1. There is interference before an incoming call.

This happens because a mobile phone is a transceiver, which in turn interacts with base stations. In particular, the phone monitors the station signal and occasionally emits a strong signal from the station. A laptop has antennas, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but their power is lower.

As a result, electrical fluctuations in the signals are detected when the smartphone is lying next to the switched-on laptop. Therefore, interference may occur a few seconds before an incoming call.

2. Losing charge faster.

Keep your mobile phone away from your laptop at least one metre. Otherwise, the gadget may discharge faster.
