How to protect your phone in cold weather
"If it's cold enough outside for water to freeze, your phone is not going to enjoy the weather much either"
Your mobile phones were built to work at their best in temperatures. If it's cold enough outside for water to freeze, your phone is not going to enjoy the weather much either.
It could start performing very slowly, your battery might drain quickly, or if exposed to too much cold for too long, could even shut down altogether.
Don't charge it in the cold
Charging your phone in extreme temperatures can permanently damage the battery, but says that the loss in capacity due to cold temperatures is temporary.
To make the battery last longer, warm your phone to its normal temperature range before you try to charge it.
So, remember to warm up the device to room temperature for at least a half-hour before charging it.
Keep it in your pocket
Keeping your phone in your pants pocket (or an internal jacket pocket) rather than in a purse or a messenger bag will keep it warmer, longer.
A bag offers some protection, but keeping your phone against your body allows your body heat to keep it from reaching critically low temperatures.
Have a protective case
Make sure you have a protective case on your device and don't take it off, especially when you're outside in the cold.
If you're planning to be outside a lot this winter, whether for work or adventures, invest in a thermal phone case that will help to insulate your phone against the cold.
There are several options on the market.
Avoid using your phone
Another tip to keep your phone warm is just as simple as trying to not use it in very cold weather.
Just keep it in your pocket or bag and protect it from cold, rain, and other precipitation.
If you have to take a phone call outside, it's best to use your headphone controller to answer so that you can still keep your phone sheltered and stay warm in your bag or pocket.
Turn it off
If your phone gets wet or experiences condensation due to the cold, turn it off and dry it completely before you turn it back on.
To avoid water damage, make sure any moisture inside the phone has evaporated before you try to use the phone.
