So the base feature of phone torches is backup for power blackouts. I always thought it was to be able to just use the phone for a few seconds when the light in the building switch off while you are at the stairs. Or to quickly read some note outside in the not so light place. Using phone LED instead of real battery is really poor bad, since it drains battery very quickly.
- dlhavema 12y agonot to mention most phones have a note that says something along the lines of "extended use will damage your phone" those little LED's will still heat up if they are left on long enough, hopefully they have good thermal management.. when i took apart my S3 this weekend after it took a bath in the toilet there was nothing around the LED for the flash at all in the way of heat syncs...
