7 signals that warn you that your cell phone is about to die

A smartphone can last anywhere from two to eight years, depending on brand, maintenance and usage. It's usually easy to tell that a cell phone is dying because things just don't work. But so that you don't become a 'slave' to the last moment and have to buy a mobile phone urgently, there are some signals that indicate that the device is closing its cycle and take measures to replace it.

Battery drains quickly

This is one of the main indicators that your phone is ready to 'let you go'. According to Apple, an iPhone can be fully charged about 500 times before the battery capacity drops to 80%. This means that a phone that previously could last up to 10 hours after charging, now lasts for 8 hours. On Android devices, batteries last 2-3 years. Cell phone batteries are lithium-ion, so they have a limited lifespan. If you notice problems with it, you should replace the battery or the phone.

Screen problems

All of a sudden, the cell phone doesn't work. Touch screens are sensitive and can degrade over time or if you've broken it, you're nearing its end. Screen replacement is usually quite expensive and it is more cost effective to replace the device.

Slowness

If the device takes a while to output a letter, the circuits have begun to degrade. However, before you panic, check if you are running too many apps at the same time which slows down processing and consumes battery.

The cell phone turns off and on

All of a sudden, your phone decides it's the perfect time to turn it off and on again. This could be due to battery temperature, but you may need to consider a new cell phone.

Not updated

When companies release new cell phone models, software updates are no longer compatible with older ones. In addition to making the apps harder to use, it also means less security and your data can be hacked.

Heat

When your phone gets hot even though you haven't used it for a long time, it's a sure sign that the end is near. In these cases, its internal parts are overheating beyond normal use. Be careful because the battery could explode or catch fire.

'ghost' touches

When the phone starts working even when you don't touch it, it's called ghost touch. This is usually not a software problem, but could be due to screen damage, water damage, a bad charger, or an internal defect. Chances are, the cell phone can be saved, but be prepared for the opposite.
