Recently the Phone strike term picked heat on the internet when John Cena’s Jackpot movie has showed that a mobile device can be hacked and hackers can turn it into a bomb and make it explode.

This scene attracted the attention of a lot of people and trigger questions like – Could a phone strike ever be real? Is mobile explosion real as shown in the Jackpot movie? Well, if you are curious to know about the phone strike then be with us as we will  let you know about this in details with facts below.

What is Phone Strike?

Phone strike is just a fictional term, means multiple smartphones explode in a chain reaction. In reality, no evidence has been published regarding Phone strike, hence it is just a fictional term.

However, in theories or some sci-fi novels, it has been mentioned that by doing some changes in the phone’s hardware or software via a wireless network, the mobile can be explode, means a knowledgeable hacker can hack it, make some changes, and turn a mobile device into a bomb… which could be dangerous.

Is Mobile Explosion Real as Shown in the Jackpot Movie?

As per the studies, mobile explosion is not real. A hacker can’t simply hack and turn a mobile phone into a bomb and this is because modern smartphones batteries are quite smart and secure. Let’s me show you some facts:

1. Thermal throttling

In all latest smartphone, the feature of thermal throttling reduces the clock speed which helps to cool down the device. So if phone experiences overheating problems, the thermal throttling feature auto reduce the clock speed of processor, which lower down the device heat and ultimate the device gets cool down.

2. Automatic shutdowns

This is another layer of security, if thermal throttle takes time then in that case Automatic shutdown feature gets activated and your phone will shutdown. I bet, you have experienced it once in your life… where the phone gets turned off automatically when a predefined safe limit is touched or reaches a critical level.

Final Words

So overall, we would like to say the modern phone designs are quite secure and safe. They are like Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The battery of latest smartphones auto cut off in case of thermal throttling or heat reaches a critical level. This way nothing happens to phone or phone battery and it keeps cool.

Even if hacker try to manipulate the phone settings, it is nearly impossible for him to make a phone battery explode.

So the concept of phone strike showed in the Jackpot movie is completely unreal and fictional. The modern phone (Android, iPhone) are 100% safe and can’t be turned into a bomb.
