In modern times, the smartphone has become an indispensable item that no one can ignore in their daily life. Especially, how to use the phone to both increase the lifespan of the device and protect your privacy is something worth exploring. The habit of placing the phone face down when not in use can help solve many troubles in life.
The benefits of placing the phone face down on the table?
Prevent camera damage
When you place your phone face down, the rear camera will avoid scratches from contact with the table. The reason is that the front camera is protected by a tempered glass layer, but the rear camera is not.
Additionally, placing the phone face down also helps you maintain your privacy and reduce the risk of having your text messages or personal information viewed by others.
Prevent dust and liquid from coming into contact with the screen
When you place the phone face up, dust can dirty the screen. It can scratch the screen and the protective tempered glass during the cleaning process.
Moreover, when using the phone, if you accidentally spill water or food on it, they will directly affect the phone’s screen. To minimize these unwanted factors, you should place the phone face down when putting it on the table or when not using the mobile phone.
Better protect your privacy
When you place the phone face up, incoming notifications will be displayed on the screen. As a result, people around you can read your notifications. This will affect your privacy because if sensitive information is received, it may be leaked.
Therefore, you should place the phone face down when putting it on the table to reduce the chance of people accidentally reading your incoming messages through the phone.
Improve concentration
If you are in a meeting, studying, or discussing work with a partner that requires high concentration, you should place the phone face down and keep it on silent mode. Because smartphones always have the notification feature on the screen to help users identify new messages. This feature can be seen as a strength because it helps you receive messages faster, but the drawback is that when messages come in constantly and too frequently, it will distract you from your work.
