Phone tapping in the battery

The Internet was flooded with video reviews and articles on social networks about bugs mounted on smartphone batteries by manufacturers. The wiretapping of the phone in the battery, according to the "experts", is under a protective film. Having removed the battery wrapper, a large microcircuit is detected. Removing the bug does not interfere with the phone.

 

Global conspiracy - so “experts” assure in all seriousness and recommend that users urgently remove a bug from the device. To a user far from the world of digital technology, the idea seems tempting. And thousands of people seize the battery, tear off the wrapper and remove the microcircuits of the listening devices.

 

Phone tapping in the battery

 

It is clear that this is all nonsense, but what kind of chip is it, without which the phone continues to work without failures. There are several options:

 

1. Phone wireless charging control board. The phone itself is equipped with a coil operating on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The battery board is a protective device that regulates the supply of current to the battery cells. If you disrupt this board, the phone will work, but the battery will not charge correctly. The smartphone may catch fire or a short circuit on the battery.
2. NFC technology. You think that the phone screen is making payments by touching the terminal - you are mistaken. Manufacturers hide the board behind a battery wrapper so that the user does not scratch the chip when disassembling the smartphone. Remove the fee and try making a payment.
3. Controller for fast battery charging. An increased current is used for charging, and the board on the battery acts as a filter. If you remove the protective board and connect the smartphone to a non-native charger, the battery will inflate or light up. By the way, manufacturers of branded smartphones are saved by such a simple chip. After all, users often, when they lose their charge, save on the purchase of original memory devices, and take on the market, which is cheaper.

 

 

So, wiretapping the phone in the battery is an invention of stupid people. In addition, the manufacturer is not interested in losing customers. After all, one such incident will put an end to sales. Who will buy a “charged" smartphone?

 

And if we talk about wiretapping conversations on the phone, then for such purposes there are hundreds of programs that are easy to install on your smartphone and configure for remote control. It is not necessary to spoil an expensive phone.
