We have all heard myths about computers and smartphones. Keeping phone for overnight charging is risky, better megapixel makes a better camera and other similar stuff. Many such things have been told to you. We present 8 such myths about the smartphones that you have been believing to be true for all these years.



Smartphone camera

You may have heard from your friends that xyz phone's camera is the best because it has a 10, 20 or 47 megapixel camera. While the truth is that the quality of the photo does not depend on the megapixels of the camera. Megapixels do matter for better photos, but things like aperture are also important.

Smartphone  Brightness

Nowadays almost all the smartphones that are available in the market have the option of auto brightness. Auto brightness means that whenever you are in the sun or in a bright environment, the brightness of the display will automatically get brighter. Many people believe that keeping the brightness in auto mode eliminates the drain of the battery, which is not true at all.

Third Party Apps in Smartphones 

Often you might have heard that downloading apps from the third party app store to the app phone invites virus attacks to your phone. This is not entirely true, because a lot of times, malwares come from popular app markets as well. Google makes sure that no user data is compromised by the apps that are installed from the Play store.

Overnight charging in Smartphones

You might have heard that you shouldn't charge your smartphones all night long. It damages the battery. Most modern chargers have a built-in circuitry that protects overload.

Background apps in Android

Many people believe that the apps running in the background of the phone should be closed, otherwise the battery drains and the phone lags. There is no need to worry about the recent apps and neither about the apps running in the background. If an app is running in the background, in contrast it will open faster.

Battery life of a Smartphone

All the claims given are false about charging of the smartphone.
1. The smartphone should be charged only when the battery is completely over.
2. Make a full charge before using the phone.
3. More mAh is good.

Charger myths

Some people believe that you should charge the phone only with the charger that comes with the phone. This thing is completely absurd. You can charge your phone from charger of any other company, but keep in mind that the capacity of the other company's charger must be equal to the capacity of the charger of your phone.
