Everyone owns a smartphone nowadays, but not everyone knows how it works and what are the best practices to be followed to make your phone long lasting. Please do not believe the random tips you may read in WhatsApp messages and Facebook posts, most of them are conveying the wrong information. We wanted to clear your smartphone myths.
Common Smartphone myths
1) If your phone camera has high megapixel camera, better the camera, and its pictures – WRONG
As you know megapixel is the measurement of how many pixels which are packed into the camera sensor. It is not necessary that higher the MP the better the camera and the photos clicked with it. It depends on many more factors and in fact high MP camera may give better pictures in the sunlight but it will suffer Indoors and in low light areas. In such conditions, phone with a lesser MP camera will perform better. To be specific, 12 Mega Pixel is the sweet spot for a mobile camera.
2) Charging for shorter duration or top-up charging is not good for the phone battery. – WRONG
Charging for shorter duration or top-up charging is perfectly fine with Smartphones and laptops. Some people believe that we need to completely drain the battery before charging it, which is totally wrong and needs to be avoided at all cost. Please charge it at least when the charge is at 15%.
3) We should use a recommended charger only – Not necessarily, but better.
Nowadays only 2 type of phones comes, either iPhone or an Android. iPhones are totally isolated since they have a separate lightning cable. Androids are almost having the same Voltage specs overall. But new generation devices which have fast charging features will not be enabled if you use a normal charger. Two things to keep in mind, use a good charging cable and keep away from duplicate chargers which are available in local mobile shops and some online websites.
4) You should not put the phone for charging overnight – WRONG
It is perfectly safe to do it. As the Smartphones are smart enough to cut off the charging when its full and will not recharge it till it goes below 96%.
5) Closing apps regularly when not used – not required for a phone which has at least 2GB RAM.
Some people have a habit of swiping and closing the background running apps regularly or using app cleaners which do this automatically. Do Not do this, if your phone has at least 2GB of RAM. Please keep in mind that unused RAM is wasted RAM. Closing the apps regularly will affect your battery life as the phone has to load the app again all the time which uses system resources.
5) Full signal, Better data speed. Technically correct, but the ideal case it does not make much difference. Depends on the area you are.
6) Phone go warm or hot while charging is completely Normal.
7) Full charge the phone before using it for the first time – WRONG.
For newer generation phones there is no need to charge/discharge the phone battery before using it for the first time. Use it normally, once it reaches 10% recharge it.
8) Can you make a voice call or use the phone while Charging? YES
It is absolutely fine to use your phone normally while in charge. Please do not fall for the fake forwarded emails & WhatsApp messages which explain the dangers of such things.
