These are some myths and truths about smartphones-
Myths-
1) The more the megapixels, the better the photos- False
It does not really depend on the megapixels. It depends more on the quality, not the quantity of the megapixels.

2) The more the ram, the better the phone- False
If you are not a person who uses 5-6 apps at the same time, and use 2-3 apps together. A phone with 4-6 gb ram will be a fit for you. You don't need to spend that extra money on a phone with 8- 12 gb ram. Make sure that phone has a good processor.

3) You should not use your smartphone while it is charging- False
People say that it is not safe to use a smartphone while it is charging. It is not true at all. It is totally safe to do so. Your phone may charge a bit slow and heat a bit but it won't damage it.

4) If you turn of the location of your phone, no one track you- False
When you turn of the location of your phone, then also your location is getting tracked and getting sent to the servers.

5) Heating of your devices can get them to damage themselves- False
We all think that if our devices heat up, it can damage itself. But that is not true. When we play games, use the camera or do some heavy tasks, the processor heats up. So that is why, the device may run slow, but that will not damage it.

Truths-
1) If you put a powerful magnet under a smartphone, it can stop working and the data will be lost- True
Smartphones have copper wires and some metallic components in them that get attracted to the magnet and hence the smartphone stops working and the data gets lost.

In myths,

1, 2, 3 and 5 are not myths.

The more the megapixels, the better the photos is true to a good extent.

The more the RAM, the more apps it can store in the background without slowing down your phone.

You should not use your phone while charging, heat can damage components and can put pressure on the battery in mobile phones. Laptop batteries and their circuits are designed differently to handle pressure of usage while charging. Instead, fast charging damages the battery is a myth to some extent.

Heating of devices can damage internal componets.

In truths,

1, 3 and 4 are not true.

If you put a powerful magnet under a phone, in worst case scenarios, only the speaker and antennas can get damaged, that also if the magnet is a really powerful electromagnet, which isn't accessible to 99.99% people. No data will be lost because smartphones use flash storage and not mechanical drives.

Using your phone on a plane can't crash it, smartphone signals don't interfere with the plane's signals as both operate at different frequencies. This used to be a thing in the past but flight companies have this as a rule just to be on the safe side.

Using a phone in an airport won't drain much battery if your signal is good.

Don't compare phone cameras with literal cameras, not worth the comparison, but in phonesn there are Android devices which can easily destroy iPhones in camera comparison. I have used several phones in my life, and I mean several, so I know. And it also depends on the photographer.

Look at these photos, all from my Galaxy M31s. A better photographer can take better photos, while a worse one will take worser photos even with a Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Of course post processing matters, but in phones, megapixels also matter to some extent, "to some extent", I repeat.

I won't comment on RAM coz you didn't understand my point.20210803_215310_60163.jpgIMG_20210930_172418_190_72965.jpg20211006_143218_75359.jpg20210706_171839_51144.jpg
