So we came up with few everyday accidents that may happen with  mobiles phones and how you can save your phones from being damaged by it.

1. Virus Attack

A smartphone virus can only spread through a medium where there is connectivity and data movement like infrared, bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc. So unless you are not sure of what data is moved from other device to your phone don't go for it.
