Huawei and Honor Phones: Why the Charger Gets So Hot

It is one of the most common concerns for many users. When you start to perceive more heat than normal in the charger of the Huawei and Honor mobiles , the big question is to know if it is a normal operation, or something begins to fail. Added to this doubt is the latent fear, as always when we talk about something related to electricity and possible abnormal behavior.

Both Honor and Huawei users often flood the specialized forums asking whether or not the heating suffered by the charger of their mobile is normal. The first thing to keep in mind is that it is common for electronic products to generate heat while charging them. In addition, most of the new phones have Quick Charge or SuperCharge fast charging technologies . These require high levels of current and voltage during charging, so the temperature will be higher compared to phones that adopt standard charging.

However, if the phone is charged with a standard charger when the ambient temperature is around 25 ° C, but the device continues to generate more heat than normal or even displays a warning that the phone is overheating, it will It is recommended to remove the charger, make a backup of the data and go to an authorized center for review, since in this case it can be dangerous to continue charging the device.

Avoid overheating the charger

In addition, the temperature of the charger and the phone can be affected by the environment and the user’s usage habits. To avoid these overheating, it is recommended to avoid these situations.

Using a non-standard charger

When we use a non-original charger, it is susceptible to fluctuations in current and voltage , which may be incompatible with the phone’s charging protocol and generate additional heat. For security reasons, any brand recommends using only original chargers.

Charge in unsuitable place

We will have to avoid charging the mobile in a place with high temperatures or poor ventilation (such as a car). It is also not recommended to use external battery outdoors during the summer, or that the terminal be accidentally covered by a blanket while it is charging. These factors will have a negative effect on the heat dissipation of the device, so its temperature will increase.

Applications include, and much

The use of games or other applications that consume a lot of energy is not recommended during charging, as well as the continuous video playback. This can cause the internal components to generate more heat.

Try another plug

It is a method to rule out that the problem is from our mobile. If we try another outlet and it gets less hot, there may be a defect in the regular plug that is overloading the adapter.
