The phone's battery is one of its weakest points.

Modern devices have high performance, which is why, when used actively, they often run out of battery at the most inopportune moment.

However, even in such cases, you should not borrow a charger from acquaintances and friends.

Let's figure out why it is recommended to use only the original charger to charge your gadget.

A burnt smartphone is just part of the trouble you may face. If you don’t keep an eye on the device, it may eventually turn into a real fire.

Secondly, and this may be a much more serious problem, information leakage.

Unscrupulous people can use your charger as a gateway to get to your personal information. For example, public USB stations pose such a danger.
