The pixels are based on the RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color mode, which is mostly used for graphic elements (not printed), this is how a group of pixels manage to form images, combine and create a new color. Why does a pixel burn? There are many reasons, for example: a manufacturing fault; devices with screens that have higher resolution, having more pixels there is more risk of a pixel dying; cell phones with very cheap prices, they have lower quality components, etc.

Can a burned pixel be fixed? If you’ve tried to restart, shut down, or reset your cell phone to its factory values ​​and the problem still remains, it is most likely a hardware error and not the operating system, it means that only a cell phone specialist or technician will be able to solve it.

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ANDROID CELL PHONE BATTERY

  • Prevent your cell phone from being completely discharged: According to the information released by the Android Authority technology portal, the ideal would be to keep it between 20% and 80%. Why? because over time the ion cells of the battery are forced and end up degrading, something that would affect its performance.
  • Don’t leave it too long at 0%: There are times when your mobile completely turns off, but there is always a little power left for vital or emergency functions, if you constantly leave it uncharged for days or weeks, it is likely that it will stop working at any moment.
  • Prevent your cell phone from being at high temperatures: stop using it if you feel that your cell phone is overheating, remember that the degradation of the internal components of the batteries is accelerated by heat.
  • Fast charging in moderation: some Xiaomi devices fully charge their battery in 15 minutes, this with a 120W charger, although it is not a negative function if you repeat it daily it could considerably damage the battery.
