Which smartphone myth surprised you the most?

Samsung's expensive S series phones have 4 features that the A series phones don't have: DeX, AI (including Circle to Search), wireless charging and S pen. Most people don't need those features and the A series phones meet their needs

The rice trick actually worked bro.
Phone was working perfectly fine the next day

I don't practice myth #8. I DON'T fully charge my phone.

I like the references you made for each caveat 😂

3:13 If you have more megapixels on a small sensor, then the night photos will look worse than a camera with the same small sensor size and less megapixels.

Processes (parts of an app) can drain battery. A poorly developed app can drain your battery faster while using it or while it's running in the background.

Can I use make or receive call with my phone while charging?

[michaelwisdom]

Thank you ❤.
I've been finding it hard to prove people wrong. (Especially moms 😂)

A few you said are correct but the following are not 100% true.

1. Charging your phone regularly will damage your phone battery. Let me explain, first, your phone make use of ions, those electrons are designed to function in a certain way. Simply put, Charing your phone requires it also discharges. Charging and discharging your phone is good for the health of your battery. Secondly all batteries have what is called a charge cycle. Charing your phone all the time to 100% would reduce the cycle. This is the reason why phones in the last 3yrs or so have optimized their software and added a feature to stop your phone charging at 80% to trick the battery prolong the battery cycles. In fact no phone battery gets to 0% when your phone shows 0% it's actually the software telling you to charge. In real life there is still enough power on tha battery, only that if your phone battery ever hits zero electron level it will never charge.


2. Your phone can cause explosion at a gas station. Your phone make use of batteries, and if those batteries ever reach a point of exploding that spark would actually cause a gas explosion.

3. Using phone in an airplane. Well, most phones have multiple radio signals so is an airplane. Your phone signal could interfere with the radio signal from the plane disrupting the signal from control towers.

The tenses, the adjectives, the pronunciations, and fluency is on another level😊. Keep it up man

Rice helped me more than in one instance, including on my laptop.

[noble_selorm]

I remember the "Yoo Guys, let's get started " from Jeff Su's videos. Sounds kind of nice.

Thanks bro . 😂
As an EE, I hope soon I will know these things in detail .

[play_bi]

Disappointed that you didn't mention the myth about fast charging. A lot of smartphones today can charge their 5000mah batteries in less than 30 minutes and they last longer than your 11 pro max, 12, 13 14, 15 and s24 ultra that take more than an hour to charge. Samsung and apple just choose to not innovate.

I love your videos bro keep it up one love from 🇳🇬

[AgbabuneJuliet-ohxq]

Thank you for this interesting video. I really learnt alot.
Please could you recommend a smart phone that would be worth the buy? I'm thinking of the Redmi note 13. But I really need to hear your take on this and other better recommendations. Also, please consider that I really love good cameras.
Thank you❤

Well when using the Internet on your phone or making a phone call, you could get static electricity from it and those charges can interfere with the gases at the gas station, thus causing a fire or an explosion

[warrenmark]

Like a lot of your videos and I would like to know what would you recommend between the A54($259) and S21 ($280)

How about using 70W charger in 15W max smartphone
