You might think charging it while you're sleeping is beneficial, but it harms your battery and shortens its life.

Here's the truth about smartphone battery maintenance and why you shouldn't charge it overnight:

Charging Phone Overnight can overload the Battery

Unplug your phone before going to bed and charge it when you wake up.

This could be during your morning routine, at work, or while watching TV in the evening.

It may take an hour or so to charge your device, but leaving it plugged in while you sleep means it will be connected to the charger for a much longer period.

No, you cannot overcharge your phone battery.

Depending on the device, it may be necessary to charge a battery for a limited time to avoid overloading and damaging the battery.

Charging Phone Overnight can degrade the Battery

Leaving the phone charging will most likely degrade the battery.

As previously stated, leaving your phone on charge overnight is likely to result in one of two things that will shorten the battery's lifespan.

You're either letting it charge for hours on end or allowing it to get too hot.

Charging Phone Overnight can start a Fire

The heat generated by charging your phone battery will most likely not be enough to start a fire.

Most experts, however, advise leaving your phone in an open, non-combustible space – just in case.

This includes not charging it under a pile of loose paper or clothing, and most emphatically not under your pillow.

You can damage your phone's battery if you smother it and allow the heat generated by charging to build up significantly.

This isn't to say you shouldn't cool it down too much.

Staying Powered Up

Depending on how you do it, charging your phone overnight isn't always a bad idea.

However, if you are not careful, you may shorten the battery's lifespan, forcing you to purchase a new phone sooner than planned.

In general, however, even with the best care, phone batteries will only last a couple of years.

So, if you need to charge your phone overnight now and then, don't be too concerned.

4. iPhone XS Max

The appearance of the camera in iPhone XS is same as the camera in iPhone X.The protruding module on the rear of the handset still houses two 12MP snappers in a vertical stack which is separated by a Quad-LED True Tone flash. As the previous phones, one camera is telephoto and the other wide-angle, with the same f/1.8 and f/2.4 apertures. But there is a key difference. The iPhone XS Max and XS both feature Smart HDR, an improved mode over the standard HDR on the X, which improves shots with high contract. It ensures that all areas of the photo are lit and detailed. The size of the pixels have also been increased in Apple's latest camera setup, which allows the iPhone XS Max to pull in more light, which results in improved low-light performance. Iphone XS Max is priced at Rs. 1,78,000 for the 64 GB variant.

Bonus

OnePlus 6t

Oneplus phones are considered best “value for money”. From the birth of Oneplus 1 to its latest flagship Oneplus 6t, Oneplus has constantly evolved and given a premium phone in half the price to its competitors. Oneplus 6t is the slight improvement to its previous version Oneplus 6. This phone features two rear cameras 16MP and 20MP sporting f/1.7 aperture each. OnePlus has also increased the pixel size on the main 16MP shooter too up 19% from the OnePlus 5T which is now 1.22um, meaning it’s even more better at low-light shooting than ever. This phone is priced at Rs. 76,000 for the 6GB RAM variant.

Despite the high cost of smartphones, many owners believe it is critical to safeguard their investment.

Because the glass screen of a cell phone is one of the most vulnerable parts of the device, it makes sense to protect it from scratches, dust, and other debris.

Reduces Eye Strain

Matte-finish screen protectors diffuse glare by making reflections less noticeable.

Newer screen protectors, on the other hand, use chemical treatments to add an extra layer of protection.

These anti-reflective (AR) screen protectors bend light to reduce glare and reflected light, both from the smartphone and from the environment, such as sunlight.

The light cancellation improves screen visibility and reduces the need to squint to see what's on-screen.

Protects Against Dirt Accumulation

After heavy use, surfaces that are frequently touched, such as cell phone screens, can become stained with fingerprints, skin oil, sweat, and grime.

Safety issues that obscure and inhibit optical performance can be kept to a minimum by using a dirt-repellent luster screen protector to prevent all types of dirt and contaminants.

Enhance privacy

Cell phone users can use privacy screen protectors to keep their personal information safe from prying eyes.

The information on a cell phone is only visible to the person who is directly in front of it when looking at it straight on when it is protected by a privacy screen protector.

When the phone is tilted at an angle, however, the contents of the screen are obscured, keeping electronic data private and preventing anyone but the user from seeing it.

Prevent UV damage

Anti-reflective screen protectors essentially bend light as it passes through the phone's surface, reducing reflection.

AR screen protectors provide customers with unique UV and glare protection by filtering out UVB rays and reflected glare, as well as removing glare from sunlight that reflects into their eyes.

The readability of the screen is improved and optimized with this light-canceling technology, which is critical for optimal user performance.

Resistant to fingerprints

For all smartphone users, sticky finger marks are extremely inconvenient.

Anti-fingerprint screen protectors repel skin oils and aid in the appearance and attachment of fingerprints and smudges, making prints on the screen virtually invisible from all angles.

Cell phone users can keep their screens looking clean and new at all times without having to constantly clean them with a fingerprint-resistant screen protector.
