An expert has warned of the dangers of carrying a phone in the back pocket of your pants

If you carry your phone in your back pocket, not only can it be stolen, but there is also a risk that the equipment will go bad. Anton Averyanov, CEO of ST IT Group, an expert of the TechNet NTI market, told Izvestia on December 10.

"When wearing a jacket that covers only the top, the temperature in the phone drops. At low temperatures, condensation can cover the board and there is a risk of ice, and when a person sits down, the board can crack," he said.

The expert specified that there is always a high risk of stealing a phone from the back pocket. At the same time, he said, this place of storage of the smartphone when the battery fires will take longer to heat up compared to others, which will slow down the detection of the problem and lead to a later reaction of the person.

In order not to suddenly receive a "memory full" notification, it is worth regularly checking the storage volume and taking appropriate measures in case of overflow, the expert noted. Vishnevsky also recommended regularly cleaning the cache.
