47 inches long and not as versatile.

Samsung Z Flip3

If we consider the maturity of foldable screen smartphones, the Samsung Z Flip3 is a recommended option, and it is currently available for only 4699 yuan, with a subsidy price of only 4219 yuan, well within the budget. The folding interaction of the Samsung Z Flip3 is relatively mature, with various gameplay options. However, this foldable smartphone has been on the market for some time, and the design of the outer screen still inherits the product concept of the previous generation. If consumers want to experience a foldable smartphone with a larger outer screen, they can wait for the release of the Samsung Z Flip4.

vivo X Flip

vivo’s small folding phone, the vivo X Flip, arrived late after several generations of vivo’s large folding screen phones were updated. Compared to several other recommended small foldable phones, this product does not have any price advantage, with a starting price of 5,999 yuan, and there were no discounts during the 618 period.

However, fortunately, the vivo X Flip has strong product capabilities. The phone inherits the genes of vivo’s imaging flagship, equipped with a Zeiss optical camera, and supports various shooting modes such as handheld HD shooting, free hovering shooting, DV mode, and hovering delay shooting. It is also equipped with a 3.0-inch horizontal outer screen, which is both entertaining and suitable for taking pictures. In addition, this small folding phone has an outstanding appearance and high recognition, directly hitting the hearts of many female consumers.

So far, the vivo X Flip is still the cumulative champion of the JD 618 mobile phone speed ranking, and has been at the top of the list for 15 consecutive days. It can be seen that for a small folding screen phone, having a high appearance and a hovering experience that surpasses straight board phones is very important.

What to do if your phone overheats in the summer? Are there any good ways?

Most of the time, a phone overheats due to improper user operation or mismatched usage scenarios.

In high temperature environments, it is best not to place the phone in direct sunlight, because the phone is also afraid of “heatstroke”. Prolonged operation like this will not only cause the phone to overheat, but can also cause aging of the screen and circuits, affecting the phone’s service life.

Many people have the habit of playing with their phones while charging, which is actually equivalent to making the phone battery work twice, both charging and discharging, even a donkey from the production team wouldn’t dare to do this.

Also, running high-consumption apps for a long time can cause the phone to heat up.

To solve the problem of overheating, users should turn off unnecessary background running programs, because running too many programs, especially some large mobile games, can cause CPU overload, resulting in current thermal effects and causing the phone to heat up.

In fact, the best way is to give the phone enough “rest” time to avoid it being in a high-temperature environment for a long time. Of course, if you play games for a long time, you can get a phone cooling back clip if conditions permit.

In addition, users also need to use the correct phone case, preferably with a lightweight and breathable material; the phone case can be removed when not in use.

How to evaluate the statement by the president of Bosch that car companies making phones is ridiculous?

The operation of stealing ideas between mobile phone manufacturers and car companies is actually an old topic, but at the 15th China Automotive Blue Book Forum held recently, many industry executives once again discussed this issue.

Chen Yudong, the president of Bosch China, said: “Car manufacturers making phones means they have nothing better to do. Car companies should not make phones. It is enough to do a good job in the automotive industry and dig deep into it. If phone manufacturers go bankrupt, it doesn’t matter, but if car companies go bankrupt, try it and see. The position is firm! It is possible for phone manufacturers to make cars, but it is redundant for car companies to make phones.”

In short, in Chen Yudong’s opinion, it is feasible for phone manufacturers to make cars, but it is unnecessary for car companies to make phones.

From the current situation of the mobile phone industry’s downturn, Chen Yudong’s statement has some truth. According to the latest forecast report released by TechInsights’ Wireless Smart Phone Strategy (WSS) service, global smartphone shipments will continue to shrink in 2023, and it is expected to be reduced to 1.16 billion units (decreasing by 23.3 million units), a year-on-year decrease of 2.8% from 2022’s 1.2 billion units.

However, the situation in the automotive industry is completely different. It is currently in the midst of various new technology breakthroughs, and the market share of new energy vehicles is still difficult to surpass that of fuel vehicles, which has given new players and smartphone manufacturers many opportunities. For Bosch, the smartphone industry has nothing to do with it, but the team responsible for making cars is growing, and as a supplier, all it sees is a steady stream of orders, which is very exciting.

Is it necessary to add money to buy a phone with 1TB of storage?

If you choose a high-end flagship phone, the author believes that it is not necessary to add “yi” yuan (a Chinese monetary unit) because it may exceed the budget. If your selection range is a mid-range phone priced between 2000 and 3000 yuan, then it doesn’t matter to add some money to get 1TB of storage, after all, the price difference between different versions of mid-range phones is not big.

Take the Redmi Note 12 Turbo as an example. Its 12GB+512GB version costs 2099 yuan on JD.com, while the 16GB+1TB version is currently priced at 2399 yuan, with only a price difference of 300 yuan between them. Seeing the price comparison, I believe that most people will choose the latter without hesitation.

What’s more important is the difference in experience. We thought that 128GB or 256GB would be enough, which was true a few years ago. But now it is 2023, and mobile applications are becoming more and more abundant, and the memory they occupy is also increasing. To be honest, you never know how large these applications are. When you download them, they claim to be 1GB, but the actual file size is much larger than that!

At first, mobile phone users may not feel any problems, but as more and more applications and games are downloaded, it becomes obvious that the phone reacts much slower, which is the problem of lag that appears after the phone has been used for a long time and is related to the phone’s running memory. So, why not uninstall some unnecessary applications? This is true, but in practice it is time-consuming and the effect is only average. Ultimately, it is because the phone’s memory is not large enough.

Some users solve this problem by uninstalling apps that are not commonly used and reinstalling them when needed. This is a good approach, but it’s too troublesome and requires frequent login to accounts. The advantage is that it allows users to review their account passwords frequently.

So, you may ask if it’s necessary to pay extra for a 1TB mobile phone. It is very necessary, especially now that mid-range phones with 1TB storage are very affordable, both in terms of price and user experience.****
