Experts warn that cooling a hot smartphone rapidly in a fridge or freezer can lead to condensation and internal damage, even on water-resistant models.
Putting a hot smartphone into a fridge or freezer may look like a quick fix, but it can make the damage worse. The main risk is condensation: as warm air inside the device cools rapidly, moisture can form in gaps and on internal components. When the phone warms up again after removal, that moisture problem can intensify. Even devices with strong water resistance are not immune to the effects of sudden temperature change, according to Tech Advisor and other consumer technology reports.
