Smartphone myths that you believed to be true

We all use smartphones, some heavy users and some minimal; but one thing that fools us all is the set of myths that we don’t know who created! We are all careful about our phones so when we get to know a ‘preventive’ measure, we jump into it without putting much thought. These myths have directed us long enough. Now it’s time to bust those common myths:

Higher specs mean better performance: It is not always true. I have seen phones which are not high on specs but are amazing performance machines. Higher specs should be complimented by many other aspects and if not, higher specs often leads to lags.

Higher megapixel means better image quality: Well, not true! It totally depends upon the lens not the megapixel on how the images will come out. Anyone who has the slightest idea of the functioning of a modern camera will tell you this.

Charging devices overnight damages the battery: This was true when manufacturers used NiCAD and NiMH batteries. The modern batteries are lithium-ion batteries, which will last longer if you keep them charged.

Automatic brightness saves battery: This is a very common misunderstanding. The automatic display brightness has nothing to do with your battery saving. You may think that this component helps you save battery, but if you truly want to save battery, dim the screen manually.

Wi-Fi/Bluetooth drain your battery: Older days, this was a legit belief; but not anymore. New age devices use little-to-no power while not in active use.

You should only use the charger that came with the phone: Another common myth. I don’t know who spread it! Guys, it is not right; you can use any decent charger to charge your phone.

Close background apps to boost performance: There are rare occasions where this is true but like I said, RARE. Modern devices are very advanced and they don’t allow the background apps to use much of the phone’s resources at all.
