Tips to keep phones and electronic devices safe when going to sea

THÁI TRANG (T/H) |

Sand, seawater and high temperatures in the summer can easily damage phones and electronic devices if not properly protected.

Use waterproof bags

Waterproof bags are items that many people choose when going to the beach to protect their phones from water, sand and moisture. Some types of bags still allow touch operations or taking photos underwater. Users should carefully check the bag's lock before use to limit water seeping inside.

Limit devices from being exposed to harsh sunlight

High outdoor temperatures can cause the phone to heat up quickly, reduce battery performance, or automatically turn off the power to protect the device.

Many people have a habit of placing their phones directly on a towel or outdoor chair for a long time. Keeping the device under constant sunlight can affect the screen and battery life.

When not in use, the device should be stored in a bag or placed in a shady place.

Avoid letting sand stick to the charging port

Sea sand can get into charging ports, speakers or phone gaps, affecting the usage process.

After going to the beach, users should wipe the device clean with a soft cloth, and check the charging port before plugging in. Using a hard object to remove sand from the slot can scratch or damage internal components.

Do not charge the battery when the device is still damp

After exposure to water or a high-humidity environment, the phone needs to be completely wiped dry before charging. Some devices currently have warnings to detect moisture in the charging port and temporarily stop charging to avoid short circuits.

Backup data before the trip

Before sea trips, tourists can back up photos, videos and important data to cloud storage platforms or other devices. This helps limit the risk of data loss in case the phone falls into the water, is damaged or lost.

Carry a portable charger

Taking photos, recording videos or using maps continuously makes the phone drain quickly during travel. Power banks help users be more proactive when moving outdoors or to areas where it is difficult to find a charging point.
