Phones Canada has always been a place where we celebrate all things tech, including the latest news and updates from the world of smartphones. Today, we have an interesting story to share about Pavel Durov, a billionaire, CEO, and entrepreneur known for his work behind VK and the Telegram app. It turns out that he\u2019s also now the owner of a broken phone!<\/p>\n
But this isn\u2019t your typical high-end luxury device. Pavel Durov, with a net worth of $15.5 billion, has been using the humble Galaxy A52 for the past two years. Unfortunately, the Dubai heat has taken its toll on this mid-range device, literally breaking it in two pieces.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Durov shared on his Telegram channel:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been using this \u201c$180 Samsung\u201d as my daily handset since 2022. I chose it because I wanted to use Telegram like the majority of users out there \u2013 opting for a budget-friendly option rather than a flagship.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it may sound amusing, smartphones and heat don\u2019t mix well. Excessive heat can cause significant damage to phones, including swelling batteries or overheating internal components like processors. The screen can also suffer from discoloration or cracking when exposed to prolonged heat.<\/p>\n
To avoid heat-related damage to your phone, follow these tips:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Avoid direct sunlight exposure
\n\u2013 Keep your phone in well-ventilated areas
\n\u2013 Manage apps that generate excessive heat
\n\u2013 Don\u2019t leave your phone in hot environments<\/p>\n
Now that Pavel Durov is in need of a new phone recommendation, what would you suggest? The budget is limitless for this tech-savvy billionaire!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
