Many smartphone owners put their gadgets with screens on the table. There are several reasons for this. We tell you when to dim the phone screen.

Why did you turn off the phone screen?

First, they do this so as not to scratch the smartphone’s camera. In many smartphone models, the cameras protrude strongly from the body. If you have such a model, it is very convenient to put the phone on the screen.

Secondly, on some smartphones, when the screen is muted, the volume of the incoming call is muted. For example, such a function is offered by Google’s “Phone” program.
