Generally speaking, using a mobile phone to listen to novels would not reduce the lifespan of the mobile phone, but it might also have some negative effects on the mobile phone. When using a mobile phone to listen to a novel, the mobile phone will receive a lot of radiation, which may affect the life of the mobile phone. Prolonged exposure to radiation may shorten the battery life of the phone and may also affect the electronic components inside the phone. Listening to novels on the phone might also have a negative impact on the phone's performance. Running for a long time might take up too much of the phone's resources, causing the phone to run slowly and even cause the phone to stutter. Therefore, although using the mobile phone to listen to novels itself will not reduce the life of the mobile phone, this way of using the mobile phone may also have some negative effects on the mobile phone. It is recommended to reduce the time of listening to novels on the mobile phone and maintain good habits to extend the life of the mobile phone.
