6 Crazy Hacks You Can Do With Your Smartphone

Smartphones have become indispensable. Today, we cannot fathom spending just a couple of hours without our phones by our side. From sending work emails to calling and messaging people, browsing our social media channels, relaxing while listening to our favorite music, or playing our favorite games – smartphones have become the be-all and end-all for our work and entertainment needs. Smartphones, contrary to the popular belief, also make us smarter. We can use smartphones to learn about the past, the present, and what the future has in store for us.

However, do we know everything we need to know about these devices? Talking particularly about the phone’s hardware and software, there are many unknown ‘hacks’ that these smart devices have. 

For instance, while our phone is low on battery, we often turn on the battery-saver mode to ensure that the smartphone runs a bit longer. What if there were similar hacks that make our lives more comfortable? Turns out, we do have similar hacks that help us get the most out of our mobile devices.

Here are six hacks that we can do with our smartphones

Fast Charging

The first hack might be a doozy, especially because the best mobiles today inherently come with fast charging features. However, there may be times when you don’t have an hour for the smartphone to charge completely. During such instances, all you have to do is put your phone in Airplane mode.

This ensures that the smartphone charges faster. Another way to go about it is to switch off the smartphone while charging. Additionally, experts advise users against using their phones while charging, as the Li-ion batteries smartphones use come with a limited charge cycle.

Get Rid of Ads While Gaming

The new fad in the smartphone landscape is gaming. Most of us today unwind after a long day by playing games on our phones. Others, who are more serious about their gaming needs, spend a couple of hours at least on their phones, engrossed in gaming sessions. One of the biggest obstacles we face while gaming is the pesky ads that interrupt our fun. However, there is indeed a hack to stop these ads from popping up.

All you have to do is turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, or simply turn on the Airplane mode! Considering most of the games we play are offline games, this hack will stop ads from popping up incessantly. If this trick doesn’t work, you can clear the mobile cache, and continue to enjoy an ad-free gaming experience!

Augmented Reality Maps

Now, this truly epitomizes how far we’ve come along in terms of smartphone technology. We often use Google Maps while driving, but what if you don’t have to stare at your smartphone all the time? Google Play Store has an app that lets you project the map onto the car’s windshield! Furthermore, you do not need any additional equipment for it to work. You might be using a mobile under RS 10000 or the latest Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra smartphone — this app works on all mobile phones.

Use Your Phone to Control Appliances

Throughout history, human beings invented and innovated primarily to enjoy greater convenience. Today, smartphones extend the same convenience we crave for. Whether we want to change the channel of our smart TV, turn off our smart AC, or use our smart washing machine, we can do everything without getting up by using our smartphones!

Click Photos Using Headphones

The younger generation is selfie-obsessed. Most of us partake in this activity from time to time — some more often than the others. What if we told you that you could click photos by using your headphones? The volume buttons on your headphones, whether you are using an iPhone or an Android phone, can be used to click photos!

Use Your Smartphone as a Measuring Tool

There was a time when we used to rely on tools to get work done. For instance, some of us still use measuring tapes to measure the length or width of things. However, we now live in a world where convenience and technology take center stage. We can use our smartphones to do the dirty work for us. 

There are plenty of apps on Google Play Store and App Store that offer such services for free. From measuring the length of a cricket ground to the size of our teacup, we can measure anything and everything using our smartphone!

Smartphones thus offer greater convenience and do almost everything for us. You can now purchase a new mobile phone that you fancy by shopping at the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store. You won’t have to worry about the costs involved either; on the EMI Store, the products you purchase come with attractive offers and discounts, lowering the price significantly. 

You can also use the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card to make the purchase and convert the cost of the smartphone into convenient, no-cost EMIs. You can also avail of the zero downpayment facility on the EMI Store and bring your new smartphone home without paying any money upfront.
